Joyce Schulte to Announce for Congress, 5th District, on January 14

Schulte talks about why she is running. "The people of western Iowa work hard and contribute strongly to their communities, state and nation. They want and deserve to be represented by the highest possible level of integrity, compassion and knowledge in Congress. There is a vacuum of leadership that leaves Congress to do and say things that are not Iowa quality. Iowa quality, when implemented on all levels, would not allow the FEMA disaster that happened after hurricane Katrina; would challenge every policy of the presidential administration to be honorable; and would not misrepresent history by hailing heroes where there are none and deriding the every day hero."

As Schulte told Blog for Iowa in September, "These are only a few of the reasons I'm running for Congress. Very simply, the issues and concerns of the regular Iowan have been forgotten, left behind and thrown overboard by my opponent and his band in Congress.

I'm ready to work for regular people, our students, our families and our family farmers. I'm ready to lift western Iowa up so our strengths are seen. We have serious work to do.

We're into the 21st century, so we don't need people in Congress putting us down, or wanting to fence us in.

As a very young widow in 1973 with 2 young boys to raise, I knew what work was involved. I did not run away from it. I used all the skills and talents I learned on the farm. Define the work. Do the work, rest a bit between the work, and get ready to do it all over again. Those two young boys are now men, married and one has a young daughter. So the future is here and it requires the best we can give it.

I'm ready to see American Pride come alive."
