Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dave Loebsack announced today that he will be continuing his “Making It Work” tour in Davenport and Muscatine.

Loebsack will travel across the state to meet with Iowans and discuss what it takes to make their community work. At each stop, Loebsack will discuss the real life impact the Republicans’ proposed budget will have on local communities. Media are invited to attend each stop.
