Joni Ernst already broke a glass ceiling in her political career when in November 2014 she became the first female U.S. Senator to represent Iowa.

Before that, she served in the Army reserves, serving as a company commander in Iraq and Kuwait and then retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Iowa Army National Guard.

Senator Ernst has a fairly high profile, having sponsored pro-life legislation in Congress and giving the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union in 2015.
