U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) recently wrapped up her 10th annual River to River Tour after visiting all 99 Iowa counties. Ernst concluded the tour earlier this month, marking a decade of connecting directly with Iowans to bring their perspectives to the nation’s capital. Ernst says, “This tour allows me to bring Iowans’ voices, concerns, and challenges to the Senate and work toward commonsense solutions and to ensure our government is of the people, by the people, and for the people.” This year’s tour focused on agriculture, small businesses, and education. Ernst held town hall meetings in dozens of counties, met with farmers to discuss the upcoming Farm Bill, and honored small businesses with her “Small Business of the Week” award. Ernst also prioritized disaster relief, visiting communities affected by spring floods and tornadoes, and advocated for rural education access, meeting with students and families. Ernst will begin her 10th year as Iowa’s junior U.S. senator in 2025.
