As my term comes to an end, I wanted to share some stories from Iowans who have inspired me and where Iowans can find inspiration in their lives. desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/…

Enjoyed sitting down with @JeffAngeloRadio this morning to talk about what Iowans should be watching for in DC over the next couple years. I’ve enjoyed our chats over the past few years!

Proud to have just voted to pass the FIRST STEP Act which is the most comprehensive overhaul of our criminal justice system in decades. A historic bipartisan achievement!

Stopped in to say thanks to the fine folks at @KMABroadcasting in Shenandoah. I’ve enjoyed my weekly conversations over the past four years. Tune in to my final Wednesday morning interview at 8:35 am tomorrow!

It’s a beautiful day in Bedford. Had visits at the pharmacy, city hall, and newspaper this morning after a hearty breakfast at The Junction Cafe.

Hit the HyVee Classic with @ChuckGrassley last night. He mowed down three bags of popcorn and two diet-sodas. Impressive.

It’s time for Mount Ayr Raiderettes basketball!

As a co-founder of the Food Waste Caucus, I was proud to support the creation of a Food Loss and Waste Reduction Liaison at the U.S. Department of Agriculture to assist in meeting the government's goal of reducing food waste by 50 percent by 2030. #IA03

My bill, the WATER Act, was also included in the Farm Bill and will help streamline conservation grant funding and create a publicly accessible conservation database so farmers and conservationists can see what practices work best on different types of soil. #IA03

After months of delays which have left our farmers and producers with uncertainty, we have finally voted to give them certainty to plan for the future. This legislation enhances conservation projects and continues a stable crop insurance program for those who need it #IA03

As we close out this Congress before the end of the year, I will continue to work to secure our border and advance common sense immigration policies #IA03 davidyoung.house.gov/media-center/w…

I've helped to deliver for Iowans by supporting the STOP School Violence Act and this grant to Creston Schools will help the community. #IA03 davidyoung.house.gov/media-center/p…

The Farm Bill could be considered in the House this week. Get important updates and see what else will be voted in The Week Ahead. davidyoung.house.gov/media-center/w…

The Atlantic Cookie Walk as a lot of fun! I spoke with my bosses about the upcoming government funding deadline and the Farm Bill. And I may have had one too many cookies.

Did someone say chocolate? Got some of my Christmas shopping in between stops in Winterset last weekend and these caught my eye. Talked to some folks in town about getting the Farm Bill done this month #IA03

Pleasure to speak to an 8th grade social studies class at Kirn Middle School in Council Bluffs this week. Great Q and A session and talking about the Articles of the Constitution.

It was great to be back at the Milo Christmas Ham Ball Dinner this weekend!

I join so many others in the mourning of his passing, while remembering his earnest words about the importance of America being a kinder and gentler nation. 2/2

President George H.W. Bush defined public service. He selflessly dedicated his entire life to serving our country, and I am thankful for all he has done for the United States. We lost a brave, honest, steadfast, and compassionate statesman. 1/2
