Senator Joni Ernst said she would make the special interests “squeal,” but now Washington is as broken as ever, and Ernst has changed — forgetting Iowa and selling out to the corporate interests.
Here’s the story that needs to sink in for Iowans: after her last campaign, the Federal Election Commission found that Ernst’s campaign knowingly and illegally accepted $132,000 in prohibited and excessive campaign contributions, including illegal contributions from corporations. The campaign was forced to pay the largest penalty ever for an Iowa politician. Now, the Associated Press has reported that Ernst potentially broke anti-corruption laws by illegally coordinating with a dark money group created by her top political aides to boost her re-election.
