Truth Prevails in Iowa

Republican Joni Ernst has been struggling to keep a new Democratic ad off the air, arguing that it's "demonstrably false." The only problem? It's completely accurate.

An Iowa television station has decided to continue running the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ad, "Gone." It holds Ernst, a GOP state senator who is running for U.S. Senate, accountable for supporting tax breaks for corporations that ship American jobs overseas. Today, more than 20,000 Iowa jobs have been lost to outsourcing.

"Joni Ernst even signed a pledge to protect their special tax breaks," the narrator says, "instead of protecting us."

Ernst is running against Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley to replace retiring Senator Tom Harkin. Braley opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and other bad trade deals that send jobs out of the country.

If you're in Iowa, volunteer to get the word out on the differences between these candidates.
