Axne Launches “Iowan of the Week” Congressional Honor

WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) launched a new program to honor Iowans for their hard work and contributions to their communities by submitting them to Congress as “Iowan of the Week.”

“One of my favorite parts of representing Iowa’s Third Congressional District in Congress is the opportunity I have to celebrate outstanding and often unsung Iowans for their work to help improve Iowa,” said Rep. Axne. “Each Iowan of the Week will be recognized for helping their neighbors and making Iowa better by enshrining their contributions in the Congressional Record for future generations to see.”

Each week, Rep. Axne will submit a statement to the Congressional Record on the unsung Iowan, detailing their work and efforts to make Iowa better and help improve the lives of others.

“If you have someone you think deserves to be Iowan of the Week, please write to my office to nominate them,” said Rep. Axne. “I look forward to reading your submissions and learning more about our neighbors who have helped their fellow Iowan.”

The text of the honor will also be available on Rep. Axne’s social media accounts and on her website.
