Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D., a U.S. Congresswoman representing Iowa’s 1st district since 2021, posted updates on her official X account on September 16, 2025, highlighting meetings and events in Washington D.C. involving Iowa veterans and agricultural groups.

In the morning, Miller-Meeks shared her experience greeting veterans visiting the nation’s capital: "Honored to welcome the Quad Cities Honor Flight back to our nation’s capital. As a 24-year Army veteran, it’s always moving to greet our heroes and their families as they visit the monuments and memorials that honor their sacrifice and service." (September 16, 2025)

Later that day, she discussed meeting with representatives of Iowa agriculture: "I welcomed the Iowa Cattlemen’s Leadership Group to DC to discuss Farm Bill priorities and the future of agriculture for young farmers and the barriers they face. The Working Families Tax Cut delivers permanent relief from the Death Tax, ensuring family farms can be passed down" (September 16, 2025).

That evening, Miller-Meeks reported on her continued engagement with state agricultural stakeholders: "Productive meeting with the Iowa National Turkey Federation to discuss Farm Bill priorities and the ongoing challenges with avian flu. In Congress, I’ll continue working to ensure Iowa’s farmers have the support they need." (September 16, 2025).

Miller-Meeks has represented Iowa's 1st district in Congress since replacing Dave Loebsack in 2021. She previously served in the Iowa Senate from 2019 to 2021 and is a military veteran with a background in medicine.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks was born in Herlong, California in 1955 and currently resides in Le Claire.

She holds a BSN degree from Texas Christian University earned in 1976.
