“After four years of weakness in the White House, President Trump is hard at work renewing the American dream,” said Senator Ernst. “Already, this president has stood up for hardworking taxpayers by putting an end to wasteful spending and making government more efficient. By cutting the red tape and unleashing the potential of our small businesses, farmers, and workers, the Golden Age of America is within reach. He has taken steps to restore peace through strength and protect the lives of our citizens. President Trump took bold action this year and made my Sarah’s Law the law of the land, proving he will always protect Iowans and all Americans. Under President Trump and Republicans’ bold agenda, the future for every American is brighter.”
