Mitt Romney is returning to Iowa for the first time since the 2012 general election to stump for U.S. Senate candidate Joni Ernst (R), the Des Moines Register reports.
“The five-way GOP race for Iowa’s rare open U.S. Senate seat is down to Joni Ernst, a hog-castrating, Harley-riding combat veteran, versus Mark Jacobs, a millionaire retired investment banker and energy industry CEO, several polls have shown. The vote is in 12 days, on Tuesday, June 3.”
