Loebsack Announces 397 Mile Tour

Democratic Congressional Candidate Dave Loebsack announced today his
"Walk with Dave…Be the Change!" tour of Iowa's 2nd Congressional
District. The trek across Iowa, totaling approximately 397 miles, begins
in Promise City with a kick-off party to celebrate the beginning of the
tour.

Loebsack spoke about the district-wide tour.

"I want to bring a message of hope and opportunity to the people of the
Second District. I want to talk with Iowans about our shared values. I
believe that together we will once again make America a place of
opportunity for all Americans," Loebsack said.

Loebsack spoke about his reasons for running for Congress.

"It's time to say loud and clear - we want change! We want a government
that believes in equal opportunity, quality education, universal and
affordable healthcare, and a healthy environment to raise our families,"
Loebsack continued.

Iowa's 2nd Congressional District consists of 15 counties in eastern
Iowa. It is the second most Democratic district in the country to be
represented by a Republican.

An Iowa native, Loebsack is running for Congress to bring effective
leadership and real change to America.
