The Governor of Iowa is the chief executive of the U.S. state of Iowa. The Governor is the head of the executive branch of Iowa's state government[2] and is charged with enforcing state laws.[3] The Governor has the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Iowa General Assembly,[4] to convene the legislature,[5] and to grant pardons, except in cases of treason and impeachment.[6] The Governor is also the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces.[7]


There have been 41 individuals who held the position of Iowa Governor, including the current Governor and first woman to hold the position, Kim Reynolds, who was sworn in on May 24, 2017. The longest-serving Governor is Terry Branstad, who served from 1983 to 1999, and then again from 2011 to 2017. He is the longest-serving Governor in U.S. history, surpassing the previous record of 21 years set by George Clinton of New York. The shortest-serving Governor was Robert D. Fulton, who served 16 days.
