Loebsack Gets on State Fair Soapbox; Miller-Meeks in Burlington

Democratic Congressman Dave Loebsack says the November election “will hinge” on two key issues: Social Security and Medicare.

Loebsack spoke Tuesday at The Des Moines Register’s Soapbox at the Iowa State Fair.

Loebsack, a Democrat from Iowa City, faces Republican challenger Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa, who will make an appearance at The Drake in downtown Burlington from 12:30 – 1:30 this(Weds) afternoon. She’ll be joined by Barb Grassley, U-S Senator Chuck Grassley’s wife.

Loebsack accuses Miller-Meeks of supporting ideas advanced by Republicans like George W. Bush and Paul Ryan — letting younger workers invest their own Social Security taxes and giving seniors a stipend to buy health insurance.
