                       Tuesday, September 6, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Ruth Randleman, community leader and Mayor of Carlisle, Iowa 
for being named a 2016 Women of Influence honoree by the award-winning 
central Iowa publication, Business Record.
  For 17 years, the Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of women who have made a 
significant difference in business, civic and philanthropic endeavors 
throughout the Greater Des Moines Area. Ms. Randleman has devoted her 
life to confronting challenges which many others might avoid. She has 
spent countless hours on various boards while blazing a trail for 
others to follow. She was selected for the chosen field of expertise, 
the lasting impact on the community, involvement with civic or non-
profit organization and being seen as a role model because of her lofty 
achievements and high ethical standards.
  Ruth Randleman has the determination and drive to be successful in 
anything she does and her exemplary work with her leadership for the 
city of Carlisle where she has been active on the City Council for 16 
years. She serves on many area boards and commissions including past 
service as president of the Iowa League of Cities and the Warren County 
(Iowa) Economic Development Corporation. In all aspects of her life, 
Ruth Randleman is an example of hard work and service who makes Iowans 
proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Ruth 
Randleman in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that 
I recognize and applaud her for utilizing her talents to better both 
her community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues in 
the House to join me in congratulating Ruth Randleman on receiving this 
esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great 
work, and wishing Ms. Randleman a long and successful career.
