                       Wednesday, March 13, 2013

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Dennis McDaniel for being named a 2013 Forty Under 40 honoree by the 
award-winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
   Since 2000, Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of young leaders in the Greater Des 
Moines area who are making an impact in their communities and their 
careers. Each year, forty up-and-coming community and business leaders 
under 40 years of age are selected for this prestigious distinction, 
which is based on a combined criteria of community involvement and 
success in their chosen career field. The 2013 class of Forty Under 40 
honorees join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.
   In 2003, Dennis McDaniel joined the Windsor Heights Police 
Department as a police officer. Today, he is a law enforcement veteran 
who has ascended the rank of Windsor Heights' Chief of Police. In this 
role, which he has held since 2010, Mr. McDaniel has revolutionized his 
department's operations and actively made his community a safer place, 
developing a volunteer police reserve program and implementing a 
variety of technological and goal-based tools in his department's 
divisions. From serving as chairman for the Central Iowa Traffic Safety 
Task Force to teaching Rape Aggression Defense programs to the women of 
Greater Des Moines, Dennis has demonstrated a clear commitment to 
providing

leadership and marked improvement to his community. In all facets of 
his life, Dennis is an example of service and hard work that our state 
can be proud of.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Dennis 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Mr. McDaniel for utilizing his talents to better 
both his community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues 
in the House to join me in congratulating Dennis on receiving this 
esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great 
work, and wishing each member of the 2013 Forty Under 40 class 
continued success.
