“I could not be prouder to have the support of one of the finest legislators in the Iowa House,” said Ernst. She added, “Rob is not only a dedicated public servant, he is a skilled business operator and a devoted family man. Over the course of his first legislative session, he has already earned a reputation for integrity and hard work on behalf of his constituents.”
In announcing his endorsement, Representative Taylor said, “As a mother, soldier and conservative, Joni has what it takes to defeat Bruce Braley next year and then bring her common-sense Iowa values to Washington D.C. I have seen firsthand the level of dedication Joni has in ensuring that government spends less and returns more dollars to hard-working Iowa taxpayers– as evidenced by her support in helping pass the largest tax cut in state history,” said Representative Taylor. He added, “It is for these reasons and more that I enthusiastically endorse Joni Ernst for United States Senate.”
