                        Tuesday, August 15, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mary Campos of Des Moines, Iowa, for being inducted into 
the 2017 Class of the Iowa Latino Hall of Fame.
  The enduring qualities of Iowa Latino Hall of Fame Inductees include: 
significant contributions to their respective field of work, impactful 
changes in the social, cultural, economic or political well-being of 
the community, and inspiring others through their efforts. Mary is the 
embodiment of these qualities. She has dedicated her life to uplifting 
others and making sure they have the same opportunities she has had to 
make an impact on her community. She was also the first Latina to be 
appointed to the Iowa Commission on the Status of Women.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent leaders like Mary in the 
United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize her 
today for receiving this esteemed designation. I ask that my colleagues 
in the United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating 
her on receiving this award, and in wishing her nothing but continued 
success.
