We need to do all we can to protect our seniors & those most at-risk. @realdonaldtrump’s new measures to protect our elderly population living in nursing homes is welcome news for folks in Iowa. https://t.co/sdL5oPdGAH — PolitiTweet.org

Why in the world is the US gov’t going to invest our servicemembers’ retirement in companies in China? We need to put an end to that. @POTUS can take action ASAP to stop this, and I’m working with @MarcoRubio on a bill to ban this from ever happening again. — PolitiTweet.org

Social distancing has been especially difficult for folks impacted by dementia & Alzheimer’s disease. Fortunately, @alzIOWA has adapted & continues to offer programs to those in need—including online resources, virtual community programs, & support groups: https://t.co/ChCHZSxYMx — PolitiTweet.org

To beat #COVID19, we must ensure all qualified & willing doctors are able to assist where help is needed, particularly in our rural areas. I’m requesting the administration take action to remove regulatory barriers for Iowa’s doctors so they can provide services, like telehealth. https://t.co/MublecOxVT — PolitiTweet.org

I’m working hard with @IAGovernor, @ChuckGrassley, & @IADeptAg Sec. Naig to help support Iowa’s pork producers & maintain our food supply chain. On a call with folks at Christensen Farms, I relayed the work we’re doing, & continued to hear the needs and concerns of our farmers. — PolitiTweet.org

Hearing from all Iowans is extremely important during this pandemic. Today, I had a helpful Q&A session with Iowa City Kiwanis about the relief I’ve helped provide through #PPP and CARES Act, & how we’re working to make sure that relief gets to those who need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’m working with @USDA to find ways to support folks across Iowa’s ag economy, including the egg producers I visited with today. Stay strong—we will get through this, together. @IowaPoultry @IowaEggCouncil https://t.co/MQvOuDGHk1 — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has been tough on our farmers and producers. For anyone in Iowa’s ag community who is feeling overwhelmed, there are resources available for you. Call the Iowa Concern Hotline at 1-800-447-1985 to get free, confidential support, 24/7. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Now more than ever, it’s important we make sure our farmers & producers have the resources they need to get thru #COVID19, so that Iowans, & all Americans, can continue to have food on the grocery store shelves, in our food banks, & on our kitchen tables. https://t.co/iHwygGmByE — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

NEW: @IADeptAg has launched a Resource Coordination Center to support Iowa’s livestock producers affected by supply chain disruptions. To our farmers & producers: we’re all in this together. Please take advantage of this important resource as we navigate this difficult time. https://t.co/iYGkK8x4qo — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t have teams like the Lakers getting slam dunks at the expense of small biz under the #PaycheckProtectionProgram. Thankfully they gave the $$ back & the admin is taking steps to ensure biz who are in need—like those here in Iowa—are prioritized. https://t.co/rYkMsljozL — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Every day, men and women across #Iowa wake up and go to work in the midst of #COVID19. Thank you to our essential workers who keep our healthcare system, food supply, and economy running. Together, we will get through this! https://t.co/ytSsJdR6da — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowans continue to rise to the occasion. The new partnership between Corteva and MercyOne to help increase testing across #Iowa is a great example of that. Together, we’ll get through this and defeat #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Today, I joined a call with chemical manufacturers from across the state. Many of the folks I spoke with have repurposed their production to help combat #COVID19—manufacturing both PPE and hand sanitizer. Thanks for all you’re doing for Iowa! — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Horizons in Cedar Rapids has gone above and beyond to serve their community during #COVID19. In the last three weeks, they’ve delivered over 15,000 meals to homebound seniors & provided transportation services to essential workers. https://t.co/5cYQZTb5dF — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As a former county auditor, I know firsthand the important role our county officials play in our local governments—especially in these difficult times. Had a great discussion with Carroll County leaders today. Great to speak with you all – stay safe & stay strong! — PolitiTweet.org

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. As a survivor myself, I’m working to get additional support for survivors—who are at an increased risk—during #COVID19. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, text “IOWAHELP” to 20121 for the Iowa Victim Service Call Center. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As Iowa’s second largest trade partner, it’s important that we coordinate closely with Mexico to ensure our essential businesses can continue to work together & maintain a strong supply chain. I sent a letter to @SecPompeo urging him to do so. https://t.co/KsUrmwcBs0 — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 Veterans, current military members, and your immediate family: free drive-thru groceries will be available for you TODAY in Sioux City. See below for more details: https://t.co/rLNJRDKduS — PolitiTweet.org

.@IowaNatGuard soldiers & other volunteers are working to keep families fed during the coronavirus pandemic. Thanks to the soldiers from the Waterloo-based 248th Aviation Support Battalion for supporting our fellow Iowans! https://t.co/QSFb4TXSh0 — PolitiTweet.org

Even in certain, stable times, farming can be one of the toughest jobs out there. If you or someone you know is struggling, be sure to connect with these farmer-specific mental health resources: https://t.co/z918P2wvkx — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The Trump Administration has worked hard to get relief to small businesses in Iowa, and across the country. Fortunately, Congress has provided more funding for both the PPP and EIDL programs. I’m asking @SBAgov to work quickly to disburse these funds. https://t.co/yfEnsIFsbF — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’m working hard to ensure we are supporting Iowa’s ag industry, and in turn, protecting our nation’s food supply chain. We’ve seen the success of the #PaycheckProtectionProgram in Iowa, and that’s why I’m seeking to expand this important program to help Iowa’s ag businesses. https://t.co/lVLWDyrb1W — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

We need to ensure all Iowans have access to the relief & support they need. I’m working in a bipartisan way to push for a fix to allow more Iowans to get access to COVID-19 relief payments this year. https://t.co/3XxX8BbKr2 — PolitiTweet.org

Today is Day 2 of @IowaSBDC’s Small Business 5 Day Challenge! Find out ways you can support Iowa’s small businesses this week so we can help folks get #Back2Biz https://t.co/s5RQdTLSdc — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciated having my friend & colleague from neighboring South Dakota @SenJohnThune join today’s telephone town hall and help answer some questions. Thanks to all the folks who participated. Together, we will get through this. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

After calling on the administration to help our pork producers, I’m glad to see @POTUS take action. Our meat processing plants are critical to our food supply. We must ensure workers stay safe by having PPE/testing in place & plants adhere to CDC/OSHA guidelines. — PolitiTweet.org
