Davenport, IA - Braley for Iowa Campaign Manager Sarah Benzing issued the following statement after tonight's US Senate debate:
"The difference tonight was clear: Bruce Braley sided with all Iowa families and Joni Ernst once again showed that she stands with millionaires, billionaires, and special interest groups.
"As voters are turning their focus to this campaign in the final stretch, they are learning more and more about Joni Ernst's plans to privatize Social Security and threaten guaranteed benefits, protect corporations that ship Iowa jobs overseas from paying their fair share in taxes, abolish federal student loans and make college less affordable for the middle class, and oppose a minimum wage increase that would give 300,000 Iowans a raise.
"But as Bruce said tonight, sound bites have consequences, and Joni Ernst's policies would hurt Iowa families. Iowa voters got a clear look at the two candidates tonight and Bruce Braley won this debate overwhelmingly by laying out his plans to break through the gridlock and fight for an economy that works for all Iowa families, not just the wealthiest few."
