IA-SEN: THERESA VISITS MEATPACKING PLANT, CALLS FOR MORE COVID RELIEF AND SUPPORT FOR US
While Senator Ernst faced severe local and national backlash from the medical community for pushing COVID-19 conspiracy theories, businesswoman Theresa Greenfield spent the week before Labor Day talking to workers and calling on Congress to get back to work to get Iowas working families the help they need.
Theresa also visited with workers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic including the meatpacking industry and the U.S. Postal Service to discuss the urgent work that still needs to be done to protect working families, small businesses, and communities across Iowa.
Rounding out the week, Theresa and identical twin sister Maria made their on-screen debut together in a new ad and an interview with Iowa Starting Line. Read about the busy week here:
Speaking up for more support for the Post Office with National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 512 President Tom Kinn:
Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier: You know, were just here today to talk a little bit about why it is so important that the U.S. Senate, and in particular Sen. Joni Ernst, get back to Washington and put politics aside and get to work to protect the Postal Service, Greenfield said during a virtual news conference. Ernst, she skipped town, and she should be in Washington right now doing her job to pass this critical legislation and more, Greenfield said. This really ticks me off, I have to tell you.
Iowa Feminist: Greenfield said Iowans are already facing delays and uncertainty at the post office. She emphasized that its particularly important for the post office to be timely with its deliveries for small business owners and for people who receive their medications through the mail. She also mentioned that almost 80 percent of Iowans cast absentee ballots safely by mail during the 2020 primary
Yet, Greenfield said, Ernst left Washington nearly a month ago without approving a phase four stimulus plan during the middle of the pandemic.
