D.C. Dispatch: New speaker, community college grants and eliminating food waste – Iowa Capital Dispatch
Members of Iowa’s congressional delegation spent the week sending multiple letters to federal agencies and releasing statements on the new U.S. House speaker and expressions of support for Israel.
Check out what Iowa’s delegates were up to this week:
Representatives congratulate new speaker
After sitting speakerless for three weeks, the House on Wednesday elected Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana to serve as the chamber’s top leader.
Iowa’s representatives, all of whom voted for Johnson, reacted to the news on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing relief and sharing congratulations.
“[Johnson] has united our Conference around a plan to advance our conservative agenda by moving single-subject appropriations bills, supporting Israel, securing the border and continuing serious oversight of the Biden Administration,” Rep. Ashley Hinson said in a news release.
Hinson called the gap without a speaker inexcusable. “The recent chaos and dysfunction is inexcusable, but it is time to move forward and focus on our legislative agenda. If there is a silver lining to the past few weeks, it is the thoughtful ideas put forward by Speaker candidates to help Washington work better for the Americans we are lucky to serve.”
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks congratulated Johnson and, in the same X post, voiced support for the first piece of legislation with the new speaker.

— Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D. (@RepMMM) October 25, 2023
“Speaker Mike Johnson is a humble servant leader that I trust to carefully guide our Republican Conference,” Miller-Meeks said in a news release. “Now it’s time resume our efforts to fortify our border, keep parents involved in educational decisions, make meaningful steps towards energy independence, regain global leadership over China, affirm our support for Israel and most importantly continue to work for the American people.”
Rep. Randy Feenstra said he was proud to vote for Johnson. “Mike is a strong conservative who will guide our Republican majority and support our work to hold the Biden administration accountable, rebuild our economy, secure our border and stand up to China,” Feenstra said in a news release.
Rep. Zach Nunn said the American people deserve better than the way Washington has been operating and said he has been fighting to restore sanity.
“The made-for-TV chaos engulfing Washington, D.C. recently is partisan politics at its absolute worst,” Nunn said in a news release. “We are elected to serve the people, but instead, some are more focused on getting their five minutes of fame. The American people deserve better. That’s why I’ve been fighting to restore sanity, forcing our nation’s capital to operate with the more pragmatic and commonsense approach we know in Iowa. That mission is far from over, but with today’s vote, it’s time to double down on the necessary work to address the most pressing needs facing our country.”
Nunn briefly congratulated Johnson on X:
Congrats Speaker @MikeJohnson!
Now let’s get to work! 💪🏻

Farm Bill a “critical agenda item”
Iowa’s representatives all joined a letter addressed to Johnson, a day after he was named speaker, calling for the farm bill’s swift passage.
A letter with 60 signatures, including the four Iowans, called the farm bill a critical agenda item that must be addressed by the current Congress. “We urge you and the Conference at-large to be united in ensuring swift passage of a strong Farm Bill that is written by farmers, for farmers, and by rural communities, for rural communities – supporting the farm, ranch, and forester families we represent,” the letter stated.
Community colleges to receive trucking grants
Nearly $500,000 in federal funds will be disbursed to three Iowa community colleges to assist motor vehicle operations programs.
The three institutions, Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, Des Moines Area Community College and Eastern Iowa Community Colleges in Davenport, will receive money allocated as a result of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The law passed in 2021 with Sen. Chuck Grassley voting for it, and Sen. Joni Ernst voting against. In the House, former Rep. Cindy Axne voted for the bill and Miller-Meeks, Feenstra and Hinson voted against it.
Hawkeye Community College will receive $200,000, Des Moines Area Community College will receive $196,000 and Eastern Iowa Community Colleges will receive $80,460.
“Our community colleges have stepped up by establishing programs that equip Iowans with tools to pursue their career goals and help businesses bolster their rosters,” Grassley said in a news release. “This funding will provide these three colleges needed resources to maintain and grow their CDL training offerings.”
Grassley initiative aims to avert food waste
With bipartisan support, Grassley introduced legislation intended to prevent and reduce food waste.
Citing environmental impacts, cost and wasted agricultural production, Grassley introduced the Reduce Food Loss and Waste Act to establish a U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Loss and Waste Reduction Certification.
The certification would be awarded to organizations and businesses who voluntarily meet criteria established by the department.
The program to award the certificate must aim to reduce food waste, increase donations of excess food to nonprofits and increase the use of alternative disposal methods for food, according to the bill’s text.
“Through the work of the Iowa Waste Reduction Center housed at the University of Northern Iowa, I’ve seen firsthand the economic and environmental benefits that come from reducing food waste,” Grassley said in a news release. “Our bill would help cut back on food waste by recognizing businesses for using excess food responsibly and incentivizing others to improve their practices.”
Israel remarks
Iowa’s delegates continue to condemn Hamas’ attacks on Israel and support Israel, with Feenstra calling the attacks “reprehensible,” Hinson calling pro-Hamas rallies “disturbing” and two letters sent to federal departments on the topic.
Ernst and Grassley signed on to a letter sent to the Department of Education, calling for the department to live up to obligations set by the department this spring, when it ran an antisemitism awareness campaign.
The letter ask the department to protect Jewish students at universities and colleges and mentions reported behaviors targeting Jewish students occurring since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.
“There have been dozens of targeted attacks on American college campuses since October 7, including reported vandalism, arson and even professors taking discriminatory actions in their classroom toward their students, based on the student’s status as a member of a protected class,” the letter reads.
The letter goes on to mention reported instances at Drexel University, Georgia Tech, Stanford University and the University of California Davis where Jewish students were targeted.
In a news release from her office, Hinson condemned antisemitic attacks occurring in Iowa, and nationwide.
“It has been disturbing to witness pro-Hamas demonstrations across the United States, and even in Cedar Rapids, following Hamas’s horrific terrorist attacks on Israel,” Hinson said in a news release. “We must call out anti-Semitism in every form and I condemn the recent rise in blatant anti-Semitic rhetoric – whether it is in the halls of Congress, at pro-Hamas rallies, or from student groups at elite universities.”
Hinson, Miller-Meeks and Feesntra joined a letter to the Department of Justice, calling for equal application for the law, saying “we want to know what steps are being taken by the Department of Justice to investigate Hamas supporters in the United States, as well as the perpetrators of anti-Semitic violence in cities and school campuses across the nation.”
Ernst awarded for Second Amendment support
A gun-rights lobbying and activism organization named Ernst the legislator of the year, calling her a “stand out champion on Second Amendment issues.”
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Chairman Alan Gottlieb called Ernst a “Capitol Hill leader,” and said Iowans can be proud of her work. “The environment for gun owners under the current administration has required politicians to stand up for honest gun owners, but Sen. Ernst has become a ‘stand out’ champion on Second Amendment issues.”
Ernst said as a veteran, she feels the Second Amendment is personal.
“As a veteran, standing up for Iowans’ Second Amendment rights is personal to me,” said Ernst said in a news release. “…Our Constitutionally-protected rights are non negotiable – I’ll always work to ensure Iowans can continue protecting their families and communities.”
Ernst bill on ‘boondoggles’ advances
A bill requiring public disclosure of public projects that are over budget or behind schedule has advanced to the Senate floor.
Ernst’s Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act would require taxpayer-funded projects more than $1 billion over budget, to be disclosed to the public, including why the project is over budget.
Additionally, if a project is more than five years behind schedule, the reason must be publicly disclosed.
Grassley raises retail crime awareness
Grassley, along with another Republican and three Democrats, hosted a press conference Thursday to raise awareness of the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act.
Organized retail crime hurts employees+consumers +retailers & cost Iowa biz over $1 BILLION in losses in 1YR This is happening nationwide & Im leading a bill 2 stop it Thx 2 Sen Cortez Masto+ House cosponsors+ National Retail Federation 4 joining press conf 2day to talk abt it pic.twitter.com/KzyKF96Pk6
— Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) October 26, 2023
The bipartisan bill aims to create a multi-agency response to organized retail crime.
According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, retail theft in Iowa amounted to more than $1 billion in lost product costs in 2021, increased insurance costs, increased price of goods and more monetary costs, but there is more to it, Grassley said.
“But you also have to recognize not just the theft, but the danger to the employees, the cost to the consumers and then the impact upon the individual retailers,” he said in a statement.
The bill would allow for federal judges to order criminal forfeiture after convictions for charges related to organized retail theft. The bill also would create the Center to Combat Organized Retail Crime, which would include representatives from various government agencies.
Fertilizer tariffs too high, delegates say
Ernst, Grassley, Nunn and Miller-Meeks asked the Department of Commerce to reduce countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizers imported from Morocco.
In the bipartisan letter, the four Iowa lawmakers, along with 35 other members of Congress, stated that “the countervailing duty order on Moroccan exports and magnitude places U.S. farmers at a competitive disadvantage.”
On X, Grassley said farmers cannot afford tariffs.
The countervailing duties present an undue burden on farmers, and as a result of the increased costs, imports from Morocco have decreased, according to Grassley’s office.
Grassley’s office an ‘incubator’ for marriages
Grassley recently attended a wedding of two of his former staffers. The significance? The marriage marked a score of couples who have met in the senior senator’s office and later married.
A bipartisan group in the Senate Judiciary Committee poked fun at the statistic, and one, Sen. Cory Booker, at himself.
A ~lighthearted~ moment in Senate Judiciary this morn:
WHITEHOUSE: Grassley’s office is the hottest spot to get married
KLOBUCHAR: 20 marriages!
GRASSLEY: 😁
BOOKER: I just wanna know, any openings in Grassley’s office?

Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht believes the Cyclones have yet to hit their peak during their best start in 86 years.
Carson Hansen rushed for three scores, Becht threw a touchdown pass and No. 11 Iowa State beat West Virginia 28-16 on Saturday night.
The Cyclones (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) opened the season with six wins for the first time since 1938.
“I feel like we haven’t even played our best game yet as a whole — special teams, defense, and offense,” Becht said. The goal is “finding ways to get better each and every single week, and our mindset is just 0-0 and trying to win that next game.”
Iowa State forged a first-place tie in the league with BYU and idle Texas Tech.
The Cyclones broke open a close game by scoring two touchdowns after intercepting West Virginia’s Garrett Greene in the second half.
Becht found Eli Green on passes of 12 and 34 yards on consecutive plays to set up the Cyclones at the West Virginia 17. A third-down holding call on West Virginia cornerback Ayden Garnes gave Iowa State first-and-goal at the 3, and Hansen scored on the next play for a 21-10 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Jontez Williams made his third interception of the season on West Virginia’s next drive, and Iowa State took over at the Mountaineers’ 34. Hansen ran for 20 yards on the ensuing drive, capped by his 2-yard scoring run for a 28-10 lead with 4:42 left.
Hansen, a sophomore who also scored on an 11-yard run in the second quarter, finished with 96 rushing yards, one shy of the career high he set last week against Baylor. He ran for a total of 67 yards during an injury-filled freshman season.
“For him to consistently play the way he has the last couple of weeks, it’s awesome to watch,” Becht said.
West Virginia (3-3, 2-1) was held to 148 rushing yards against the league’s top defense after amassing 389 yards on the ground a week ago at Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers were hurt by several high snaps that threw off their timing and runs parallel to the line of scrimmage that lost yardage.
“In the second half, when it was winning time, we didn’t win,” said West Virginia coach Neal Brown. “We struggled to get into a rhythm.”
Becht completed 18 of 26 passes for 265 yards, including a 60-yard scoring toss to Jaylin Noel in blown coverage in the second quarter.
Becht’s father, Anthony, was honored on the field after the first quarter for his induction into the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. He played tight end for the Mountaineers from 1996-99 and 11 seasons in the NFL.
“You couldn’t ask for a greater night for his family,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.
Rocco Becht said he wished he could have been there with his dad, “but I had bigger things going on trying to win this game.”
Jahiem White had an 8-yard scoring run and a 10-yard TD catch for West Virginia. Greene finished 18 of 32 for 206 yards.
Iowa State: The Cyclones answered the challenge on both sides of the ball in winning their seventh straight road game. Becht played smart and efficient, and the nation’s sixth-best scoring defense was stout again.
West Virginia: The Mountaineers many too many mistakes at key times and now have lost eight consecutive games to ranked opponents.
Iowa State might have a tough time moving up when the AP poll comes out on Sunday. The Cyclones were tied at No. 11 with Notre Dame, which beat Stanford 49-7.
Iowa State: Hosts UCF on Saturday night.
West Virginia: Hosts No. 18 Kansas State on Saturday night.

Iowa football isn’t always pretty, but because of Kirk Ferentz, it has punched above its weight class
IOWA CITY, Iowa — In unseasonably warm air and beneath a blueish haze over Kinnick Stadium, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz took a moment to himself with two minutes left and his team wrapping up a 40-16 win against Washington.
Ferentz stood apart from his team on the sideline with his headset on as his offense huddled during the media timeout. On the video board, his picture appeared. Public address announcer Mark Abbott relayed that Ferentz was about to win his 200th game as Iowa’s head coach, passing Amos Alonzo Stagg for second in Big Ten history. The crowd stood and applauded, and Ferentz acknowledged them with a wave.
GO DEEPER
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz earns 200th career win as Big Ten coach
Tight end Luke Lachey gave him a hug, as did running back Kaleb Johnson. Backup quarterback Marco Lainez III shook his hand. With 33 seconds left, Ferentz walked to the TigerHawk at midfield, shook hands with Washington counterpart Jedd Fisch and completed an interview with Fox Sports. More subdued than emotional, Ferentz jogged off the playing surface, up the tunnel and into Iowa’s locker room where his players welcomed him with a water bottle shower.
Sunshine and 70-degree days — literally or figuratively — rarely have followed Ferentz into October in his coaching career, so the picturesque autumn setting was abnormal for college football’s longest-tenured coach. However, how Ferentz and the Hawkeyes responded to a 35-7 loss to Ohio State last week went entirely by script.
There are two defining characteristics through the highs and lows of Ferentz’s 26 years at Iowa: One, his players trust him and believe in him. The other truth is, no football coach — thus, no program — responds better to adversity than Ferentz and his Hawkeyes.
Ferentz’s entire career has revolved around continual improvement. And Iowa has gone very far following Ferentz’s ethos.
“He’s the same person every day,” said left tackle Mason Richman, who is in his fifth season. “He brings the same exact energies. You know exactly what to expect from him, no matter what the scoreboard says.”
Iowa rarely recruits five-star players and mostly signs three-star prospects. Only once in his career did Iowa finish in the top 15 in national recruiting, and that was in 2005. The Hawkeyes are a low-offer program because they heavily research character in recruiting. They want high achievers with good grades who were team captains in multiple sports. To Ferentz and his staff, those players invest themselves and improve others.
“I feel like we recruit the type of the right type of guys,” Iowa linebacker Jay Higgins said. “We just don’t have selfish guys in the locker room. So when you have good guys who understand what a team should look like, and then you also have a good leader, it’s easy to stand together. I just think this team, this program, anytime there’s adversity, we only get closer.”
Those types of players are built to handle challenges, and Iowa continues to have the right coach to navigate them through it. The examples in Ferentz’s era abound.
• In 2016, the Hawkeyes gave up 599 yards in a 41-14 massacre at eventual Big Ten champion Penn State. As a three-touchdown home underdog to No. 2 Michigan the following week, Iowa bounced back with a stunning 14-13 upset.
• Sitting at the midpoint of the 2008 season, Iowa was 15-16 over 2 1/2 seasons. Ferentz never wavered, and neither did his team. The Hawkeyes won their final four games to end that season, and then their first nine in 2009. They finished with their highest final ranking (No. 7) since 1960.
• In 2014, Iowa continued a slope of mediocrity by losing all four rivalry trophy games and finishing 7-6. The next year, dubbed “New Kirk,” Ferentz switched practices from afternoon to morning and became much more open in the public. The players responded in 2015 with a spirit of togetherness, leading to a school-record 12 wins. From that year onward, Iowa ranks tied for 10th among power-conference teams in victories.
• Two years ago, Iowa’s offense was among the nation’s worst in every category. After a 7-3 season-opening win against South Dakota State in which the Hawkeyes scored on two safeties and a field goal, linebacker Jack Campbell shot down any question that dealt with division. Campbell’s attitude set the tone for that season and it carried over to 2023, in which Iowa’s offense posted the Big Ten’s worst statistical numbers in nearly 40 years. Yet there was no sniping, let alone dissension. The team eventually claimed the Big Ten West Division crown.
• In 2004, Iowa started 2-2, including a 44-7 loss at Arizona State. Despite losing four scholarship running backs to injury, the Hawkeyes held it together with defense mixed with an occasional highlight-reel play. The Hawkeyes won their final eight games, claimed a share of the Big Ten title and won the Capital One Bowl with a 56-yard touchdown pass on the game’s final play.
That 2004 team was honored Saturday before the second quarter to rousing applause. One of its stars, defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux, was Iowa’s honorary captain on Saturday. It was a team molded by adversity, and it charted an unconventional path of success. It even took a safety midway through the fourth quarter against Penn State in a 6-4 win. Ferentz gave the eulogy at his father’s funeral in Pittsburgh the day before that game.
Most teams would have crumbled in any of those situations, but Iowa never did.
Why? Ferentz.
“It’s definitely his leadership,” Higgins said. “He truly only cares about the guys in the locker room. When you’ve got a guy like that thinking you’re able to respond, it’s nice. He’s not gonna freak out. Doesn’t matter what the headline is. He’s not gonna come to the meeting room and read off the headlines. He keeps his voice, and we all respond off him. If he’s calm and he knows that we need to respond after a bad game or a tough situation, we’re all going to follow that.”
None of those anecdotes mean Ferentz is perfect. Far from it. Critiques are plentiful about his son, Brian, running his offense for seven years, especially when the final three were so rough. Brian remained in place until university president Barbara Wilson and athletic director Beth Goetz stepped in and dismissed him following the 2023 season. Other complaints about Ferentz’s game-day decision making are fair.
And in 2020, dozens of former players accused the program of racial insensitivity and bias, which was confirmed through an independent investigation. Instead of resisting necessary changes or stepping down, Ferentz opted for a new course. He accepted responsibility and sought counsel from former players, relieved longtime strength coach Chris Doyle and extended a leadership council to include more voices. Many arbitrary rules such as not using X or wearing hoodies in the football complex were vacated. Although some feel the changes didn’t go far enough — while others believed they went too far — there’s no doubt the program has become more welcoming to all players. Its attrition rate is among the lowest in the Big Ten, and it has won the third most games in the Big Ten since that season.
With Ferentz’s guidance, Iowa has punched well above its weight class.
Its recruiting rankings are closer to those of Illinois and Purdue than Michigan and Penn State, yet the Hawkeyes’ results are closer to the latter. Iowa finds ways to win where its peers fall short. It’s not always pretty and perhaps it won’t ever win the ultimate prize. But that Iowa remains anywhere near the College Football Playoff rankings most years is a credit to Ferentz.
“I appreciate him how much this program means to him,” Richman said. “When you get an appreciation like that, you’re less stressed out. With him at the helm, this place has a really special place in my heart and the hearts of many across the entire state.”

WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Iowa State is off to its best start since 1980, and a win would make them 6-0 for the first time since 1938. The Cyclones are looking to extend their road winning streak to seven games. West Virginia is going after its third straight win after a 1-2 start. Iowa State and West Virginia are 2-0 in conference play. One of them will forge a first-place tie with idle Texas Tech.
KEY MATCHUP
Iowa State’s defense vs. West Virginia QB Garrett Greene. Of the dual-threat quarterbacks the Cyclones have faced so far, Greene could be the best. He had runs of 39, 15 and 10 yards against Oklahoma State last week and is averaging 5.4 yards per carry and 59 yards per game. Run defense hasn’t been a strength for the Cyclones, who hope to force Greene to try to beat them through the air. Iowa State has the Big 12’s top defense, allowing just 10 points and 272 yards per game.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Iowa State: LB Kooper Ebel has led or co-led the team in tackles in three straight games. He made just three tackles in eight games as a freshman last year. He added 15 pounds to get up to 240 on his 6-foot-4 frame and has made at least six stops in all five games. Last week he had eight tackles and a quarterback hurry against Baylor.
West Virginia: RB Jahiem White. The sophomore ran for a season-high 158 yards in the lopsided win at Oklahoma State and the Mountaineers compiled 389 on the ground. White hopes to be back on track after being limited to 94 yards combined against No. 4 Penn State, No. 22 Pittsburgh and Kansas.
FACTS & FIGURES
Anthony Becht, a tight end for the Mountaineers from 1996 to 1999, will be honored during the game for his induction into the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. His son, Rocco, is Iowa State’s quarterback. … The Cyclones have won 12 straight when scoring at least 30 points. They’ve scored at least 30 in the last five meetings with WVU. … ISU had nine plays of 20 or more yards against Baylor last week, tied for the most by a Power Four team against a conference opponent this season. … The Cyclones’ defense gets better as the game progresses. They’re allowing an average of 4.0 points and 112 yards in the second halves. … West Virginia will wear all-black uniforms in honor of the state’s coal mining industry.
