U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) today welcomed Iowa’s senior senator, U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), back to the Senate. Ernst noted that whether he’s in his office in DC, his farm in Iowa, or teleworking because of the virus, he never stops working for Iowans.
Ernst also called on Congress to work together to complete important initiatives by the end of the year—passing the annual defense bill, the National Defense Authorization Act, and additional COVID-19 relief to support families and businesses struggling during the ongoing pandemic.
