Earlier today, the House Committee on Armed Services voted to advance legislation written by Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) to provide in-demand skills training and employment assistance to members of National Guard and Reserve who are within 180 days of transitioning into civilian life.
The Transition for Success Act, which Rep. Axne reintroduced in July, was included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2022, and was approved by a vote of 57 to 2 at meeting of House Committee on Armed Services that concluded earlier this morning.
“Here at home and across the globe, members of the Iowa National Guard and Reservists put their lives on the line alongside their active duty brothers and sisters. Especially in light of these servicemembers’ work helping evacuate allies in harm’s way in Kabul over the past few weeks, it is only fair that we give Guard and Reserve veterans the same opportunities to succeed after serving our country,” said Rep. Axne. “I’m glad to see the Armed Services Committee chose to include the commonsense, bipartisan legislation that I wrote to connect those men and women transitioning back to civilian life with skills training programs in this year’s defense policy bill – and look forward to voting for it when it reaches the House floor. Employers want to hire our veterans, and veterans want employment where their skills and service is valued. This legislation helps make that happen.”
Currently, the U.S. Department of Defense offers access to the SkillBridge program to active duty servicemembers transitioning out of their military service. SkillBridge connects departing servicemembers to in-demand skills training and prospective employers who are ready to hire.
The Transition for Success Act would expand access to the SkillBridge program by allowing all National Guard and Reserve servicemembers to participate in the program upon departing military service.
Last year, the House passed the Transition for Success Act, but the measure was not included in the final version of the 2021 NDAA.
axne.house.gov, – September 2, 2021
Today, Representatives Cindy Axne (D-IA), Angie Craig (D-MN), Cheri Bustos (D-IL), and Mark Pocan (D-WI) and U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Tina Smith (D-MN), and Dick Durbin (D-IL) sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) urging them to include support for homegrown renewable fuels in the upcoming reconciliation package.
“Providing additional market access for higher blends of low carbon fuels in the budget reconciliation process will create jobs in rural communities, lower the price of fuel for consumers at the pump, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and, most importantly, decrease carbon emissions,” the legislators wrote.
They continued later in the letter: “We know that the climate crisis is happening right now and we need to confront it with a sense of urgency. Our goal is to decarbonize our transportation sector through an all-hands-on-deck approach that includes investment and incentives for both electric vehicles (EVs) and homegrown renewable fuels.”
The legislators specifically asked Schumer and Pelosi to consider including the Biofuel Infrastructure and Agricultural Product Market Expansion Act, Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, Low Carbon Biofuel Credit Act, Clean Fuels Vehicle Act, Biodiesel Tax Credit Extension Act, and enacting a long-term extension of the Second Generation Biofuel Producer Tax Credit in the budget legislation.

Wikipedia Entry
Cynthia Lynne Axne (née Wadle; born April 20, 1965) is an American politician who served as the U.S. representative from Iowa’s 3rd congressional district from 2019 until 2023. She is currently a senior adviser to the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Biden Administration.
A member of the Democratic Party, Axne narrowly defeated incumbent Republican David Young in the 2018 elections. The district was anchored in the state capital Des Moines; it included much of the state’s southwest quadrant, including Council Bluffs. Axne ran for reelection to a third term in 2022, but lost to Republican challenger Zach Nunn, a U.S. Air Force officer. She is the most recent Democrat to represent Iowa in Congress.
Early life and career
Axne was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1965, the daughter of Terry and Joanne Wadle.[1] She graduated from Valley High School in West Des Moines, Iowa. She earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Iowa and a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern University.[2]
After graduating from college, Axne worked in leadership development and strategic planning for the Tribune Company in Chicago. From 2005 to 2014, she worked in the Iowa state government on service delivery in over 20 state agencies in the executive branch.[2]
U.S. House of Representatives
Elections
2018
In 2018, Axne ran for the United States House of Representatives in Iowa’s 3rd congressional district.[3][4] She won the Democratic primary election with 57.91% of the vote[5] and defeated incumbent representative David Young in the general election, becoming, with Abby Finkenauer, one of the first two women from Iowa elected to the House.[6] Young carried 15 of the district’s 16 counties, but Axne won Polk County, the district’s most populous county and home to Des Moines, by over 30,000 votes, far exceeding the overall margin of 8,000.[7]
2020
In 2020, Axne won the Democratic primary virtually unopposed, facing only write-in candidates.[8] She then defeated David Young in a rematch in the general election, with 48.9% of the vote to Young’s 47.6%.[9]
2022
Axne ran for reelection[10] and lost to Republican nominee Zach Nunn by a margin of 0.7%.
Tenure
Axne took office during the 2018–2019 United States federal government shutdown and requested that her pay be withheld until the shutdown ended.[11] On January 30, 2019, she co-sponsored a bill, the Shutdown to End All Shutdowns (SEAS) Act, to prevent future federal government shutdowns from happening.[12]
In September 2021, Axne was accused of failing to disclose up to $645,000 in stock trades.[13] Reports also found that she had bought and sold stocks in companies she was tasked to oversee as a member of the House Financial Services Committee.[14]
In July 2022, The Committee on Ethics voted to clear Axne of any wrongdoing and dismissed previously filed complaints on stock trading.[15]
In September 2022, Axne voted for the Inflation Reduction Act by proxy while on vacation in France.[16]
As of October 2022, Axne has voted in line with Joe Biden‘s stated position 100% of the time.[17] In an October 2022 interview, she called Biden “the most impactful president we’ve seen in this country’s history”.[18]
In 2022, Axne voted for H.R. 1808: Assault Weapons Ban of 2022.[19][20]
