Stefan Minovici met today during lunch with Senator Joni Earnest (R-IW).
A native of Red Oak, Senator Joni Ernst has dedicated her life to her state and country, having served in the military for over 23 years, and now serving in the United States Senate.
Joni serves today in the following Committees:
Armed Services
Homeland Security and Government Affairs
Emerging Threats and Capabilities (Chair)
Cybersecurity
Personnel
Conservation, Forestry, Natural Resources, and Biotechnology
Born and raised on a farm in Montgomery County, Joni’s parents instilled in her the values important to Iowans: hard work, service, and sacrifice. After graduating from the top of her class at Stanton High School, Joni went on to Iowa State University where she joined the university’s ROTC program.
In November 2014—after her service in the Army Reserves and the Iowa National Guard, and then in state government—Joni was elected as the first woman to serve in federal elected office from the State of Iowa and also became the first female combat veteran elected to serve in the United States Senate.
In Washington, Joni is working to grow a strong economy; stand up for Iowa farmers, families, and small businesses; hold Washington accountable, ensure a strong national defense, and support our veterans.
As a mother, soldier and independent voice, Joni is committed to bringing Iowa values to Washington, D.C. and to always fighting on behalf of families and communities in our state.
Stefan and Joni discussed current issues regarding the war in Ukraine, Romania’s elections fiasco and new role of the United Staes in Southeastern Europe.
The RABC remains fully committed to its support for the Senator Ernst, on her next electoral campaign.
