                     TRIBUTE TO MAYOR SARA KUROVSKI

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Sara Kurovski, Mayor of Pleasant Hill, for being named the 
2015 Meredith Woman of Influence honoree by the award-winning central 
Iowa publication, the Des Moines Business Record.
  Since 2000, the Des Moines Business Record has undertaken an 
exhaustive annual review to identify a group of standout female leaders 
in the Greater Des Moines Area that are making an impact in their 
communities either personally or professionally, forging a path for 
other women to follow. The women given this prestigious award are 
individuals who have selflessly dedicated their time and proven their 
leadership abilities across a variety of professional fields.
  Mayor Kurovski's passion for public service began when she attended 
Drake University and received her Master's degree in public 
administration. Since graduation she has dedicated her time and talents 
to serving others and improving her community.
  Elected in 2013 as Mayor of Pleasant Hill, she has worked tirelessly 
to improve her community. Mayor Kurovski initially was involved in a 
number of boards for the city of Pleasant Hill, where her passion for 
public service and improving the lives of others grew. But running the 
city of Pleasant Hill is only one aspect of her life, and her work does 
not stop there. She also works for Iowa based Kum & Go as their manager 
of sustainability. I admire her dedication to the State of Iowa and 
believe it is hard working people like Mayor Kurovski that will lead 
our future generations.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Mayor 
Kurovski in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that 
I recognize and applaud her for utilizing her talents to better the 
State of Iowa. I invite my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating her on receiving this 
esteemed designation, and wishing her the best of luck in all her 
future endeavors.
