Email from Rep. Miller-Meeks Miller-Meeks Weekly Script November 17, 2024 WEEKLY SC℞IPT Visit My Website Rep. Miller-Meeks: A Mandate for Change November 5th, 2024 is a day that will forever be remembered as the day the American people voted for a mandate—a mandate for change. After nearly four years under the Biden-Harris administration, it is clear that America stands at a crossroads. The failures of the current administration have left our nation grappling with challenges on multiple fronts – with soaring inflation seen by high interest rates, gas and grocery prices, this economic hardship felt by families is undeniable. At the same time, this administration has overseen an unprecedented border crisis, with millions of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border. This flood of people has brought deadly synthetic fentanyl, gang activity, individuals on the terror watch list, and placed a severe strain on public resources. Beyond these crises, the administration’s policies have further weakened the fabric of our society. Rising crime rates plague our cities, often driven by left-wing policies that coddle criminals while undermining law enforcement and often at the expense of victims. Americans, especially women, don’t feel safe and secure. Adding to this are the multiple wars that have erupted around the world following Biden's attempts to re-enter the Iran nuclear deal and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which resulted in the tragic loss of 13 service members and emboldened our adversaries. It’s no surprise, then, that Americans are demanding change. The Biden-Harris legacy is one of confusion, failure, and an abandonment of the values that have made America exceptional. But on November 5th, 2024, the American people voted for a new direction. It is now time for America to return to the principles that have made it the greatest nation in the world: a strong economy, strong military, secure borders, safe communities, and a commitment to fairness and equal opportunity for all through merit. With President Trump’s leadership and majorities in the House and Senate, we can restore our nation’s greatness. Together, we will secure our borders, revive our economy, and put an end to the ongoing wars that have drained many of our resources and undermined our national security. More importantly, we will restore hope for the millions of Americans who have felt forgotten under the Biden-Harris leadership. The American Dream is not dead – together, we can and will revive and restore it. As we look to the future, I pray for President Trump’s health and success. I look forward to working with his administration to implement policies that will bring stability, security, and prosperity back to our nation. God bless him, and may God bless the United States of America. What key issue or priority would you like to see addressed in the 119th Congress? Inflation/Economy Border Crisis Energy Health Care Election Integrity Education Other The Weekly Wrap The Weekly Wrap from Washington D.C.! Representing Iowa's 1st in D.C. Great meeting with Iowa Chamber Alliance to discuss tax policy, workforce training, and immigration. Glad to be working alongside them to keep Iowa thriving! I had a great meeting with the Iowa Credit Union League to discuss their work to improve the financial lives/wellbeing of their nearly 300,000 members in Iowa’s First District. Committee Hearings During the final Select Subcommittee on the COVID-19 Pandemic, I highlighted how Americans were demonized, service members were kicked out of the military, and healthcare providers were fired from hospitals—all because they refused to comply with COVID-19 vaccine mandates, regardless of whether immunity outweighed the risks. As a physician, I know vaccines save lives, but these mandates went too far and only increased vaccine hesitancy. Under a President Trump administration, I am confident that constitutional liberties will be respected and confidence in government restored. Floor Speeches Honored to recognize WWII veteran and proud Iowan Henry Langrehr on the House Floor. At 100, Henry still inspires us all. As one of the first paratroopers to land in Normandy, he risked everything for our freedom and is a true American hero! Proud to celebrate him. I celebrated Iowa Football Coach Kirk Ferentz's 200th Career Big Ten Win on the House Floor! I spoke in support of the Corrections Officer Blake Schwarz Suicide Prevention Act, a bill I introduced to provide our law enforcement officers with the mental health and suicide prevention resources they need. I congratulated Meghan Purcell on being awarded Iowa’s Outstanding Elementary Art Educator of the Year! Mrs. Purcell has worked as an art teacher at Mark Twain and Herbert Hoover Elementary Schools in the Bettendorf Community School District for the past 15 years.
