JONI ERNST FOR U.S. SENATE FROM IOWA

If Nebraska’s Deb Fischer can see through the bull in Washington, then Iowa’s Joni Ernst can help her cut through the pork. Growing up on a hog farm in Southwest Iowa, Joni has taken her “pork cutting” skills to the Iowa State Senate where she has been a champion for life, small government, and lower taxes – voting for the largest tax cut in Iowa history. In Washington, she has pledged to defund Obamacare, limit the size of government, and protect life. As a concealed weapon license holder, she will fight to defend our Second Amendment rights – the NRA has given her an “A” rating.

Joni is a veteran of the Iraq war and continues her service as a Lt. Colonel in the Iowa Army National Guard. She’s been a fighter for freedom both in and out of uniform. Iowa – come together and send this Midwest Mama Grizzly roaring to Washington on her Harley so she can join with the good guys to get our country back on track!

Any question about the type of Senator Joni will be? Check out her first ad – she makes it pretty clear: http://youtu.be/p9Y24MFOfFU

Poll: Joni Ernst Takes Lead in Iowa GOP Senate Primary

4:13 PM, APR 9, 2014 • BY JOHN MCCORMACK

A new Suffolk University poll of the Iowa GOP Senate primary shows state senator Joni Ernst narrowly leading wealthy business executive Mark Jacobs:

In the smaller subset of June Republican Primary voters, State Sen. Joni Ernst, who has been tagged the “castration candidate” due to her TV ad that includes a matter-of-fact reference to growing up on an Iowa hog farm, is leading businessman Mark Jacobs 25 percent to 23 percent. Radio show host Sam Clovis (7 percent), former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker (4 percent), and Navy veteran Scott Schaben (1 percent) trail the front-runners, while 40 percent of primary voters remain undecided. Although within the statistical margin of error, this is the first public poll showing Ernst leading in the GOP Primary.

With only a 2-point lead and a plurality of voters undecided, the June 3 primary is a toss-up. But this poll is a big improvement for Ernst, who was trailing Jacobs by 7 points before airing her first TV ad.

Joni Ernst Now in Dead Heat with Bruce Braley

The U.S. Senate race in Iowa is now in a dead heat after Republican candidate Joni Ernst secured a primary win on Tuesday, according to a recent poll by Rasmussen Reports.

Ernst—a state senator and Iraq War veteran who still serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Iowa Army National Guard—received 45 percent support in the poll, while Rep. Bruce Braley (D., Iowa) garnered 44 percent. The survey of 750 likely Iowa voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.

The poll indicates a bump in support for Ernst, who trailed Braley by about 7 percentage points in early April, according to a survey at the time by Suffolk University.

Braley has faced a torrent of criticism in recent weeks from Republicans who say he is elitist and out of touch with Iowa voters. He called Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) “a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school” at a January fundraiser—comments that rankled many in the farmer-heavy state—and committed other missteps such as misspelling basic Iowa farming terms in a press release and pasting a photo of an English fruit farm to his Facebook page.

He has also been criticized for accepting thousands in donations from the national trial lawyers’ lobby and advocating for their interests in Congress.

Additionally, critics have decried Braley’s latest ad as sexist and misleading. The ad features a baby chick and says that “we didn’t hear a peep” from Ernst while she has been in the state senate about cutting spending.

“Imagine if a GOP candidate had used a ‘chick’ in an ad against a female opponent,” tweeted Tim Hagle, political scientist at the University of Iowa.
