State representative and Marine Corps veteran Matt Windschitl announced his Congressional campaign for Iowa's 4th District on Monday — he said his years of leadership in the Iowa House will help build more freedom for Iowans.

Council Bluffs Police advised concertgoers for The River’s 30th anniversary concert at Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park—and for those attending the Stir Cove show at Harrah’s Casino on Saturday—to park at CHI Health Center Lot D in Omaha and use the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge to reach the venues.
