Iowa educator Bill Maske (D) is planning a 2010 campaign against Rep. Tom Latham (R) in the 4th district.

Maske, who has a background as a school administrator, has filed candidacy paperwork with the Federal Election Commission and created a campaign Web site.

The Iowa political blog Bleeding Heartland said that Maske attended the state party’s Jefferson-Jackson dinner last weekend and that volunteers handed out campaign literature.
