Grimes, IA - Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Iowa today endorsed State Senator Joni Ernst (R-Red Oak) for Iowa's open U.S. Senate seat.

"Our state needs Joni Ernst fighting for us in Washington, D.C.," said Jeremy Price, President of Hiawatha-based Price Industrial Electric and first vice chairman of the ABC of Iowa Board of Directors. "Her record of producing results as a State Senator can be counted on to roll back job-killing regulations like Obamacare and champion reforms that create jobs and grow our economy."

"Ernst's pro-growth record makes her the best candidate for the job," said Price. "She has an impressive record working tirelessly at the state level to balance Iowa's budget, lower taxes, provide relief from regulatory overreach, allow for greater competition and support worker freedom. Joni's experience as a conservative leader in Iowa means she will hit the ground running to reform government and stand up for Iowa taxpayers."

"Iowa families are better off thanks to Joni Ernst and we stand proudly behind her in the U.S. Senate election," said Greg Spenner, ABC of Iowa president. "We look forward to seeing her proven experience in balancing budgets, fighting for jobs, and supporting fair competition put to use in the U.S. Senate to benefit and grow our state and national economy."
