Joni, do your job you are being paid to do.
You represent Iowa.
You are NOT Trump’s Social Director.
Didn’t Senator Ernst run on a populist platform? Iowa is a purple state which went Republican for the Presidential race last year due to Trump’s appeal to voters who felt disenfranchised. In our modern age of instant communication, why must the President be parked in the White House most of the time? For that matter, why do we need Congressmen and Senators to be at a central location in Washington? The technology exists to allow them to participate from an office or even a residence within their district or state. The Capitol building could be turned into a museum with back office space for the functions of the legislative branch. If the Congressmen and Senators had to work and live in their home districts or states, they may be less likely to become creatures of the swamp.
