Schwab the right candidate in District 73

At first, my reason for supporting Dick Schwab for the new Iowa House District 73 was because of his commitment to improving Iowa's educational system. I'm a retired teacher and I appreciate Dick's service as a Solon school board member.

But after hearing Dick talk about living the values of 4-H he learned as a youngster on the family farm in Minnesota, I went to the 4-H website to learn more. The 4-H's are Head, Heart, Hands and Health as noted in the pledge:

“I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country and my world.”

Now my main reason for voting for Dick is because he will draw upon his life's experience to fulfill the 4-H pledge for the benefit of all of us. Please vote for Democrat Dick Schwab in the June 5 primary election.
