Rep. Miller-Meeks: America Is Back and So Is Manufacturing
Made in America is more than a slogan. It is a promise of self-reliance, national security, and economic strength. And under President Trump’s leadership, that promise is being restored.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is the boldest pro-manufacturing legislation in modern history. It puts American workers first by strengthening domestic supply chains, cutting bureaucratic red tape, and ensuring federal projects are built with American steel, American labor, and American innovation. For Iowa and our entire nation, this bill brings new meaning to “Made in the USA.”
In Southeast Iowa, we know what it means to build, to work, and to contribute. But for too long, Washington sacrificed American manufacturing on the altar of globalization. Critical jobs vanished overseas. Our supply chains became dependent on Communist China. And our rural communities paid the price.
That ends now.
As a former small business owner and 24-year Army veteran, I have made it my mission to restore American strength. My ONSHORE Act, now law, removes hurdles to get factories back on American soil. My legislation to expand diagnostics production ensures we never again rely on adversaries for life-saving supplies. And my employer-driven workforce training bill helps Iowans gain the skills they need for jobs that exist today, not bureaucratic fantasies.
The One Big Beautiful Bill builds on that work. It requires domestic sourcing for critical infrastructure, incentivizes U.S. production, and prioritizes American-made goods at every level of government procurement. That means more jobs, higher wages, and fewer vulnerabilities.
I am proud to have voted for this legislation because I believe in Iowa. I believe in our people, our businesses, and our capacity to lead.
American manufacturing is back. And with President Trump leading the charge and the One Big Beautiful Bill advancing in Congress, we are making “Made in America” a reality again, right here in Iowa.
