Constituent Services
As your Congressman, it is my task to represent your interests in Washington, D.C., and to advance the priorities of Iowa's 3rd District while helping to shape responsible national policy. My job is also to help you, your family, friends, and neighbors with individual matters involving federal agencies. In fact, the primary function of my district office is to serve the needs of the constituents of the Iowa's 3rd Congressional District.
You should know that, whether it's a legislative issue or a problem you're having with a federal agency, we're here to listen and to help represent your interests to the best of our ability.
So that I can best help you, please follow the steps below:
Step #1: Can I help you through my Web site?
Step #2: Can my staff help you with an issue not on my Web site?
Step #3: Working with my staff on your case.
It is an honor to serve you in Congress and to offer you the best service I possibly can. I depend on your comments and suggestions to keep me informed about important issues. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Congressman Leonard Boswell

Iowa's 3rd District
The 3rd Congressional District covers 12 counties in central Iowa, including Des Moines’s Polk County and extending to the east. The district is anchored in Des Moines, the state’s largest city and the region’s commercial, financial, and governmental center. Many insurance companies are headquartered in Des Moines, such as The Principal Financial Group, Allied Insurance, Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Iowa, and FBL Financial Group, Inc. Wells Fargo Financial is also headquartered in Des Moines. The remainder of the district is largely rural, but the small towns continue to thrive and house some giant manufacturing plants. Pella is the home of Pella Corporation, maker of Pella Windows and Doors, which employs approximately 3,000 workers. Newton, in Jasper County, (population 15,000) is home to the Iowa Speedway.

Excellent educational institutions abound in the 3rd District. Grinnell College of beautiful Grinnell, Iowa, ranks as one of the best liberal arts college in the country. Pella, IA is home to Central College, as well as the famous Pella Tulip Time Festival. Another excellent liberal arts college in the 3rd is Drake University, located in Des Moines. Oskaloosa is home to William Penn College, founded by Quaker pioneers in 1873. Vinton, located in the northern part of the district, is home to the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School.
In addition to the tourist destinations in Des Moines, each year thousands of tourists flock to the Amana Colonies, a National Historic Landmark tucked in the rolling hills in Iowa County. The Amana Colonies consist of seven villages, founded nearly 150 years ago as a communal society.
I try to regularly travel to each county. However, when scheduling conflicts do arise, my district representatives are readily available to hear and share your thoughts and concerns. Please feel free to call my toll-free number at 1-888-432-1984.
