“I rise today to recognize Georgia Clark, a student from West Liberty, Iowa, who represented our State with pride and excellence at the 2025 National Civics Bee. Competing against top middle schoolers from across the country, Georgia placed in the top ten, a tremendous achievement. Held in Washington, D.C., on Veterans Day, the National Civics Bee celebrates civic knowledge and encourages young Americans to engage with their communities and understand their government. Georgia was 1 of only 39 State champions invited to participate, representing the West Liberty community school district. Georgia's dedication, leadership, and love of learning reflect the best of Iowa's youth. Her passion for civic engagement and understanding of our Nation's founding principles are truly inspiring. I thank Georgia for her commitment to excellence and for stepping up as a young leader with ideas that will strengthen our community and our country. Her achievement makes all of Iowa proud.”
