                      Thursday, February 16, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Tim Albrecht for being named a 2017 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 2017 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 680 past business leaders and growing.
  Tim is known for his solid reputation, strong work ethic and positive 
attitude. After years of honing his craft on numerous political 
campaigns, and four years serving as Communications Director to 
Governor Terry Branstad, Tim set out on his own in 2016 to establish 
Albrecht Public Relations. Additionally, Tim is a partner and co-
founder of the bipartisan polling firm RABA Research. Tim lives in West 
Des Moines with his wife Josie, 31/2-year-old son Davis, and baby 
daughter Avery.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Tim 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 Tim on 
receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record 
for their great work, and wishing each member of the 2017 Forty Under 
40 class a long and successful career.
