election year Ernst - new website that lists how Ernst FAILS Iowans

https://www.electionyearernst.com/

Here is an example:

Making Iowans Squeal
As Election Year Ernst returns to her signature broken promise – to "make Washington squeal" – nothing could be further from her real record of billion-dollar bailouts for big corporations and the wealthiest CEOs in Washington.

On Senator Ernst's watch, corporate-sponsored corruption has only strengthened its stranglehold over our broken political system. While Senator Ernst cashes in campaign checks from corporate special interests, Iowans' hard-earned tax dollars are doled out to the very wealthiest of her Wall Street and big corporate donors.

Here’s Senator Ernst’s real record:

Voted twice for a $500 billion corporate slush fund that could allow companies to fire workers while boosting CEO bonuses and buying back millions of dollars in stocks.

Campaigns on the 2017 GOP Tax Scam that’s adding $2 trillion to the debt, while Iowa jobs moved overseas and Main Street businesses were left behind.

Rubber-stamped million-dollar massive tax breaks for Washington's wealthiest politicians.

Opened the government's bank for the special interests pouring millions into her campaign, including:

Wall Street, which has contributed over $2 million to Ernst's campaign as the 2017 Tax Scam handed banks a "windfall" of $26 billion.

Big Pharma, which has contributed over $160,000 to Ernst while profiting at least $7 billion from the 2017 Tax Scam and leveraging the law for nearly $70 billion in stock buybacks.

Big Oil, which has contributed $420,000 to Ernst and is earning nearly $15 billion from the GOP Tax Scam.

Joni Ernst is a fraud. She is a vapid know nothing who has demonstrated over and over that she is not a leader. She is a follower who does what Grassley and McConnell instruct her to do.

She claimed she was going to Washington to "make them squeal." All she has accomplished is showing Iowans that she is a dumb ass back bencher who needs to be voted out of office.

She's going to be much the same and will just do what the GOP dumb fuck leadership in the House tells her to do if she wins. Resulting in IA-1 having no representation in the House cause she'll be too busy doing what the GOP says.
