| http://loebsack.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=394722 | VIDEO: Loebsack Says Farewell to Rep. Latham | 2014-12-08 | 2014 | 2014-12 | Democrat | House | IA | Dave Loebsack | L000565 | loebsack.house.gov | legacy | Congressman Dave Loebsack today gave remarks on the House floor saying farewell to Congressman Tom Latham, who is retiring at the end of this year. Loebsack recalled their work on various issues affecting the state, including the Iowa National Guard, recovery after the Floods of 2008 and addressing the recent VA scandal. The two have worked together since 2007. A video of Loebsack’s remarks can be seen here.“It’s really an honor for me to be up here tonight to speak for and about Tom Latham. When I got elected, one of the first things I did was try to find out as much as I could about Tom Latham and meet with Tom Latham and work with him on a number of issues because I knew he had a reputation for working across the aisle,” Loebsack said on the House floor. “Even at a time and in this Body we’ve seen a lot of ugliness over the years. It seems as though our politics in America has just gotten uglier by the day sometimes. And even in the middle of all that, Tom Latham has stood tall, he’s stood proud as an Iowan, he’s got a lot of commonsense like most Iowans do and he works with the other side because he knows that the job is to get things done. And that’s what Tom Latham does. He has gotten things done.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
