Our elderly Iowans are some of the most at-risk to #COVID19, and I’ve been working to ensure these folks and their caregivers have the support they need. I applaud @POTUS for taking action to protect our vulnerable seniors and nursing home residents during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Iowa’s corn farmers have been hit hard by #COVID19. This morning, I heard from folks w/@iowa_corn about their challenges and discussed my continued fight to expand biofuel infrastructure and uphold the #RFS and the importance of finding new markets and more trade opportunities. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Whether it's cheating on trade deals, stealing our intellectual property, or mishandling the #COVID19 outbreak, Communist China does not play by the rules. I’m working to reduce our dependency on China, help bring manufacturing home & create even more jobs for Iowans. https://t.co/OgAaHLXeqH — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The fed gov't should not be subsidizing dangerous wet markets where diseases like #COVID19 can originate & spread from. At today’s @EPWGOP hearing, I highlighted the importance of my bill that bans taxpayer $$ from being spent at China’s unregulated wet markets ever again. https://t.co/ZL5IAhJR2k — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

.@tiktok_us is just one way the Chinese Communist Party illegally collects and stores information about Americans. It should be banned on government devices. Good news: a bill I’m working on to do just that advanced in the Senate today. https://t.co/qvObIWRLNW — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Our essential workers are putting the interests of their fellow Americans ahead of their own. Each and every morning they wake up and go to work, and they should be rewarded for their selfless service. My bill will allow them to keep more of their hard-earned dollars. https://t.co/i5w8PW3WMn — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

If city officials & state leaders allow anarchy to continue on our streets, American taxpayers aren't going to pay for it. My bill will prevent federal funding to anarchist jurisdictions & I’m urging the administration to ensure taxpayer dollars aren’t used to promote anarchy. https://t.co/J5K6RDqdEy — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Whether it’s more assistance for families or providing additional aid for child care programs, we must prioritize these front line workers and our moms and dads. Iowa families depend on the survival of our child care providers. https://t.co/wOP4gNvhv7 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Our essential workers have risen to the challenge & continued in their daily jobs—to care for & protect Iowans, to produce & deliver food and essential goods, & to uphold our nation’s critical infrastructure throughout this pandemic. Let’s pay them back: https://t.co/vsyPCoiMJH — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

On my #99CountyTour stops over the past 2 weeks, I heard directly from Iowans about the issues important to them. That’s why, as we work on the next #COVID19 relief bill, I’m fighting for: ✅ support for rural health care ✅ access to child care ✅ relief for essential workers https://t.co/pMwr1milhm — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Through the #PPP I helped pass, child care providers in Iowa like Crayons 2 Pencils Early Learning Center have been able to support working families during #COVID19. My new bill will ensure our providers can continue to offer these critical services for our moms & dads. https://t.co/4OWuAJO7Mm — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

During my #99CountyTour, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of renewable energy in Iowa – including ethanol, wind & solar. Today, I heard from folks w/ the Iowa Conservative Energy Forum & discussed how I’m fighting for more relief for our ethanol producers hit hard by #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Our front line workers—our nurses, truck drivers, child care providers, & so many others have kept life going for Iowans during #COVID19. My new bill will allow these essential workers to keep more of their hard-earned dollars. https://t.co/vsyPCoiMJH — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Like many sectors, Iowa’s egg industry has also been dramatically impacted by #COVID19. I applaud @IADeptAg Secretary Naig for extending IDAP to our hardworking egg producers who lost their markets and have been forced to euthanize their hens. https://t.co/si87hfSrN4 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

☎️ SOON: I’m hosting another telephone town hall with Iowans, focused on my work to support Iowa’s families & #smallbiz during #COVID19. Tune in at 6:00pm CT! https://t.co/2i4VRPIuOv — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As I continue my #99CountyTour across Iowa, I’m working to ensure our families, essential workers, small businesses, farmers, and kiddos have the support they need during these challenging times. https://t.co/GAcMglF6LK — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

NEW VIDEO: Over the past two weeks, I visited folks in 29 counties as part of my #99CountyTour. During these challenging times, it’s important to hear from Iowans about the issues they face so I can continue being a voice for our families, workers, small biz, and farmers. https://t.co/sLNNaVIis2 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

This week, the #Senate will debate this year’s annual defense bill. As a member of @SASCMajority & a combat veteran, I’m glad the #FY21NDAA includes my work to: ✅ protect troops ✅ preserve tax-dollars ✅ promote technology https://t.co/AsebhDpzJy — PolitiTweet.org

Supporting small businesses and fighting for Iowa families. My column in @gazettedotcom: https://t.co/wOP4gNvhv7 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Monroe County has some great women-owned local businesses! Thanks to everyone for showing me around Albia today and sharing your struggles and successes during #COVID19. https://t.co/Uin1kPUsbf — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Great to meet with small business owners in Marion County today. We talked about the importance of the #PaycheckProtectionProgram and my efforts to reward our essential workers during #COVID19 by allowing them to keep more of their hard-earned dollars. #99CountyTour https://t.co/TseSq6dUnF — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation is grieving the loss of Congressman John Lewis: a dedicated public servant. His legacy and leadership on civil rights will never be forgotten. Praying for comfort and peace for his family and loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

More help is on the way for Iowa’s hospitals! As a result of the bipartisan #COVID19 relief packages I helped pass, HHS just announced another $89,150,000 for health care providers in our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

It’s critical that families have access to quality, affordable child care. I've introduced a new bill to assist our child care providers so they can continue to offer these essential services to working moms and dads during #COVID19. https://t.co/A676HPl2Ux — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Sexual misconduct is unacceptable in any workplace—let alone at the VA, an institution charged w/providing care & benefits to vets, including survivors of sexual violence. I’m urging @SecWilkie to take action to address sexual harassment w/in the agency. https://t.co/mjiDSU9QGp — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

In Jasper Co., I met w/the new owners of Sully Locker & Market to hear about the challenges they’ve faced as new biz owners during #COVID19. Local meat lockers are an important part of our food supply chain, & I’ll continue working to support #smallbiz like them. #99CountyTour https://t.co/nzcl42YEsd — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Thank you, @NationalCorn! I’ll never stop fighting for our corn farmers. 🌽 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

This year, Iowa’s state parks are turning 100! I toured the scenic overlook trail at Pikes Peak State Park in Clayton County & met with folks with the @iowadnr. Thank you for all you do to preserve & restore our state’s parks and natural landscapes. #99CountyTour https://t.co/c6b84GKgG2 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Yet again we see oil companies trying to take advantage of these ridiculous “gap year” waivers at the expense of Iowa’s farmers and ethanol and biodiesel producers. As I’ve said before, @EPAAWheeler it’s time to throw these petitions out and move on. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Young professionals across Iowa represent a bright future for our state’s economy & success. In Dubuque County, I spoke w/the @dubuquechamber Young Professionals about my work to support #smallbiz, working families & rural communities during these challenging times. #99CountyTour https://t.co/oUS6fe24zh — PolitiTweet.org
