Dolecheck of Ringgold seconded the nomination of Representative
Carroll as Speaker pro tempore for the House of Representatives,
preceding his nomination with the following remarks:
I have had the privilege of working closely with Representative Carroll over the last
six years in the Iowa Legislature. I have served with him on the education committee
where we have tackled many sensitive issues. Representative Carroll has handled the
issues with integrity and with great respect for all individuals involved in the debate. I
know as Speaker pro tempore, Danny will continue to treat his colleagues with this
same respect, honesty, and integrity, without compromising the values for which he
stands. It is this quality that I have come to admire most in Representative Carroll. I
am very proud to second his nomination for Speaker pro tempore.
