Today, on Women Veterans Recognition Day, we honor the Iowa women whose service, leadership, and sacrifice have helped strengthen our military and our nation.

Through our Honor a Veteran program, we're proud to help preserve and share the stories of Iowa veterans so future generations can learn from their service.
Women have served our country throughout American history, and today is an opportunity to recognize their contributions and ensure their stories are remembered.

When we launched Iowa Businesses Against Trafficking, our goal was simple: prepare Iowa businesses with the tools to recognize the signs of human trafficking and know how to respond.

Today, I am proud to share that more than 1,000 Iowa businesses and organizations have joined that effort and committed to learning something and doing something about human trafficking.

Thank you to every business that has joined IBAT and helped us reach this milestone. If your business is not yet a member, I invite you to join us today at ibat.iowa.gov.

Mulholland Grocery first opened in 1875. Fourth-generation owner Tom Mulholland bought the store back into the family after working in Omaha for 20 years. When a tragic fire burned the store to the ground in December 2021, Tom decided to rebuild, even using his own retirement funds to finance the project at one point.

Three years later, Mulholland Grocery opened its doors again to the Malvern community. Oscar-winning director Rayka Zehtabchi filmed an acclaimed documentary about the rebuild called “They Came From All Over,” which is linked on the store’s website.

Founded by Chad and Amy Ray in 2025, the Brewtique is a coffee shop and boutique designed to be more than just a place to grab coffee. Chad and Amy transformed Smith’s Quality Rental into the Brewtique after Amy’s father, Gary Smith, passed away last year. The building has been in Amy’s family for over 50 years.

The Brewtique offers lattes, Lotus energy drinks, and trendy boutique items in a cozy atmosphere where people can relax, shop, and catch up with friends. Amy’s favorite part of owning the shop is seeing which items people connect most with and what makes them smile.

Follow The Brewtique for more information.

I join my colleagues in mourning the passing of State Senator Julian Garrett. Senator Garrett dedicated many years to serving Iowa with dignity and an unwavering commitment to his values. I am keeping his friends and family in my prayers during this time of loss.

Our most recent 60 second Secretary was quick to make some important phone calls. Thanks for visiting the office buddy!
