Waterloo, IA - Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) released the following statement tonight after securing the Democratic nomination for Iowa First District US Representative:
"I'm honored be the Democratic nominee in the First Congressional District. Over the next five months, I look forward to a spirited campaign focused on my record of creating jobs and new economic opportunities for Iowa, making education more affordable and accessible, and honoring the sacrifice of our veterans long after they return home.
"I learned about hard work and Iowa common sense growing up in Poweshiek County. I'm running for re-election because there is still work to do. And the only way we're going to fix the mess in Washington is by sending people there who have the experience to bring people together and get things done."
