Ernst values are needed

Joni Ernst learned early the values of hard work and thrift working on her family's farm. The lifelong Iowan has successfully applied those values serving as an officer in the Iowa National Guard and as a state senator.
She knows that to lead you must serve. She has not cast aside and ignored those with whom she has served.
Knowledge of the law applied to intimidate individuals and foster mass dependency is no virtue. She has applied her values crafting legislation enabling Iowans to achieve to the best of their individual abilities.
Her Iowa values and dedication to service are sorely needed in Washington. Electing Ernst to the U.S. Senate will serve the common good of Iowa and the nation.
