Iowa HJR8 proposes replacing a statue of Samuel J. Kirkwood with one of Governor Robert D. Ray in the U.S. Capitol.

Iowa HJR8 seeks to replace the statue of Samuel J. Kirkwood with one honoring former Governor Robert D. Ray in the U.S. Capitol. The bill establishes a seven-member committee, appointed by the governor, to raise funds for the statue exchange. The committee will also commission the creation of the new statue, arrange for its placement, and ensure the relocated Kirkwood statue is displayed in the Iowa Capitol. The Iowa Economic Development Authority will provide administrative support and manage a Capitol Statuary Fund to finance these activities.
