On Thursday afternoon February 7th following my morning NEA-PAC Council meeting at the NEA headquarters, I was able to join Iowa's two NEA Directors on their appointments with members of Iowa's Congressional delegation. Our NEA Directors on this visit to Washington, D.C. had appointments on Thursday with U.S. Senator Tom Harkin, Congressman Tom Latham, Congressman Leonard Boswell, and Congressman Bruce Braley. Both Directors had a late afternoon meeting back at the NEA building and I was able to represent Iowa in calling upon Congressman Dave Loebsack.
Iowa's two NEA Directors are Jim Young (on far left, below) a 4th grade teacher at Hansen Elementary in Cedar Falls and Kathy Williams (on far right, below) a 7th grade Reading and Language Arts teacher at Wood Middle School in Davenport.
Here we are pictured at the end of our appointment with Iowa's 2nd District Congressman Bruce Braley of Waterloo. Congressman Braley is serving his first term in Congress and is demonstrating he's a real champion for students and public education!
