Sen. Zimmer introduces visiting daughter; senators announce caucus locations
Summary
Senator Zimmer introduced his daughter Erin on the Senate floor; senators announced caucus locations and times, including a Republican caucus in Room 22 at 09:30 and at least one Democratic caucus location referenced (Room 24), with a later announcement also referencing Room 20.
The chair recognized the senator from Clinton, Senator Zimmer, who asked members to welcome his oldest daughter, Erin, visiting on spring break. "Colleagues, please welcome my oldest daughter, Erin, is here on spring break from her school," Senator Zimmer said, and the chair welcomed her to the Iowa Senate.
Following introductions, the chair recognized other senators for brief announcements. The senator from Johnson, Senator Weiner, announced on the floor, "Democrats will caucus in Room 24." The senator from Winneshiek, Senator Clemish, announced that "Senate Republicans will caucus in Room 22 at 09:30." Shortly thereafter a further announcement stated, "Democratic caucus immediately in Room 20." The transcript does not clearly identify the speaker for that last line, creating an inconsistency in the recorded caucus locations.
The chair subsequently stated that the Senate would be at ease for members to caucus. The record shows multiple on-the-floor scheduling announcements but does not include any roll-call votes or formal motions tied to these items.
