  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Katie Patterson for being named an Innovation Iowa--Women 
of Innovation award winner in 2015.
  In November, the Technology Association of Iowa honored 10 Iowa women 
with innovation awards. This is an award that elevates and celebrates 
today's extraordinary women and recognizes women who are leaders in 
science, technology, engineering, and math. Katie was recognized as a 
Rising Star. She is the founder of Happy Medium, a digital media and 
advertising agency.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent leaders like Katie in the 
United States Congress and it is with great pride that I congratulate 
her for utilizing her talents to better both the community of Des 
Moines and the state of Iowa. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Katie on 
receiving this esteemed designation, and in wishing her nothing but 
continued success.
