                        Tuesday, April 12, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ben Buenzow for being named a 2016 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 that 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 honor based on 
a combined criteria of community involvement and success in their 
chosen career field. The 2016 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 640 business leaders and growing.
  As an agent/owner at the Ben Buenzow State Farm Agency, Ben works 
tirelessly to provide top of the line customer service each and every 
day so that they can live worry free and know that their money is in 
good hands. Civically, Ben is one of the most dedicated individuals you 
will find. He is involved in a number of organizations throughout his 
community including serving as the director at large for the Urbandale 
Chamber of Commerce, the founding chairperson of the genYP Young 
Professionals group in Urbandale and co-chair of the Urbandale Police 
Department National Night Out event. He is driven by his passion for 
helping others and doing all he can to improve his community.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Ben in 
the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize 
and applaud him for utilizing his talents to better both his community 
and the great state of Iowa. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Ben on 
receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record 
for their great work, and wishing each member of the 2016 Forty Under 
40 class a long and successful career.
