The race for Joni Ernst's (R) Senate seat is one of the races to watch this election as Theresa Greenfield (D) tries to flip the seat. The race is one of the eight races categorized by RealClearPolitics as a toss up and millions of dollars have gone into the race on both sides of the aisle.
On July 15th, Greenfield tweeted a new ad highlighting Joni Ernst's history with campaign finance laws, saying that “Joni Ernst was caught knowingly accepting illegal contributions from corporations and had to pay the largest penalty EVER for an Iowa politician.”
In their filing in 2017, the FEC levied a $14,500 civil penalty against the Joni for Iowa campaign and its treasurer for having “received excessive and prohibited contributions totaling $37,190.00 for the 2014 General Election” from 26 individuals, one partnership, one multicandidate political action committee, one nonmulticandidate political action committee and three corporations.
