Senator Joni Ernst made a stop in Knoxville Wednesday. Senator Ernst spoke to a crowd of close to 40 people at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum during the Marion County Republican Central Committees’ Summer Fundraiser. The Senator spoke about many issues facing Iowa and the country as well as the upcoming election and her bid for reelection. She finished her speech by imploring her constituents to continue to get the Republican message out and to defend against accusations and nonsense. The fundraiser also included a meal as well as a silent auction to help raise funds for the committee.
