David Loebsack Announces His Candidacy for U.S. House District 2

(Mt. Vernon, IA) ­ Today David Loebsack, a Democrat and long-time Cornell College educator, announced his candidacy for congress in Iowa’s second congressional district.

Loebsack stated “It is time for real change in Iowa’s second district. After traveling the district for several months, I have found that Iowans from all parties as well as independents believe that 30 years is more than enough time in office for any politician.

And I have found that folks believe it is time for a representative who will consistently work for the hardworking citizens of the district and provide the leadership necessary on the issues that matter most to Iowans.

Those are critical issues like health care, jobs that won’t be exported, social security and pensions that will be there when hardworking Iowans retire, education for the 21st century, and a healthy environment. In the rural areas of the district we need to work to rejuvenate communities that have been devastated by the increased costs of production and the concentration of agribusiness.”

Loebsack noted the primary reasons for change are the failure of the Republican-controlled national government over the past several years to provide the prosperity promised by George Bush and the loss of American influence abroad as a result of George Bush’s unilateral approach to the rest of the world.

It is time to replace the party in control in the Congress with representatives who will work constructively at home and abroad to provide opportunities for those who have suffered as a result of the current administration’s policies.”

Although Loebsack’s teaching expertise is in the field of international politics, he has learned through his many years as a community educator and activist that the vast majority of Iowans want a representative who will lead on pocket book issues and the environment and who will fight every day for those issues in Washington, D.C.

Loebsack stated, “We need leadership in congress that will not simply offer more tax cuts for the rich and massive budget and trade deficits as far as the eye can see. To provide hope and real change in America and in Iowa’s second district, we need to clean house and send a new representative who will work everyday for the interests of the people of the second district.”
