This afternoon, I’m joining my colleagues on the #Senate floor to speak on the importance of passing the #USMCAnow. Tune in at around 2:25 ET: https://t.co/yoosX64CMe — PolitiTweet.org

1 in 5 jobs in Iowa is tied directly to trade. And with Canada & Mexico being two of our biggest trading partners, the USMCA is a HUGE deal for Iowa. — PolitiTweet.org

At the Holiday Inn & Suites in Ames, we had a great discussion on the work their organization is doing to recognize & prevent human trafficking. We must continue to work together in our communities in Iowa, and across the US, to stop this epidemic. #99CountyTour https://t.co/ovO9hOVsiB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn McDole was a true patriot who served his state & country for over 50 years—in the Marine Corps during WWII, in the Iowa State Patrol, and in the Polk County Sheriff’s office. I was humbled to present his daughters, Kathy and Glenda, with the awards he so deserves. https://t.co/8Zhf1QXAPS — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

After a busy week in Washington, it’s always good to be back in Iowa on my #99CountyTour. At my Ringgold County town hall this morning, we had a robust discussion on a number of issues, including trade, education, immigration reform, & E15. Thanks to all who joined! https://t.co/gwUBUr7Ici — PolitiTweet.org

After growing up with siblings who have Type 1 diabetes, I understand the challenges those with juvenile diabetes face every day. It was great to meet with these young Iowa advocates, and I’ll continue to be a voice for them in Congress. https://t.co/p89LqcPWPY — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI Ernst says: EPA’s proposed volume standards don’t consider impact of small refinery exemptions https://t.co/uKGIpoymbn — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

In many ways, the access provided by the internet is greatly beneficial, but it also serves as a platform for those who want to exploit our children. We need to protect our children from online predators, & as part of @SenJudiciary, I’m working to find ways to do just that. https://t.co/xR34T0PCkf — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

We’ve got some great bills here in the Senate – bills from both Republicans and Democrats – that can help lower drug prices, increase competition, and close loopholes. It’s time for Congress to come together and deliver results. Iowans are counting on us. https://t.co/GNlvtNkTkK — PolitiTweet.org

It’s #SweetCornDay! And I don’t think anyone can argue that Iowa sweet 🌽 is the best out there. How do you prepare your sweet corn? — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Let’s build on this effort and continue working together - in a bipartisan way - to get these bills and others across the finish line and signed into law. Iowans are counting on us. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

We here in Congress have a responsibility to take action, to give folks a voice, and to make sure no family is ever forced to choose between making a mortgage payment and purchasing their medications. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’m proud to lead on three such bills that were recently approved in committee. https://t.co/OZs7dNbt4B — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

We’ve been hard at work in the Senate – advancing bills to drive down drug prices, increase competition, and close costly loopholes being exploited by bad actors. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

For too long, hardworking Iowans have borne the brunt of skyrocketing prescription drug prices. Stories like the man from Cedar Falls and the woman from Davenport have become the norm. We’ve got to change that. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Here’s another story a woman from Davenport, Iowa shared with me. Last October, she was able to get her three-month-supply of blood pressure medication for $17. But when she went to the pharmacy for her refill in late December, she was told the price had nearly tripled to $55. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

That’s right. He must choose between making a mortgage payment and getting his prescription. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I recently received a letter from a gentleman living in Cedar Falls, Iowa who suffers from Parkinson’s disease. As I speak, he is going without his $1,450 per month Lyrica prescription in order to keep a roof over his head. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

On my #99CountyTour & in my office in DC, I constantly hear from Iowans about the importance of lowering health care costs. Soon, I’ll be speaking on the #Senate floor on the work I’m doing to drive down the costs of Rx drugs. Tune in: https://t.co/yoosX64CMe https://t.co/L8JM7dwrhq — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

In my meeting with the @EthanolRFA Board of Directors, we discussed @EPAGov’s habit of handing out ‘so-called’ small refinery waivers like candy 🍬 . My RFS Integrity Act will increase transparency in this process—which is essential to maintain a robust RFS for Iowa's producers. https://t.co/LQoX7kc5Dz — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Throughout my #99CountyTour, I consistently hear about: trade & Rx drug prices. 1) Mexico has ratified #USMCA, & Canada is moving. It’s time we follow. 2) Iowans shouldn’t have to choose btwn paying for a Rx vs. a mortgage. I'm working to lower cost of prescription drugs. https://t.co/aRU9B5JaRL — PolitiTweet.org

Expanded access to broadband in Iowa is critical to helping our businesses & communities grow, especially in our rural areas. @FCC is a key partner in achieving this—it’s important their data & maps are accurate. Read my letter with @ChuckGrassley to @AjitPaiFCC: https://t.co/cRZrlERxwY — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Thanks to pro-growth policies, the US economy continues to pull workers off the sidelines and create more opportunities for Iowa families and small businesses. In June, the economy added 224,000 jobs and unemployment remained near a 50-year low. https://t.co/AcEFIynvA9 — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI, last week I continued to travel across Iowa on my #99CountyTour. Check out some of the stops from the last few days 👇 https://t.co/PFvd9YrjP0 — PolitiTweet.org

The Rock Island Arsenal is a large employer of #Iowans, and I’m proud to say the #FY20NDAA sustains and enhances its workload. https://t.co/j41JmT6ysc — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As a former company commander, I know how important it is to make sure our military members & their families are properly cared for, and I worked to ensure provisions were included in #FY20NDAA to provide them additional support. https://t.co/5CEGuql8TU — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The #FY20NDAA invests in research & development for key technologies like artificial intelligence, directed energy, & hypersonics. This is crucial to deter adversaries like China & Russia. https://t.co/hp8sUUIDf8 — PolitiTweet.org
