“Today Iowa made an important statement about the future.

“Chet Culver and Patty Judge will continue the tradition of fighting for Iowa's families at Terrace Hill. They will expand health care for our families, keep jobs in Iowa where they belong, protect veterans benefits, and help Iowa lead the nation towards energy independence.

“And with new majorities in the State House and Senate led by Pat Murphy and Mike Gronstal, Chet and Patty will have legislators who make policies based on what's good for our families, not for special interests.

“A proud veteran Leonard Boswell fought back against the lies big money can buy and he will continue his decades long fight for the people of Iowa's 3rd district. And by electing Bruce Braley Iowa has voted for change and will have the kind of representation in Congress that they deserve. We wish Dave Loebsack the best of luck as he continues his well-fought campaign to victory.

“I'd like to congratulate Selden Spencer and Joyce Schulte on races well fought. They will no doubt continue to contribute to the life of our party.”
