June 3, 2014
To God be the glory. Don’t ever forget that God had His hand on this campaign from the day we announced to the day we humbly accept this nomination. There are a whole lot of people that I need to thank. I am going to forget some of them tonight, but you all know that I love you so charge it to my head and not my heart. I first have to apologize to Sean because he wrote me a fantastic speech. He wrote me two speeches. One was a […]

Good evening. I’m Joni Ernst. As a mother, a soldier, and a newly elected senator from the great State of Iowa, I am proud to speak with you tonight. A few moments ago, we heard the President lay out his vision for the year to come. Even if we may not always agree, it’s important to hear different points of view in this great country. We appreciate the President sharing his. Tonight though, rather than respond to a speech, I’d like to talk about your priorities. I’d like to have […]

Stump Speech - April 8, 2010
April 8, 2010
I want to tell you a little bit about myself, and then we’ll go into why I’m running and then let you ask some questions because it’s more interesting to hear from you than it is from me. I was born and raised in the small town of Bamberg, which, if any of you know where that is, it is a small little town that you couldn’t think about doing something wrong without somebody already calling and telling your mom. It was a great place to grow up because we […]

Good morning, everybody. It's a bright day, yes. As Little Shelley said, "Today is my 29th birthday plus 30." Today is my 59th birthday. I was actually born on Thanksgiving. My brother and sister are here, probably ruined by brother's day because he got a little sister. When I was born on Thanksgiving Day, my parents always said that they were going to name me Thankful Evermore. They didn't, but I am thankful evermore today for all of you, for many of the faces I see in the crowd today […]
