Congressman Dave Loebsack Sworn In For 5th Term
Congressman Dave Loebsack was sworn in for his fifth term in the House of Representatives by Speaker John Boehner.
Washington D.C. – In a press release on the day Congressman Dave Loebsack was sworn in for his 5th term in office, he pledged “to continue the fight to grow the economy, expand the middle class and make education available to everyone.”
Congressman Loebsack began serving in congress in 2007, and serves as Iowa’s Second Congressional District Representative to the 114th Congress.
“As the new Congress is sworn in, I am honored to be given the opportunity to continue my work on growing the economy, fighting to expand the middle class and ensuring everyone has access to the education they need to succeed in the 21st century workforce. In the nearly 500 events I held around Iowa last year, the one thing that remained constant was the desire of the people for Congress to put aside its political bickering and come together to move our nation forward. The beginning of this new Congress provides us an opportunity to do just that. I look forward to continuing to serve the people of Iowa.”
As the new congress convenes, Loebsack will now serve on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He will continue to have two district offices, in Davenport and Iowa City, and will remain in the same office in Washington.
Iowa Governor Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds congratulated the Iowa congressional delegation. “I look forward to working with the congressional delegation to strengthen state and federal relations as we work to create jobs, reduce debt, increase incomes and provide our children with a world-class education and the skills needed for successful careers,” said Branstad.
Iowa’s Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, who recruited Ernst to run for Montgomery County Treasurer and Iowa State Senate, stated, “It was an honor to be in Washington, D.C. today to witness Senator Joni Ernst take the oath of office as a United States Senator. I look forward to partnering with Senator Grassley, Senator Ernst, Congressman Blum, Congressman King, Congressman Loebsack, and Congressman Young as we all work to move Iowa forward.”
