Our first ad exposes Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) for the votes she has taken to confirm many of these nominees.

These days, it feels like the only thing in the news is the coronavirus. That’s one of the dangers of a pandemic: It can take over everything and hide the fact that there are still other vitally important fights happening.
