Representative Fisher, in announcing his endorsement of Ernst, stated, “I am endorsing Joni Ernst for the United States Senate because I am confident that she will be a strong conservative voice for Iowa in Washington. Joni’s resume is filled with accomplishments. Her rank as a Lt. Colonel in the National Guard demonstrates that she has the experience and leadership skills that will serve Iowa well in the U.S. Senate. Joni has demonstrated in the Iowa Senate that she will stay true to her conservative values. We need someone with courage and strong conservative values in Washington now more than ever, and Joni Ernst is that person.”
In response, Ernst stated, “It is truly an honor to have the endorsement of Representative Dean Fisher. Representative Fisher is a dedicated and valued leader in the state legislature who is devoted to the concerns of his constituents. It is a privilege to have him on my team and I look forward to campaigning in eastern Iowa with him.”
