Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst released a new campaign ad Wednesday pledging to clean up the Washington pig sty while embracing her reputation as a "hog castrator" after her first ad featuring hogs was released in May.
"It's a mess--dirty, noisy, and it stinks," Ernst said. "Not this lot--I'm talking about the one in Washington."
Ernst refrained from attacking her opponent Bruce Braley (D., Iowa) and instead focused on the "typical politicians" in Washington hogging and wasting taxpayer dollars.
"It's time to stop spending money we don't have and balance the budget," Ernst said. "Cleaning up the mess in Washington is going to take a whole lot of Iowa common sense."
