                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 8, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Jayne Armstrong of West Des Moines, Iowa, for being named 
the Iowa Advocate of the Year by the Iowa Chapter of the National 
Association of Women Business Owners.
  Each year, the Iowa Chapter of the National Association of Women 
Business Owners recognizes women who have greatly contributed to the 
business landscape in the state. Jayne, as District Director of the 
Small Business Administration in Iowa, advocates for small businesses 
as they seek financing, developmental training and counseling to help 
develop and grow. With more women owning small businesses, Jayne is 
front and center, guiding them through the difficult process of 
starting their own business. It is because of Iowans like Jayne I'm 
proud to represent our great state.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Jayne for her commitment to small business 
owners throughout the third district. Her tireless work in advocacy on 
their behalf is crucial in helping Iowa's economy thrive. I ask that my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating Jayne and in wishing her nothing but continued success.
