Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D., a U.S. Congress member representing Iowa's 1st district since 2021, recently shared her thoughts on several issues via social media. Miller-Meeks has been an advocate for Iowa's agricultural sector and is actively involved in legislative efforts to enhance manufacturing jobs in the state.

On June 9, 2025, Rep. Miller-Meeks expressed her support for Iowa's farmers, stating "Iowa’s farmers are the backbone of our economy. I’ll always stand with them and fight for their future." This statement underscores her commitment to advocating for the agricultural community within her constituency.

Later that day, she posted another tweet without additional text but included a link here, suggesting further engagement or information related to her ongoing initiatives or interests.

In a subsequent post on the same day, Rep. Miller-Meeks highlighted progress on her bipartisan Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act. She noted that it had passed in the House and emphasized its importance by saying "With @SenJoniErnst championing it in the Senate, it’s time to get this across the finish line, get it signed into law, and bring more good paying manufacturing jobs to Iowa!" The act aims to bolster manufacturing opportunities within Iowa through legislative support.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks was born in Herlong, California in 1955 and currently resides in Le Claire. She holds a BSN from Texas Christian University obtained in 1976 and has served previously in the Iowa Senate from 2019 until taking office as a U.S. Congress member.
