Senators use floor time to congratulate teams, distribute pins and remind constituents of a special election
Summary
Several senators offered ceremonial remarks and constituent reminders: Sen. Taylor and Sen. Sires congratulated high school basketball teams; Sen. Sweeney offered Irish pins; Sen. Hartman reminded West Des Moines voters about a March 17 runoff.
Senators used part of the March 12 session for brief announcements and community recognitions. Sen. Taylor congratulated multiple high school teams from her district, singled out state champions and thanked "players, coaches, and parents of all these teams." Sen. Sires also lauded local teams and praised sportsmanship after a close championship game.
Sen. Sweeney noted Saint Patrick's Day and offered to hand out Irish pins from his desk. Sen. Hartman urged turnout in West Des Moines for a March 17 special runoff to fill his former city council seat, telling constituents to "get out and make their voices heard." These remarks were ceremonial and no formal legislative action followed.
