Democratic Rep. Dave Loebsack announced today that he will retire from the House at the end of his term, potentially setting up a competitive race for Iowa's 2nd Congressional District in 2020.
“When first elected, I had planned to serve no more than 12 years,” Loebsack continued. “However, after Donald Trump assumed the presidency, it became apparent that I needed to run for at least one more term in the hopes that I could provide a check on his worst impulses.
The House Republican campaign arm plans to use the socialist tag against all vulnerable Democrats in 2020 — even if their voting record differs from new liberal stars like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez . In Iowa, the NRCC is also targeting freshman Democratic Reps. Abby Finkenauer and Cindy Axne, who flipped two GOP-held districts in 2018.
