As a combat veteran and member of the conference committee for the #FY20NDAA, I’m proud this year’s bipartisan defense bill gives our men & women in uniform the pay raise they deserve. https://t.co/IoKSImOa1P — PolitiTweet.org

I fought hard to include this incentive for biofuels producers in the tax package to continue to: ✅ create good-paying jobs ✅ grow our ag economy ✅ offer new investment opportunities — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Extending the #BiodieselTaxIncentive is critical to growing Iowa’s biofuels industry, which is especially vital in our state’s rural areas. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the 2018 #FarmBill! From strengthening conservation programs to providing critical mental health support through my FARMERS FIRST Act, the Farm Bill has provided certainty for our farmers and strong support for our rural communities. https://t.co/tW7YXbfVH7 — PolitiTweet.org

While it’s unfortunate @SpeakerPelosi waited so long, I’m glad the House has finally acted on the #USMCA. Iowa’s farmers, manufacturers, and small biz have long called for this landmark trade agreement, and I’m thankful for @realdonaldtrump’s efforts to get a good deal in place. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I sent a letter to Attorney General Barr asking what prevented the DOJ from initiating this investigation more quickly, and asked for regular updates on the department's findings. https://t.co/iVlPe89Pqr — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Disturbing allegations of abuse at the Glenwood & Woodward Resource Centers deserve the full attention of the federal government. I appreciate @TheJusticeDept's attention to this situation; but, I'm also concerned by the delay in initiating this course of action. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As I traveled the state this year on my #99CountyTour, I heard from countless Iowans about intrusive & illegal robocalls. I’m glad the bipartisan TRACED Act, which I proudly supported and will help crack down on robocall scam artists, is on its way to @realdonaldtrump’s desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

When it comes to expanding broadband in #Iowa—especially in our rural areas—it’s crucial we have accurate data to know where resources are needed. I’m glad today legislation I’ve long supported passed the Senate to give the @FCC the tools to improve data & expand broadband in IA. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

We were guaranteed a deal in September, and we were assured of that same deal in October, yet @EPA rolled out, and has now finalized, a different proposal. It’s no wonder trust has been lost. My full statement: https://t.co/103WVtqY9T — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

After shaking hands in the Oval Office this fall, @EPA had an opportunity to restore the broken trust of farmers and to follow through on the president’s commitment, but it appears they’ve missed the mark…again. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I also applaud local law enforcement for their immediate and professional response and handling of the situation. My office and I will continue to be in touch with officials in the area. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

First and foremost, I’m relieved to hear everyone in the Camp Dodge and Johnston communities is safe and that no one was in danger today. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Congress passed bipartisan leg to combat the opioid crisis, & the Trump Admin has made this a top priority. We’ve seen results, but there’s more to be done, especially in rural communities. I called HHS & DEA officials before @senjudiciary & pressed them to find more solutions. https://t.co/0K975OZwQW — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As chair of @SASCMajority Subcommitee on Emerging Threats & Capabilities, I’m proud the final bipartisan #FY20NDAA increases research and development for key technologies like artificial intelligence, directed energy, and hypersonics to deter adversaries such as China and Russia. https://t.co/e91FOTHspm — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Rural communities like Hamburg, Iowa deserve the same flood protection as any other community across the country. My bipartisan bill ensures Iowa’s communities, regardless of their size, get the flood protection they need. https://t.co/gx8sMK15qG — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Coming forward as a survivor is not the end, it’s just the beginning. That’s why legislation like the bipartisan Debbie Smith Act, which I’m proud to support, is so important. This critical bill will remove roadblocks to justice for survivors of sexual violence. https://t.co/JlZ6xcQPzG — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Thank YOU! I will always fight for Iowa’s farmers and producers! — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

For 58 years, Congress has worked in an overwhelmingly bipartisan way to pass the annual defense bill, & I’m proud we have done it once again. This critical bill will ensure our men & women in uniform have the resources they need to defend our freedoms. https://t.co/CPOsZiEuc1 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

It’s great to see that the bipartisan National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility Act of 2019 has passed out of committee! NBAF is crucial to help #Iowa’s farmers protect and preserve our nation’s food supply, and I’m proud to be a cosponsor. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

3/3 I’m calling on my colleagues to support extension of the #BiodieselTaxCredit and provide biofuel producers—in Iowa and across the county—with stability, and spur even more economic investment in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

2/3 After working closely with @ChuckGrassley and @realDonaldTrump’s Administration, we’ve successfully included this incentive for biodiesel producers in the end of year package. This really is a great win for Iowans. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

1/3 Renewable fuels are a real American success story – increasing energy security and enhancing value-added agriculture. One important way to keep the biofuels industry growing is for Congress to extend the #BiodieselTaxCredit. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

This year's bipartisan defense bill includes a number of my priorities that will directly impact all Americans and bolster our national security so that we are outpacing and maintaining a strategic advantage against our adversaries. https://t.co/vZhYAV9yvP https://t.co/8KRNDcI45Z — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Having worn our nation’s uniform, I take seriously the responsibility we have to provide our servicemembers with the support, authorities, and resources they need to carry out their mission. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

It was great to sit down with Senator-designate Kelly Loeffler this morning, and while we will miss @SenatorIsakson, I’m excited to have her join me and my colleagues in the Senate and continue our work for the American people. https://t.co/Iadzk7wwmm — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

🚨 SOON: I’m chairing a @SenJudiciary hearing focused on tackling the opioid crisis across our country, including the methamphetamine crisis in #Iowa. Tune in to watch live 📺: https://t.co/9qQbjYPceD — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As we wrap up 2019, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to: ✅ Help Iowa’s farmers & producers ✅ Support communities impacted by flooding ✅ Lower costs of health care & Rx drugs ✅ Get trade deals finalized I look forward to continue fighting relentlessly for Iowans. https://t.co/PHcDNHkUxn — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

We should expect, and demand, the highest standard of care for #Iowa’s veterans & those across the nation. My bipartisan bill builds on my effort to ensure the VA is held accountable for who they’re hiring to provide treatment & care to our veterans. https://t.co/212e5MEqJL — PolitiTweet.org
