In Carroll Co., I met w/parents & local leaders to hear how they've come together to address the rural child care crisis in their area. We discussed my push to help expand access to child care & ⬆️ support for projects—like Glidden’s Lil’ Wildcat Education Center. #99CountyTour https://t.co/p7ezWjAyhf — PolitiTweet.org

The science, the data, and the health experts alike have all made it clear that we can and should safely get our kids back in schools. That’s why—at the federal level—I’m helping lead an effort that will help get our kids back in the classroom. https://t.co/fCLR2DALFu — PolitiTweet.org

In Story Co., I visited w/folks at @CITSignature to discuss the impacts of #COVID19 on their business & ways we should continue supporting our transportation industry. The owners have proudly converted part of their space into a #TestIowa site. Thx for all you do! #99CountyTour https://t.co/AZUAPGlYy5 — PolitiTweet.org

Next Stop: Webster County, where I met with city & county officials in Fort Dodge. We discussed a number of priorities in the community, including their work to expand access to rural broadband—something I’ve long been advocating for in the Senate. #99CountyTour https://t.co/8cGakbKYvx — PolitiTweet.org

During this pandemic, nonprofits like @JLSiouxCity have worked tirelessly to help out Iowans in their communities. I was honored to visit these folks yesterday on my #99CountyTour. https://t.co/t2gJnBZ9BM — PolitiTweet.org

Next Stop: Webster Co., where I met w/Fort Dodge Mayor Matt Bemrich + other city & county officials.

COVID presents many challenges for those caring for Iowans w/disabilities—today I spoke w/folks @ Opportunity Living in Calhoun Co. about the services they provide. Thx for what you do each day. I’ll keep working in the Senate to support these critical providers. #99CountyTour https://t.co/NcACxvckcr — PolitiTweet.org

NEW ➡️ As a member of @SenateAgGOP and @SmallBizCmte, I’m joining a bipartisan effort to increase eligibility for #PaycheckProtectionProgram loans for Iowa’s farmers. https://t.co/GGihRi6dyz — PolitiTweet.org

It was an honor to meet with Sac Co. farmer Rick Meister, who tragically lost his legs in a combine accident, & to hear how he's been able to continue farming w/the help of @EasterSealsIowa. Your story of resilience is inspiring, Rick—thank you for sharing it w/me. #99CountyTour https://t.co/tqmP5A7Qow — PolitiTweet.org

Stopped by the @185ARW yesterday to visit with leaders and see their newly-painted KC-135 stratotanker refueler for the unit’s 75th Anniversary. As a former @IowaNatGuard member, I’m thankful to our troops for their service to our great state & nation! https://t.co/hq1xsZ5KQQ — PolitiTweet.org

First #99CountyTour stop of the day: Ida County! I stopped by the award-winning @TQMeats to visit with their hardworking owners & discuss the challenges they're facing due to COVID. In the Senate, I’ll continue fighting to ensure our #smallbiz are supported during the pandemic. https://t.co/hSCQb6GqBg — PolitiTweet.org

Washington prioritizing politicians over struggling Americans is just the swamp returning to its normal habitat. It’s a disgrace. We need to permanently ban earmarks—even if it makes some folks squeal. https://t.co/evPRnnSlHS — PolitiTweet.org

On to Woodbury Co. where I visited volunteers w/@JLSiouxCity—which is celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year—& took a tour of their Discovery Shop thrift store. Grateful for your leadership & all that you’re doing to support the community. Thanks for having me! #99CountyTour https://t.co/OofPdDbRFk — PolitiTweet.org

Iowa's ag community was hit hard by the devastating #derecho that swept across our state last summer—& in the Senate, I've been pushing to ensure they're supported. I applaud @RepFeenstra for successfully leading an effort to provide #Iowa farmers some much-needed relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @AmesHighSchool for winning the 2021 National Science Bowl Regional Competition earlier this month. Wishing your team good luck as you advance to the @DOE_SC_NSB Finals later this spring. Excellent work! — PolitiTweet.org

The @IowaWesternCC Nursing Simulation Center in Pottawattamie Co. is an excellent example of #Iowa innovation that’s helping to prepare our future health professionals. Thanks to Dr. Dan Kinney, students, & staff for showing me around this state of the art facility! #99CountyTour https://t.co/cSGvZRDOc6 — PolitiTweet.org

My new bill—the FALSE Act—would fire federal employees who knowingly misspend taxpayer money and falsify information provided to Congress & taxpayers about how your hard-earned dollars are being spent. #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/QBt9WeGpqI — PolitiTweet.org

As a mom, my heart breaks for all the young boys and girls across the country who are struggling as a direct result of remote learning. The toll it’s taken on the progress women have made in the workforce is also devastating. https://t.co/T2ngJQsoKu — PolitiTweet.org

Increasing wages for Iowa workers is something that I believe we can and should work on, but a drastic $15 federal minimum wage hike during a global pandemic would be the wrong path. https://t.co/kLZA97X9cE — PolitiTweet.org

Congressional Democrats’ plan to re-instate earmarks is nothing short of a belated Valentine to Washington special interests and lobbyists who have been chomping at the bit for this pork-making process to return. #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/evPRnnSlHS — PolitiTweet.org

Our youngest generation is falling behind: virtual learning does not give them the attention they need to be successful, and the isolation it creates has had an enormous impact on their mental health. America’s students deserve better. https://t.co/T2ngJQsoKu — PolitiTweet.org
Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst
During my time in the Senate, Congress has never needed to go back to the individual earmark system of the past. We need to permanently ban this bad practice. https://t.co/R5tMnXkFWK — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve long been pushing to expand infrastructure for high blends of biofuel, like #E15, which is critical for Iowa’s economy. My latest bipartisan effort will help advance the deployment of renewable fuel infrastructure. MORE: https://t.co/7npmyhM6Rj — PolitiTweet.org

It’s past time we adopt a Balanced Budget Amendment to our nation’s constitution to make sure Washington politicians are forced to make the math work—and never spend more than we take in. https://t.co/6w49yQzZUG — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman is a hero. I am deeply grateful for his service — and the dedication of all of our Capitol Police. Tonight, the Senate unanimously awarded Officer Goodman the Congressional Gold Medal. Thank you, and God Bless you, Officer Goodman. — PolitiTweet.org

The Democrats’ $15 min wage proposal would ⬆️ child care costs nationwide—& the rise would be disproportionately high in #Iowa: 📈 Costs would soar 33% on average 👨👩👧👦 A family with 2 kids would pay +$25K/year Let’s focus on making child care more accessible & affordable instead. — PolitiTweet.org
