Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) officially announced Tuesday that she will not run for a third six-year term next year.

“It has been an honor to dedicate my life to the service of our great state and country,” Ernst, 55, said in a video message, adding that after her family had given her “so much love and support” during her career in the military and public service, “it’s my time for me to give back to them.”

“After a tremendous amount of prayer and reflection, I will not be seeking re-election in 2026,” she confirmed before touting her accomplishments over a decade-plus in office. ...

DES MOINES, Iowa — (AP) — U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst said Tuesday that she will not seek reelection next year, confirming in a video post on social media that she will retire after months of speculation about her plans.

The Republican senator's announcement opens up a Senate seat in the state known for its long-serving incumbents. Rep. Ashley Hinson, representing Iowa’s northeastern congressional district, announced Tuesday that she would seek the GOP nomination. ...

Two Republicans — former state Sen. Jim Carlin and veteran Joshua Smith — had already entered the Senate primary intending to challenge Ernst. ...

Just hours later, Hinson joined conservative talk radio host Simon Conway to announce her candidacy.

“I’m running to be President Trump’s top ally in the United States Senate because we have to be working on continuing to deliver that America First agenda that is working for Iowans every single day,” she told Conway. ...

"Rep. Ashley Hinson, representing Iowa’s northeastern congressional district, announced Tuesday that she would seek the GOP nomination."

No.
Not another weak-willed woman who will "go soft" sooner rather than later.

Aren't there any right-leaning white guys interested in the job ??
