Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack announced today that he will be visiting various elementary, middle and high schools throughout Iowa's Second Congressional District on his "Our Schools, Our Future" Tour. Loebsack was recently chosen to serve as Ranking Member, the senior most Democrat, of the House Education and Workforce Committee's Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education. At each visit, Loebsack will get a tour of the school and meet with various stakeholders including principals, teachers, counselors, school board members and parents.
"For our country to remain competitive in the global marketplace, we must ensure our kids receive the best education possible," said Loebsack. "From pre-school all the way through high school, it is our responsibility to provide children with the tools they need to succeed and enable them to achieve the American Dream. I look forward to seeing the innovative ways Iowa schools are preparing our children and also listening to their concerns so I can bring their experience and ideas back to Washington."
Loebsack will make stops in Clinton, Muscatine, Davenport, Burlington, Keokuk, Iowa City, West Liberty, Ottumwa, Osceola, Newton and Chariton. Details for each stop will be announced at a later date. Members of the media and cameras are invited to attend.
