  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
recognize Mike Taylor for being named a 2015 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 2015 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.
  Mike has the determination and drive to be successful in all of his 
pursuits, which is highlighted by his exemplary work at Midwest Growth 
Partner. As Managing Partner, Mike works with others to make solid 
investments and avoid risk. Mike spends his free time serving others by 
volunteering as a youth football coach at the local YMCA. Mike's 
outstanding work ethic and dedication to service, both professionally 
and personally, makes our state proud.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Mike 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 invite my colleagues in the House to 
join me in congratulating Mike on receiving this esteemed designation, 
thanking those at Business Record for their great work, and wishing 
each member of the 2015 Forty Under 40 class a long and successful 
career.
