U.S. Senator Joni Ernst posted a series of updates on March 26, 2026, highlighting her views on women’s sports, promoting an upcoming business event at Iowa State University, and making a lighthearted comment about Iowa’s corn expertise.

In her first post at 20:41 UTC, Ernst celebrated a development in women’s athletics: “Yes! This is a huge win in protecting the integrity of women’s sports that inspire so many girls and fans around the world.”

Later that evening at 21:31 UTC, she announced an initiative to support local entrepreneurs: “I’m excited to host my fourth Entrepreneur Expo on June 30th @IowaStateU to connect Iowa small businesses with federal opportunities! Folks who are interested can learn more and get registered here: https://t.co/oOgQw1J0MN See you there!”

At 21:33 UTC, Ernst referenced regional agricultural pride with a brief statement: “Just a reminder that Iowa knows corn better than Nebraska…”

Senator Ernst has served over two decades in the Iowa Army National Guard and was the first woman from Iowa elected to federal office. She holds degrees from Iowa State University and Columbus State University. Her office provides assistance to Iowans dealing with federal agencies such as Social Security and veterans benefits (official website). Ernst grew up on a family farm in Montgomery County, reflecting values of hard work and service instilled by her parents.
