(DES MOINES) – In response to failed congressional and state house candidate Eddie Mauro’s blatantly false attacks on Senator Ernst, Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement:

“Eddie Mauro’s corrupt, dark-money machine is already launching disingenuous attacks on Senator Ernst. Despite the ad’s claims, tax cuts have unleashed unprecedented economic growth, and Senator Ernst continues cutting pork in Washington — most recently exposing failed billion-dollar government projects. Meanwhile, Mauro’s far-left comrades are embracing socialist programs that would cost taxpayers trillions. Iowans overwhelmingly approve of Senator Ernstand the results she has delivered, and no blatantly false, desperate smears will change this fact.”
