For our country to continue to be the great power that it is, we must ensure all children have access to a high-quality education from preschool to college,\u201d said Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education Subcommittee Ranking Member Dave Loebsack. \u201cIowa has a long history of providing a top-notch education and I look forward to bringing that experience to the subcommittee. I also want to thank Ranking Member Miller for his years of service to this Committee and to the nation. I look forward to working with him to move critical legislation forward.\u201d<br \/>\u201cDave has been a critical part of the Education and Workforce Committee from day one and I am pleased that he was chosen to lead one of its subcommittees,\u201d said Representative George Miller, senior Democrat on the Education and the Workforce Committee. \u201cHis experience as a former educator will bring a unique perspective to the subcommittee. I look forward to working with Dave to pass legislation that can improve the lives of all children across the country.\u201d<br \/>The subcommittee has jurisdiction over elementary and secondary education initiatives, including the No Child Left Behind Act; early childhood and preschool education programs, including Head Start; special education (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act); teacher quality and teacher training; scientifically-based reading instruction; vocational and technical education; and school lunch and child nutrition programs.<br \/><em><strong>Photo Congressman Loebsack visiting Matthew Casillas State Farm Agency earlier this year.
