Ernst is the junior United States Senator from Iowa and the first female veteran, from any state, to serve in the United States Senate. Prior to her political career, Ernst Ernst served as logistics officer and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard. She also served as the commanding officer of the 185th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion at Camp Dodge, which is the largest battalion in the Iowa Army National Guard. Ernst has served 23 years total between the Army Reserve and the Army National Guard, and spent 14 months in Kuwait between 2003–04 as a company commander during the Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Ernst’s military service and her fiery brand of conservatism would make her a strong opponent to Clinton, and would likely unite the GOP and attract moderate and independent women voters. Ernst, like Haley, delivered the official Republican response to the State of the Union (in 2015).
