TRIBUTE TO DANIEL UMEMEZIE

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 99 (Thursday, June 11, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 99 (Thursday, June 11, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S2741] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO DANIEL UMEMEZIE Mr. GRASSLEY. I want to honor a young Iowan, so I am here to recognize Daniel Umemezie, who was recently named the 10th National Youth Poet Laureate. Daniel is a recent graduate of Cedar Falls High School, Cedar Falls, IA. That is 10 miles from my farm. Daniel is already a master of poetry. Last year, he was named Iowa's Student Poet Ambassador. This year, he was named the 10th National Youth Poet Laureate. This makes him the first Iowan to receive this prestigious award in poetry. Daniel's poetry uses his childhood growing up in Nigeria as inspiration for his work. I want to congratulate Daniel on this achievement. Daniel, you are making the State of Iowa proud. ____________________
