Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack today welcomed Brianna Paup, the winner of the 2014 Congressional Art Contest to Washington. Brianna's drawing, Old Man, was selected in an online competition in which nearly 2,500 votes were cast to determine who would represent Iowa's Second District in the annual competition. Brianna, who is from Mechanicsville and just completed her Junior year at North Cedar High School, traveled with her mother to Washington to see her art work displayed and attend a reception held in her honor.
"Each year I am more and more impressed by the creativity, ingenuity, and talent of our local high school students and Brianna is no exception. It was a pleasure to welcome Brianna and her mom to Washington. I am glad they had the opportunity to visit our nation's capital and see her art work displayed."
