In a post from that morning, Miller-Meeks highlighted her meeting with Nikki Stier Fache to discuss ChildServe’s work in Iowa.

Later that day, she addressed her participation at a professional conference: "It was great speaking at the American Academy of Dermatology Association’s annual legislative conference on the need for Medicare physician payment reform and cutting barriers to care. I especially appreciated connecting with physicians from Johnson County who were there." (September 9, 2025)

In another statement posted that afternoon regarding national politics and law enforcement policy, Miller-Meeks stated: "President Trump is spot on.

Democrats’ anti-law enforcement agenda is emboldening criminals and destroying America’s greatest cities.

Iowans know the truth: without law and order, there is no freedom. We will never let their failed policies take root here." (September 9, 2025)
