                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Linda Carter-Lewis, a civil rights activist and community 
volunteer, for being named a 2018 Women of Influence honoree by the 
award-winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
  For 19 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 endeavours 
throughout the Greater Des Moines Area.
  Linda served as president of her local NAACP chapter for eight years 
from 2002 to 2010. As stated by Business Record, Carter-Lewis gets her 
motivation to continue to serve from the need she sees in so many parts 
of her community. This passion prevents her from retiring and she 
continues to serve on the Des Moines Civil Service Commission.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Linda 
Carter-Lewis 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 Linda on receiving this esteemed designation, 
thanking those at Business Record for their great work, and wishing Ms. 
Linda Carter-Lewis the very best.
