House Majority Whip Tom Emmer met with Lydia Holmgren at his congressional office to congratulate her on her win with an outstanding pencil drawing of her great-grandmother, Pearl. The sketch will be displayed in the halls of Congress for the next year.

The drawing will hang with the other winning pieces in the tunnel connecting the U.S. Capitol and the Cannon House Office Building.
