DES MOINES, Iowa — In a very close race, Iowa Rep. Bob Kressig (D-Cedar Falls) was re-elected during November's elections.

Kressig, who currently serves on the board at $1 billion Veridian Credit Union and is a past chairman, beat Republican opponent Matt Reisetter by 98 votes: 5,137 to 5,039.

First coming to office in 2004, Kressig is already gearing up for the state's legislative session, which kicks off Jan. 8. He has asked his constituents for feedback on which issues should be of highest priority during next year's legislative session: economy/jobs, education, health care, public safety, environment, property taxes or transportation. Kressig had previously said during his tenure, Iowa legislators had not seen credit unions as a threat.
