On June 9, 2025, Rep.

The following day, June 10, she voiced her position on fiscal policies concerning sanctuary cities by stating "Sanctuary cities should not be subsidized by American taxpayers."

Later that same day, Rep. Miller-Meeks highlighted her support for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act with a focus on expanding financial support for families through tax credits. She stated "Raising a family is the most important job I’ve ever had. That’s why I’m proud the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expands the Child Tax Credit to $2,500 per child, helping Iowa parents put food on the table and invest in their children’s future."
