Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D., a member of the U.S. Congress representing Iowa's 1st district, has been vocal about her support for the "One Big Beautiful Bill" through a series of tweets on July 2, 2025. Miller-Meeks replaced Dave Loebsack in Congress in 2021 and has been serving since then.

In a tweet posted at 21:49 UTC, Miller-Meeks highlighted several measures included in the bill aimed at securing the border permanently. She stated that it will "finish the border fence," "hire 10,000 new agents," "end catch and release," "deport criminal aliens," and "restore law and order."

Later that evening, at 22:21 UTC, she tweeted about another aspect of the bill concerning tax policy. The legislation aims to re-authorize the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanently, preventing what she describes as potentially "the largest tax hike in history" for Iowans.

Further reinforcing her stance on border security, Miller-Meeks tweeted again at 22:44 UTC that the bill will put an end to what she terms as the ongoing border crisis.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks was born in Herlong, California in 1955 and currently resides in Le Claire. She graduated from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 1976. Before her tenure in Congress, she served in the Iowa Senate from 2019 to 2021.
