Government

Week four was shortened due to our fellow Representative Martin Graber’s visitation on Monday afternoon and funeral Tuesday morning in Fort Madison. I estimate at least 50 legislators attended, including Governor Reynolds, Attorney General Brenna Bird, and Secretary of Ag Mike Naig.The Iowa House Republicans held discussions about the SSA funding for public schools.

      This week started off on a somber note as many of us mourned the loss of Representative Martin Graber. I served with Martin in the Iowa Army National Guard and the Iowa House of Representatives. He was lifelong public servant, a dedicated husband, father, and friend. He will be greatly missed. The icy weather did cause my week to be cut short, but the time was well spent back in the district.
