Email from Rep. Miller-Meeks Miller-Meeks Weekly Script January 12th, 2025 WEEKLY SC℞IPT View as Webpage Rep. Miller-Meeks: A New Chapter in American History The start of the 119th Congress marks the beginning of a new chapter in American history—a chapter in which our borders are secured, gas and groceries are once again affordable, and law and order are restored. After four long years of the Biden-Harris administration, during which we saw over 10 million illegal immigrants cross our border, inflation reach a 40-year high, and a series of disastrous events, including the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, it is now time to restore all the things that make America the greatest country on Earth and reinstate hope in every American. This new chapter began on November 5th, 2024, when the American people voted to send President Trump back to the White House, with majorities in both the Senate and the House, and with a clear mandate for change. To support this mandate, President Trump needs a strong leader in the House. On January 3rd, 2025, we delivered that leader to him by re-electing Speaker Mike Johnson! Shortly after the Speaker election, the 119th Congress was sworn in. Being sworn in to represent the great state of Iowa for the third consecutive time is the honor of a lifetime. I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to represent southeast Iowa in Washington and am eager to continue fighting for each and every one of my constituents. I will work tirelessly to secure the border, lower prices, support our farmers, reduce the national debt, and unleash America’s energy potential. One of the greatest responsibilities of any Congress is certifying the results of the presidential election. On January 6th, 2025, I was proud to certify the election for President Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance! On January 20th, both will be sworn into office, and the implementation of President Trump’s agenda will begin. I am ready to begin working with the Trump administration on day one to deliver on the promises made to the American people. No longer will we be a country without a secure border. No longer will we be a country that doesn’t enforce its own laws. No longer will we be a country that asks more of its citizens than its own leaders. As we begin this new chapter in our nation’s history, let us renew our commitment to the values that have always made America exceptional: freedom, opportunity, achievement through merit and the rule of law. Together, I am confident we will restore our strength and ensure that the promise of the American Dream is within reach for every individual. The Weekly Wrap The first Weekly Wrap of the 119th Congress, coming to you from our new office in Washington, D.C.! Speaker Election On January 3rd, the House voted to re-elect Speaker Mike Johnson on the first ballot. We need a leader who will stand strong to secure our border, lower prices, and advance President Trump’s America First agenda. That leader is Speaker Mike Johnson! Swearing into the 119th Congress After Speaker Johnson’s re-election, Members of Congress were sworn into the 119th Congress. It is an honor to begin my third term, and I look forward to continuing the fight for the people of Iowa. Certifying the 2024 Presidential Election I enthusiastically certified the 2024 Election for President Donald J. Trump, and spoke with our soon-to-be Vice President JD Vance!
