Farmers are resilient but folks may be struggling with stress, depression, and other mental health challenges during these difficult times. If you need help, please call one of the hotlines below or visit https://t.co/sJnzLvh5ZM for more resources. https://t.co/ylpaWaSC9k — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout #COVID19, essential workers in #Iowa & across the country have continued in their daily jobs—to care for & protect Americans, to produce & deliver food & essential goods, and to uphold our nation’s critical infrastructure. They deserve relief. https://t.co/og3DLeKhZF — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Spoke with @VP today about a number of issues I’m working on for Iowans, including: ✅ Providing support for our pork producers ✅ Maintaining a strong food supply chain ✅ Tax relief for our essential workers https://t.co/x1t0JXjJs9 — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has caused Iowa’s colleges to dramatically change the way they teach our students. I spoke w/presidents of Iowa’s community colleges today about challenges they face. A common need: increased access to broadband – something I’ve been pushing for, & will continue to. — PolitiTweet.org

Great to visit with Craig Steen, a local Montgomery County employer, today. Craig’s company, like so many incredible Iowa businesses, is doing their part to combat #COVID19. https://t.co/6lhtYys7Cv — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowa’s pork producers need relief. I’m joining @IAGovernor, @ChuckGrassley, & @IADeptAg in asking for immediate assistance from the admin to support our pork producers, including: ➡️Packing plant operations ➡️Humane euthanasia of hogs ➡️Indemnity ➡️Mental health assistance https://t.co/0EUcBq9klb — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Great new initiative by our state leaders to help both our @IowaPork producers and Iowans facing food insecurity. #PassThePork — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this yr, I visited ITC Midwest’s Perry facility to learn about how they help power #Iowa. Last wk, they announced that Stanton will receive the 1st ITC Midwest/@IARuralCouncil “Power of Connection” grant to support their downtown renovation project. Good news for SW Iowa! — PolitiTweet.org

If you have already applied for a loan but were not approved before funding ran out, please follow up with your local lender on the status of your loan. And, as always, don’t hesitate to reach out to my office if you have issues! — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

TODAY: The #PaycheckProtectionProgram will resume accepting applications to support Iowa’s small businesses. Learn how to apply through a lender near you: https://t.co/zcHDpib7D5 — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot weather #COVID19 without our essential workforce, who are ensuring Americans are safe and fed, and are providing care for our loved ones. Let’s show them our appreciation. Here's my proposal: https://t.co/og3DLf1SRd — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

While Iowans face challenging times, we’re all working together to help one another get through #COVID19. Submit your story of ways you, your family members, or your neighbors and communities are stepping up to help each other out: https://t.co/hzfrUg6XLH — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Our nonprofits do vital work, & unfortunately many are struggling with how to help their communities while also trying to endure the #COVID19 crisis themselves. That’s why I fought to get relief for our nonprofit workers and organizations in the relief package Congress passed. https://t.co/8gf9GJrRzZ — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Law enforcement professionals in Iowa and across the country are continuing to keep our communities, states, and country safe during #COVID19. I joined a letter to Attorney General Barr expressing my support for his ongoing public safety efforts during this pandemic. https://t.co/c76KELCG1t — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

We must protect the safety of workers & integrity of our food supply. I'll continue to push the admin to make this a top priority bc a plant closure doesn't just affect the employees working the line, it reaches back to the farmer & forward to the consumer https://t.co/t33kW3zeV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Thanks to the bipartisan CARES Act I helped pass, @IAPublicHealth will receive $2 million to go towards expanding programs for those struggling with substance abuse and mental illness – as well as expand telemedicine statewide. https://t.co/3OGTsC5xfr — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowa’s pork industry is in dire straits. After speaking with @SecretarySonny this week, I’m thankful to see him put plans in place to provide guidance, support, and resources to Iowa pork producers during this trying time. https://t.co/t33kW3zeV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Thanks @IowaRestaurant owners & operators for taking time to talk with me today. You—and our servers & bartenders—do so much for our local economies & communities. I'm working to support you all & I encourage Iowans to do the same. Gift cards, take out—whatever you can do. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Our essential workers are our heroes. It's time we pay them back. https://t.co/og3DLeKhZF — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Our ag community has been hit hard by #COVID19—the crisis has caused unprecedented damage to the livestock, dairy, and specialty crop industries—and we need to ensure they get relief. I’m urging the president to eliminate payment limits for Iowa’s farmers & producers. https://t.co/oHjUK0encN — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Now that we’ve delivered additional funding for the #PaycheckProtectionProgram, we need to ensure our local media outlets are eligible for the program—so they can continue to provide our communities with critical information during & after #COVID19 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

🚨 With @realdonaldtrump’s signature, more relief is on its way to Iowa’s businesses and families! Congress came together again & passed this additional relief which includes access to Economic Injury Disaster Loans for Iowa’s ag community. https://t.co/OJTzsMgsKX — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowans need access to the latest, reliable information. As health experts roll out important #COVID19 PSA’s, going to our local newspapers, TV, & radio is a good way to deliver info. I’m requesting PSA’s be directed to their airwaves & in print—w/no extra burden to the taxpayer. https://t.co/58EZrlP8g0 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Local reporting in Iowa is always vital for our communities, but especially now. I’m calling for support for Iowa’s newspapers and television and radio stations. More: https://t.co/IAwLIibtW8 — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to all the folks who joined! — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As the 1️⃣ pork producing state, Iowa’s pork producers, like folks @IowaSelect I spoke w/today, are essential to our economy. #COVID19 has been hard on our producers, & I’m fighting to get them support & ensure our food supply chain remains strong: from farmer ➡️ packer ➡️ table. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Whether it be a war with a foreign power or an invisible enemy, Iowans and Americans know they can count on the Army Reserve to always step up to a challenge. From a former citizen soldier, happy birthday @USArmyReserve! https://t.co/Gonyt8vaAN — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

.@ChuckGrassley and I worked across the aisle to provide for Iowa’s veteran communities during this pandemic. Today, we joined a call with @VAIowaCity to discuss these efforts—including increasing access to telehealth services & bolstering funding for the @DeptVetAffairs. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’m looking forward to answering questions from Iowans across the state during my telephone town hall tonight. ☎️ J… https://t.co/nqObgv6wgT — PolitiTweet.org
