RECOGNIZING BEN KUETER
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from
Iowa (Mrs. Miller-Meeks) for 5 minutes.
Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the
accomplishments of an incredible student athlete from Iowa's Second
District.
Iowa City High School's Ben Kueter is a local legend in eastern Iowa.
He is a four-sport star for the Little Hawks, dominating in football,
wrestling, baseball, and track.
I have recognized Ben on the floor of the House twice already, as he
is a dominant wrestler, a three-time State champion, and currently
holds a 72-0 record going into his senior year.
Recently, Ben not only earned a spot on the Team USA U20 national
wrestling team and will now represent the United States at the world
championships in Bulgaria this summer.
Ben is an outstanding outfielder for Iowa City's baseball team and
ran the second leg of the distance medley relay team that took second
place at the 2021 Drake Relays. A standout football player, Ben plays
both tight end and linebacker. Last fall, Ben committed to both
football and wrestling programs at the University of Iowa.
I look forward to watching Ben help the Little Hawks win State
championships next year and helping our beloved Hawkeyes when he heads
down College Street next year.
Good luck, Ben. Go Little Hawks and Go Hawkeyes.
Recognizing Lisa Hoerschelmann
Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the feats
of Lisa Hoerschelmann.
Lisa has been an employee of First Gateway Credit Union for over 10
years and has always gone above and beyond in customer service and
ensuring that customers receive the best service and advice for their
accounts.
Lisa's commitment to customer service paid off when an elderly woman
was influenced by a scammer to withdraw a large sum of money from her
retirement fund. Thankfully, Lisa caught the scam and prevented the
scam from occurring.
Because of Lisa's commitment to looking out for her customers, she
was awarded the Consumer Protection Hero Award from the Iowa State
Government.
I can think of no one more deserving of this award than Lisa. Her
attentiveness and quick thinking protected a member of her credit
union. I am thankful that there are hardworking and thoughtful people
like Lisa looking out for the citizens of our community.
