Senator Joni Ernst: Dedicated to Supporting American Small Businesses Amidst Challenges

Senator Joni Ernst, the Ranking Member of the Senate Small Business Committee, has been dedicated to supporting small businesses throughout her time in office. In a recent video celebrating National Small Business Week, she highlighted the resilience of Main Street businesses in the face of challenges brought on by the Biden administration.

Ernst is currently leading a bipartisan resolution recognizing the important contributions of small businesses across the country. Throughout her career, she has advocated for initiatives that benefit small businesses, including improving access to child care and supporting veteran entrepreneurs. She has also worked to push back against risky lending rules imposed by the Biden administration.

In Iowa, Ernst has worked on legislation such as the Stop Stolen Valor for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Contractors Act, the Small Business Child Care Investment Act, the Prove It Act, and the SCORE Act. These initiatives aim to address specific challenges faced by small businesses, such as closing loopholes in federal contracting and increasing access to affordable child care.

Despite facing numerous obstacles from the Biden administration, Senator Ernst remains committed to advocating for American entrepreneurs and supporting job creation through her work on the Small Business Committee.
