Thank you to @IowaFDA for speaking with me about the critical work you’re doing in Iowa during these hard times and sharing the challenges you face during #COVID19. You play a vital role in honoring our loved ones who are no longer with us. Stay safe & stay strong. — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke with leaders of electric co-ops from across Iowa earlier today and I was glad to share with them that, after pushing @SBAgov, today they issued new guidance giving our electric co-ops access to the #PaycheckProtectionProgram! — PolitiTweet.org

All Iowans are facing challenges during these tough times, but it’s especially important our seniors & those most at-risk get the support they need. On my tele-town hall with folks from @aarpiowa & @IowaAHU, I was glad to have the chance to answer their questions. https://t.co/xxnOe25InK — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 is causing an immediate crisis for folks who care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which is why @SenatorHassan and I are working to provide relief for these Medicaid disability service providers. https://t.co/NrVB6YvSX0 — PolitiTweet.org

During #COVID19, we’ve seen how important broadband is. Today, I was thrilled to join @SecretarySonny & @IADeptAg Sec Naig virtually for the announcement of a ReConnect Grant to increase broadband access in Iowa. As Sec. Perdue said, “when rural America thrives, America thrives!” https://t.co/wmBarIWsQT — PolitiTweet.org

Since the outbreak of #COVID19, I’ve been working with @AARPIowa to ensure we are supporting Iowa’s seniors & those most at-risk. I was glad to speak with them again this week about additional issues folks may face, and how I’m working to support our family caregivers. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The current crisis is only amplifying the critical work of family caregivers who support the daily needs of our most at-risk population. I’m pushing my colleagues to support my efforts to provide financial relief to caregivers in any future #COVID19 packages. https://t.co/Yc9oeVCSKD — PolitiTweet.org

Like every industry, #COVID19 has forced our realtors to adapt to continue to serve their customers. On a call with @IowaRealtors yesterday, we talked about these changes, and the steps we need to take to safely re-open our economy so folks can get back to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Glad I could provide updates to folks from both the @CityofCRiowa & @IowaLeague on the #COVID19 relief we’ve provided through our bipartisan work here in the Senate, & share addt’l items I’m working on—like the water infrastructure package I helped pass out of @EPWGOP last week. — PolitiTweet.org

We couldn’t fight #COVID19 without them. That’s why I’m fighting for these heroes to have hazard pay and their military health care for the rest of the year. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowa's families, small biz, & workers all depend on having the most up-to-date & reliable info available, & it’s our local newspapers, TV, & radio that deliver it. I’m working on a bill to allow local media to qualify for the #PaycheckProtectionProgram https://t.co/2hC4n2V2MP — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Together – with the sacrifice of our essential workers, the spirit of generosity we’ve seen across Iowa, and the service of our leaders at every level of government – we will get through this. The battle continues, but I know that we can and we will beat #COVID19. https://t.co/C1pQdJf1ts — PolitiTweet.org

We’re all missing sports, and I was glad to get the chance to speak with @HawkeyeFootball Coach Ferentz today & offer some encouraging words to the @uiowa family. https://t.co/rcxjN4YTbT — PolitiTweet.org

Iowa’s cattle producers are facing tough times, and possible market manipulation and anticompetitive behavior in the industry have only made things worse. @TheJusticeDept should investigate. https://t.co/Q0lof3WVIv — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

This pandemic has forced Iowa’s pork producers to make tough decisions impacting both their livelihoods and our nation’s food supply. That’s why @ChuckGrassley and I are fighting to get them the relief & support they need. https://t.co/NBIjq6xzzw — PolitiTweet.org

Iowa’s police officers work day-in & day-out to keep our communities safe. During #NationalPoliceWeek, I’m calling on Iowans to join me in thanking our men and women in blue for their hard work, dedication, & sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the Trump Administration for heeding my calls & issuing guidance to allow more of Iowa’s doctors to help combat #COVID19 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowa feeds and fuels the world, and we need to ensure we can continue to do just that. That’s why I’ve been working with the administration and @IAGovernor to support Iowa’s ag community, protect workers, and maintain a strong food supply chain. https://t.co/jAMFKxFDUH — PolitiTweet.org

I called for the White House to stop our troops’ retirement savings from being invested in China, and I’m thankful President @realdonaldtrump is taking bold action to ensure this does not happen. https://t.co/io49Kvt2HT — PolitiTweet.org

In Iowa we have some of the best and brightest health care workers in the world, who have risen to the occasion to help us fight #COVID19. On this #NationalHospitalWeek, we say THANK YOU. https://t.co/zSbkLxyYbA — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Even before #COVID19, Iowans struggled to find quality, affordable child care, which is why I’ve been working to increase access & support providers. I’m leading a bipartisan group of senators pushing for additional support for our child care community as we combat this virus. https://t.co/gCjbPhKZNM — PolitiTweet.org
