Then-Rep. Bruce Braley gave a tour of his congressional office in 2010 for Roll Call’s “Office Space” series, which will make a triumphant return this fall.  

From 2007 to 2015, the Democrat represented the Iowa district where the steel bollards protecting the entrances to federal buildings were manufactured and where the 1989 film “Field of Dreams” was filmed. “As a result, his space in the Longworth House Office Building is decorated with mementos that pay homage to working hard and playing hard,” reporter Ali McSherry wrote in the original 2010 story.  

“My office is a reflection of who I am, my family and the people I want to remember while I’m here in Washington,” said Braley, who ran unsuccessfully for Senate in 2014.  

Braley’s is the first in a series of previously published Roll Call “Office Space” features that will re-run during the August recess. Check back in September for new episodes.
