Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa's 99 counties. “It’s prime time to recognize Ludlow’s Steakhouse,” said Chair Ernst. “Through their entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to their employees and community, the Pershys have grown Ludlow’s Steakhouse into a Wayne County staple — a job truly well done.” For more than two decades, Ludlow’s Steakhouse has proudly served the people of Wayne County. Ron and Maureta Redmon opened Ludlow’s in 2004 and operated the restaurant until 2013, when they sold the business to Craig and Brenda Onstot. Truett and Sheena Pershy took ownership in 2017 and have since expanded the menu, launched a catering business, and overseen a major renovation and relocation to better serve their customers and community. From custom-cut aged steaks and seafood to pasta, sandwiches, and more, Ludlow’s offers something for everyone to enjoy. Stay tuned as Chair Ernst continues to recognize outstanding Iowa small businesses with her Small Business of the Week award. ###	1	2026-09-29T11:07:12Z	2026-09-29T11:08:49Z
