Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D., a member of the U.S. Congress representing Iowa’s 1st district since 2021, addressed several topics on her social media account on August 13, 2025.

In a post made at 18:26 UTC, Miller-Meeks criticized Rep. Adam Schiff, stating, "Adam Schiff abused his power, leaked classified information, and peddled the Russia Hoax to harm President Trump and divide our country. If he had an ounce of integrity, he’d resign in disgrace, and face the consequences of his lies."

Later that day at 20:08 UTC, she highlighted local businesses in her state by writing, "Pella is home to some of the best small businesses in America. With 99% of Iowa businesses being small, they’re the heart of our communities and the first place to start if you want to see the real Iowa."

At 21:44 UTC, Miller-Meeks discussed her participation in a roundtable event focused on pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reform in Norwalk. She posted, "As a physician, I’m proud to join local leaders, medical professionals, and patient advocates in Norwalk for a PBM reform roundtable. We discussed several pieces of legislation, including my bipartisan DRUG Act, which would lower prescription drug costs, increase transparency,"

Miller-Meeks has represented Iowa’s 1st District since replacing Dave Loebsack in 2021 and previously served in the Iowa Senate from 2019 to 2021. Born in Herlong, California in 1955 and currently residing in Le Claire at age 67, she holds a BSN from Texas Christian University earned in 1976.
