(Brunsville) — Republican U-S Senator Joni Ernst completed her 99 county tour of Iowa with her final stop at Plymouth County. Ernst held a town hall meeting at the American Legion Hall at Brunsville on Saturday. More than 50 people attended the forum to ask questions, and to listen to the Senator’s comments ranging from healthcare to agriculture and from gun suppressors, to federal funding for mentally challenged people, and even a question regarding Ernst’s stance on DACA or better known as the “Dreamers Act” which allows children of illegal immigrants the opportunity to become U-S citizens. Ernst spoke for just over an hour. After the town hall forum, Ernst informed the news media that there are bi-partisan efforts to again address the nation’s healthcare program. She says she has visited with President Trump administration staff people about the importance of having a stop-gap measure for Iowans healthcare needs.
Ernst says action has started within the Senate to again address the concerns associated with the nation’s healthcare issues.
The Iowa Republican Senator says she supports President Trump’s move to discontinue the Iranian nuclear agreement.
One person attending Saturday’s town hall forum, held up flash cards in front of Senator Ernst indicating whether she agreed with the Senator, or disagreed with the Senator’s views. Senator Ernst says she appreciated the gentle nature of the gathering. She noted there were people expressing opinions for both sides of issues.
