Iowa U.S. Senator Joni Ernst is taking some credit for a decision by the Majority Leader Tuesday to cancel at least the first two weeks of the Senate's August recess.
The Iowa Republican says she joined nine other GOP Senators in an appeal to Leader Mitch McConnell to stay and work through the scheduled recess.
Senator Ernst says with so much left to do, it's "time to get results for the American people".
Some of the issues Senators are facing include: "fixing health care, funding the government, dealing with the debt ceiling, passing a budget resolution and improving...the tax code".
