FORT MADISON, Iowa – Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) has introduced legislation to rename the U.S. Post Office located at 1019 Avenue H in Fort Madison as the “Martin L. Graber Post Office.” The bill pays tribute to the late Iowa State Representative Martin Graber, a dedicated public servant, 32-year Iowa Army National Guard veteran, and a respected leader throughout southeast Iowa.
Miller-Meeks is joined by fellow Iowa Representatives Ashley Hinson (IA-02) and Randy Feenstra (IA-04) in leading the legislative effort.
“Martin Graber embodied the very best of Iowa: faith, family, and service,” said Rep. Miller-Meeks. “He was a patriot, a leader, and a constant source of strength for Fort Madison and all of southeast Iowa. 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.”
Graber served multiple terms in the Iowa House of Representatives and held the rank of Brigadier General in the Iowa Army National Guard. His leadership and commitment spanned both military and civic service, earning him admiration across party lines and communities.
The bill now awaits consideration in the U.S. House of Representatives. If passed, the official renaming would serve as a lasting reminder of Martin Graber’s lifetime of dedication to his country, his state, and his community.
