Is Ernst married/mother?

[Frustratedlady]

I have never seen an ad with her husband/children (if she has them) and decided she must be single.

1. from Wikipedia

"Ernst resides in Red Oak, Iowa with her husband, Gail, a Command Sergeant Major in the Army Rangers (retired) and their daughter, Libby."

3. Hmmm! I wonder why she never shows them in her ads?

Most candidates have a few ads where their spouse and/or family members are shown. I think I saw one ad with her parents.

2. I checked wikipedia and at the bottom was this:

Ernst resides in Red Oak, Iowa with her husband, Gail, a Command Sergeant Major in the Army Rangers (retired) and their daughter, Libby.[2][12]

4. Thanks. I forget about Wikipedia.

Just found it odd she didn't have them in her ads.

5. I've heard of stay at home moms (I was one) but she's a stay away mom.

7. I didn't keep that close of track of her campaign, but what little I did see, she...

never mentioned her family.

I believe she mentioned her parents more than anyone else, and that was the lie about how she'd protect SS and Medicare.

Right!

6. She married an Enlisted Man

I wonder if she was Fraternizing while on Active Duty.

8. After hearing her first ad about her having experience cutting pork, I'd think

that if that was a bragging point over the years, it would tend to turn off any romantic vibes...even back before she married.

Men tend to cross their legs when the subject arises. No pun intended.

Vote early and vote often. Sounds like we may need it.

9. As much as I detest Joni Ernst and want her as far away from the Senate as possible

Perhaps she just wants to keep her family out of the media/public spotlight and protect their privacy? According to that same article on Wikipedia, she has mentioned her husband and his service in Saudi Arabia during the campaign
