  • Robert D. Ray
    ROBERT D. RAY Few names in Iowa’s 172-year history are as instantly recognizable as Robert D. Ray. He was born in Des Moines September 26, 1928 and passed away in Des Moines on July 8, 2018. In the intervening years, Robert D. Ray’s leadership touched the lives of generations of Iowans on dozens of fronts and reached global impact on several occasions. Ray grew up in the Drake neighborhood and met the love of his life and future wife, Billie Lee Hornberger, at what is now First Christian Church while they were students at Roosevelt High School. The Roosevelt High School sweethearts started dating in 1945 and were married on December 22, 1951. His life revolved around love of family, first as a son and brother, followed by his passion to be a devoted husband, dedicated father to the Ray’s three daughters and adoring grandfather to their eight grandchildren. After World War II, Ray served the U. S. Army in Japan. He graduated from Drake University with a business degree in 1952 and law degree 1954. He was a law and reading clerk in the Iowa State Senate, where he began to understand government and relish politics. Later, he built a successful practice as a trial lawyer with two brothers named Lawyer; the firm was Lawyer, Lawyer and Ray. In 1963, Ray was elected Iowa Republican State Chairman and became a member of the Republican National Committee. After heavy losses in the 1964 Goldwater debacle, Ray resolved to rebuild and the GOP elected three new Congressmen and 88 state legislators in 1966.

  • U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad
    U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad On December 7, 2016, Governor Branstad announced that he had accepted the nomination from President-elect Donald Trump to serve as Ambassador of the United States to the People’s Republic of China. He was confirmed by the Senate on May 22, 2017, and was sworn in on May 24, 2017. Ambassador Terry Branstad was born, raised and educated in Iowa. A native of Leland, Branstad was elected to the Iowa House in 1972, ’74 and ’76, and elected as Iowa’s lieutenant governor in 1978. Branstad was Iowa’s longest-serving governor, from 1983 to 1999. As the state’s chief executive, he weathered some of Iowa’s worst economic turmoil, during the farm crisis of the ‘80s, while helping lead the state’s resurgence to a booming economy in the ‘90s. At the end of his tenure, Iowa enjoyed record employment, an unprecedented $900 million budget surplus, and the enactment of historic government overhauls that led to greater efficiencies in state government. As a result of Governor Branstad’s hands-on, round-the-clock approach to economic development, Iowa’s unemployment rate went from 8.5 percent when he took office to a record low 2.5 percent by the time he left in 1999. Following his four terms as governor, Branstad served as president of Des Moines University (DMU). During his 6-year tenure, he was able to grow the university into a world-class educational facility. Its graduates offer health care in all 50 states and in nearly every Iowa county.

  • National Lieutenant Governors Association HOW OFTEN DO SECONDS-IN-COMMAND SUCCEED to GOVERNOR?
    National Lieutenant Governors Association PRESS ADVISORY May 24, 2017 For Immediate Use Contact: NLGA Director Julia Hurst at [email protected] HOW OFTEN DO SECONDS‐IN‐COMMAND SUCCEED TO GOVERNOR? Up‐to‐date research on gubernatorial succession is at www.nlga.us An updated research piece is available exclusively from the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) which details how often seconds‐in‐command succeed to governor. “Gubernatorial Succession Data: 1980 – current” shows the sixth (6th) second‐in‐command this decade succeeded to governor. Iowa Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds succeeded to governor upon Governor Terry Branstad’s resignation today to become U.S. Ambassador to China. Two current governors are former NLGA Chairs: Governor Reynolds and Delaware Governor John Carney. “When Lt. Governor Reynolds succeeded, she became the eleventh (11th) sitting governor who first served as lieutenant governor or first in line of gubernatorial succession,” said NLGA Director Julia Hurst. “These include the governors of Alabama, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, and Vermont.” “The previous five gubernatorial successions between January 1, 2010, and this date were in North Dakota, West Virginia, Oregon, South Carolina, and Alabama,” said NLGA Associate Director Mike Conway. Between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2009, twenty‐two (22) gubernatorial successions occurred. That tally includes the “Five‐Governors‐in‐a‐Day” experience in New Jersey as one succession. Between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 1999, nine (9) gubernatorial successions occurred. The research is posted in its entirety at www.nlga.us. # # # # NLGA is the only association serving all state and territorial officials who are first in line of gubernatorial succession.
