NLBMDA taps Iowa senator for LegCon

An upcoming conference of lumber dealers in the nation’s capital will include a presentation from Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA). She will be a featured speaker at the Washington Briefing Breakfast during the 2018 Spring Meeting and Legislative Conference.

Ernst is not only the first woman to serve in federal elected office from the state of Iowa, she’s also the first female combat veteran elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. In Washington, Ernst serves on four Senate committees: Armed Services; Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry; Environment and Public Works; and Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

“Sen. Ernst is focused on growing a vibrant economy and ensuring the government runs effectively and efficiently, which means cutting out-of-control spending, reducing taxes, eliminating harmful regulations and balancing the budget,” said the NLBMDA, in the announcement of her participation in the event.

Early bird registration for the conference ends Feb. 23. For more information. The conference swings into action with visits to Capitol Hill and federal agencies March 19-21.
