A native of Red Oak, Iowa, Senator Joni Ernst has dedicated her life to her state and country, having served in the military for over 23 years, and now serving in the United States Senate. In November 2014—after her service in the Army Reserves and the Iowa National Guard, and then in state government—Joni was elected as the first woman to serve in federal elected office from the State of Iowa and also became the first female combat veteran elected to serve in the United States Senate. In Washington, Joni serves on four Senate committees of major importance to Iowans: Armed Services; Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry; Environment and Public Works; and Small Business and Entrepreneurship. As a mother, soldier and independent voice, Joni is committed to bringing Iowa values to Washington, D.C. and to always fight on behalf of families and communities in our state.
