DES MOINES, IOWA (April 12, 2019) — The Iowa Democratic Party released the following statement following Representative Dave Loebsack's announcement that he will not seek re-election in 2020: “Rep Loebsack has been a strong leader for Iowans in the second district. For over a decade, he has been a tireless advocate for veterans, worked to grow Eastern Iowa's wind and energy sectors, and has stood up for Iowa’s hardworking families. And for several years, he was the lone Democratic voice in Washington fighting for Iowa common-sense. “We know that he will continue to fight for accessible health-care, public schools, veterans rights, and an economy that expands opportunities for the middle-class during the remainder of his term. “We look forward to continuing our work with Rep Loebsack over the next 19 months on our key values, and we are confident that we will keep Eastern Iowa blue and elect another progressive voice to represent the second district in 2020.”
