Iowa values missing in Washington

Joni Ernst understands Iowa values. She knows these values are more important than the Washington, D.C. experience in this election. She sees Iowa values as a dedication to hard work, keeping your word and putting responsibility to others above yourself.
These attributes are almost non-existent in Washington, D.C. She learned these values through her dedication to serving more than 20 years in the National Guard and dedication to her family.
She cannot change Washington, D.C., culture alone, but if we send enough people like Ernst to represent us, we will see better days and a brighter future.
