Ernst Says Vote on Elections Bill Shows Democrats Prioritize Washington Politicians, Ignore Needs of American Families

Ernst noted that her experience as a local commissioner of elections reinforced her trust in state and local officials—including Democrats, Republicans, and Independents—more than the federal government to run elections.
