                       Friday, December 11, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Steve Chapman for being recognized by the Des Moines 
Business Record as this year's Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser. For 
over 20 years Steve has been relied upon in the greater Des Moines 
metropolitan area as a trusted and effective fundraising leader.
  Among the many diverse contributions Steve has made to the Des Moines 
metro area, his fundraising acumen has been exceptionally influential. 
In dedicating his time and talent Steve has successfully fundraised for 
organizations like ChildServe, Yes for Valley, Boy Scouts of America, 
Easter Seals, and the American Heart Association, to name a few.
  Steve has also played a key role in a number of important Des Moines 
initiatives, including the passage of the Polk County local option 
sales tax. His willingness to serve and work on the behalf of others is 
a testament to his character.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I recognize Steve today. It 
is Iowans like Steve that make me proud to be an Iowan and represent 
our great state. I ask that my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Steve for this outstanding 
accomplishment and in wishing him nothing but continued success.
