Miller-Meeks Introduces Bill to Rename Fort Madison Post Office in Honor of Martin L. Graber

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) introduced legislation to rename the U.S. Post Office located at 1019 Avenue H in Fort Madison, Iowa, as the "Martin L. Graber Post Office." The bill honors the life and legacy of the late Iowa State Representative Martin Graber, a dedicated public servant, 32-year Iowa Army National Guard veteran, and beloved leader in southeast Iowa.

Joining Miller-Meeks in leading this bill are Iowa Representatives Ashley Hinson (IA-02) and Randy Feenstra (IA-04).

"Martin Graber embodied the very best of Iowa: faith, family, and service. He was a patriot, a leader, and a constant source of strength for Fort Madison and all of southeast Iowa," said Rep. Miller-Meeks. "Naming this post office in his honor ensures his legacy of service and sacrifice lives on. I’m deeply proud to lead this effort to recognize a man who gave so much to his community and his country."

"I am so proud to support legislation renaming the Fort Madison Post Office after the late Iowa State Representative Martin Graber," said Rep. Ashley Hinson. "His life epitomized patriotism, courage, and self-sacrifice, and I am grateful for his dedicated service to Iowans for so many years. This landmark will forever be remembered in his name and is a testament to his legacy."

"I’m proud to join my colleagues in the Iowa delegation to rename the Fort Madison Post Office in memory of Martin Graber. As a member of the Iowa legislature, he served the families, farmers, and entrepreneurs of Lee County with class and integrity, and as a Brigadier General in the Iowa National Guard, he sacrificed for our state and country," said Rep. Feenstra. "Renaming the Fort Madison Post Office is a small gesture that honors his life of service and commemorates his commitment to Southeast Iowa."
