Rep. Leonard Boswell

About Me

No longer Iowa's only House Democrat, I welcome our new Democratic Congressmen Bruce Braley and Dave Loebsack to the 110th Congress. I am back in Washington DC working tirelessly to improve the lives of everyday Americans with my focus on improving health care, education, and keeping our nation safe.

I began my 20 years of public service as a draftee in the Army and served two tours leading men into battle in Vietnam. My wife Dody and I returned to Iowa to raise a family on the farm and I was honored to server my fellow Iowans in the State Senate. Today, I continue to heed my country's call in Congress. I have always risen to the fight for our American values and will never shrink from a challenge.

I am proud to have fought for our Democratic ideals for the past ten years in Congress and am proud of the accomplishments Team Boswell has made for honest, hardworking Americans from all backgrounds.

I am honored to serve our nation in Washington and look forward to a continuing these efforts. I hope you will join me in this fight to improve the lives of all Americans and move our country forward.

Thank you again for visiting our MySpace site. I hope you will join our fight. Together, we can move America forward.

Sincerely,
Leonard
