This week, we shine a spotlight on Mayor of Henderson, Iowa, and Iowa Western alum, Eva Fipps.

Eva is a trailblazer in her own right. After graduating from Iowa Western while dual-enrolled at Treynor High School, a spontaneous decision led her to run for office and be elected as the youngest female mayor in the history of the United States. Her passion for helping others and commitment to Henderson’s growth made her a clear choice, winning the election 31-19.

Despite the groundbreaking achievement, Fipps has remained a humble leader of her community. At only 20 years old, she’s the representative for Mills County, serving as the voice of these residents with a mission to revitalize the area. She continues to credit Iowa Western for the different opportunities that helped grow her into the leader she is today.

Check out the full feature story on Eva Fipps and the city of Henderson, Iowa here!
