Today, Governor Kim Reynolds issued the following statement after Sen. Joni Ernst announced she will not seek re-election for a third term in the U.S. Senate:
"Joni is a dear friend who cares deeply about serving her fellow Iowans. Her years of dedicated public service in county, state, and federal government, as well as her distinguished military career, are a testament to her dedication to Iowa and our great country. Joni will be missed in Congress, and Kevin and I wish her and her family the best in this next chapter."
