Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who represents Iowa’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, recently used her social media platform to address several legislative and policy issues relevant to her constituents.

On August 25, 2025, Miller-Meeks commented on the impact of state policies regarding commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs), stating, "Three innocent Americans are dead because sanctuary states handed a CDL to a driver who couldn’t read English or road signs. That’s why I’m backing common sense legislation called Connor’s Law, to make English proficiency mandatory for CDL drivers."

Later that day, she shared details about her visit to Danville, where she met with local farmers and community bankers. She wrote on August 25, 2025: "I visited Danville to meet with farmers and community bankers about how the reconciliation bill is delivering certainty through ACRE and pro-growth tax reforms. We also discussed year-round E-15, the first RVO increase in decades, and the need for a strong Farm Bill to keep Iowa".

On August 26, 2025, Miller-Meeks reported on her participation in a town hall event in Lee County organized by @AFPIowa. She stated: "It was great joining @AFPIowa in Lee County for a town hall where I heard directly from constituents and answered their questions. We talked about historic tax cuts for Iowa families, securing the border, protecting women’s sports, lowering costs, preserving Medicaid for those".

Miller-Meeks has served as U.S. Representative since replacing Dave Loebsack in 2021 and previously held office 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.
