Ernst Pushes for Congress to Finalize Trade Deals, Lower Prescription Drug Prices
Following a week of traveling across Iowa on her 99 County Tour, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) spoke about two of the major issues she heard from Iowans: trade and prescription drugs prices. In her visits to manufacturing plants and at town hall meetings, Senator Ernst heard from constituents on the importance of passing the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Ernst noted that Mexico has already ratified the trade agreement, and Canada is in the process of doing the same. Now it’s time for Congress to get this deal done.
Senator Ernst also highlighted the importance of lowering the prices of prescription drug costs for Iowans, and all Americans. Back in Iowa, she heard from families who were forced to choose between purchasing their prescription drugs and making a mortgage or car payment.
