                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 4, 2010

  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise to thank Iowa State Senator 
Roger Stewart for his service to Iowa and our country. Senator Stewart 
is retiring from the Iowa State Senate at the end of the 2010 state 
legislative session.
  Senator Stewart has represented Dubuque, Jackson, and Clinton County 
in the Iowa legislature for the past eight years. He has been a 
principled, pragmatic leader. Communities throughout Iowa have 
benefited from his commitment to responsible economic development and 
common sense business practices. Senator Stewart is chair of the 
Economic Growth Committee and a member of the Ways and Means Committee. 
He serves on the Rebuild Iowa Committee which is creating conditions 
for sustainable development in communities damaged during the 2008 
Midwest floods and tornados.
  Senator Stewart has also been an effective advocate for Iowa farmers 
and agribusinesses. He has received several awards for his work on 
agriculture issues including the Chamber Friends of Agriculture Award 
and the National Banking Award for work during the 1980's farm crisis.
  Madam Speaker, the Hawkeye State is fortunate to have great leaders 
like Roger Stewart. Please join me in thanking the Senator, his wife 
Jennie, and the entire Stewart family.

                          ____________________
