Gross says his Lieutenant Governor would oversee an agency

June 7, 2002 By admin

Doug Gross, the republican candidate for Governor, says his running mate won’t be just “window dressing.” Candidates for Governor choose a Lieutenant Governor “running mate” in the same way the President chooses a Vice President, and picking a political partner will be one of Gross’ first acts as the G-O-P nominee.In a shot at Governor Tom Vilsack’s Lieutenant Governor Sally Pederson, Gross says the state doesn’t have enough resources to have a highly-paid Lieutenant Governor who acts as a “co-Governor” and makes appearances at events.Gross says his Lieutenant Governor will be capable of running a state agency or a significant state program. Gross says he doesn’t have a narrowed-down list of potential candidates yet.Gross made his comments on an Iowa Public Television program that airs at 6:30 tonight.
