ELECTION OF SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE
Hoffman of Crawford placed in nomination the Honorable Danny
Carroll as candidate for Speaker pro tempore of the House of
Representatives of the Eightieth General Assembly, preceding his
nomination with the following remarks:
Thank you Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House.
Today I have the distinct privilege of nominating Representative Danny Carroll to
the position of Speaker pro tempore of the Iowa House of Representatives.
We have many excellent, seasoned legislators in this chamber. This year we have
more new members than we have had in the House in 10 years. New Legislators, you
will be looking for people to be your mentors.
Four years ago I was a new member being sworn in for the first time. I was looking
to the experienced legislators to find those who could be my mentors. I was looking for
people who where intelligent, honest, loyal, and who possessed integrity and high
moral standards. I wanted to find those legislators with whom I could share all of my
concerns. The success I had gained in my life had resulted from exposing myself to
people with these qualities.
A good legislative leader is also a person admired by his party and respected by the
minority party.
Representative Danny Carroll is just such a leader. He was one of my first choices
as a mentor. He is a fair-minded leader- a person who will always listen, evaluate the
pros and cons of an issue, and then lead to the best solution for all of Iowa.
I am proud to have the opportunity to nominate Danny Carroll to the position of
Speaker pro tempore.
