Iowa’s 2015 legislative session begins today. State Representative for House District 84, Dave Heaton, says he’s anxious to meet and get to know the legislators elected in November. He says new members typically keep a low profile during the first half of session, listening and learning how the process works. This will be Heaton’s 21st year in the Iowa House of Representatives.

Heaton will be joined by fellow state Representative Jarad Klein and state senators Rich Taylor and Kevin Kinney at the Washington County Courthouse on Saturday for the Washington Chamber’s first legislative briefing of the year.

Listen to our conversation with Heaton during today’s In Touch with Southeast Iowa.
