270,000 Iowans could lose SNAP benefits on Nov 1 because of the Republican shutdown Miller-Meeks supports. She even voted to cut $300B from SNAP as we struggle with rising grocery prices. Iowans deserve leaders who fight to feed families, not starve them for political points. #IA01

Trump’s reckless trade wars and attacks on clean energy have devastated Iowa’s agricultural economy — eliminating soybean markets, disrupting the beef industry, and driving up costs and layoffs across farming and manufacturing. #IA01 #Agriculture

Healthcare is not a luxury. It’s a right. Far-right Republicans are refusing to extend the ACA subsidies, yet somehow they could find $40B for a bailout for Argentina. I’m running to fight for our hardworking people and build an Iowa where all families can live and thrive. #IA01 #Healthcare #ACA

Iowa has the fastest-growing cancer rates in the country.  Instead of investing in care, far-right Republicans are cutting fundings and trying to eliminate the ACA. Your health shouldn’t be political. It should be protected. #IA01 #Healthcare #PublicHealth

Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina’s President Javier Milei is just the latest example of failed leadership. Iowa farmers are paying the price — hit hard by tariffs, soaring costs, and market instability. We need leaders focused on strengthening our economy here at home.

And while Iowans are begging for affordable care, @millermeeks is turning her back — even on a constituent battling brain cancer who pleaded for help to keep their coverage. Disgraceful. #IA01

Skyrocketing health-care costs are hitting Iowa families hard. The very subsidies that are about to expire will double premiums for millions — yet Miller-Meeks is doing nothing while Iowans suffer. We deserve someone that fights for us - not silence in the face of crisis. #IA01

Service to our country isn’t a campaign credential—it’s sacrifice. Scott Perry’s comments are disgraceful. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, you claim to support veterans. When will you condemn this rhetoric and stand up for all who serve, regardless of party? #RespectOurVeterans #IA01

Iowa now ranks #2 in the country for cancer rates, with higher-than-average cases of lung, breast, prostate, and skin cancer. Yet, the Trump administration cut $33 million in NIH grants from the University of Iowa alone. It’s time to prioritize the health and future of Iowans. #IA01 #publichealth

Iowans don’t bow to wannabe kings. On No Kings Day, and every day, it’s important that we have people organizing, speaking out, but most of all, showing up. In doing so, we show each other, and Donald Trump, that we are not alone, and that we will not be silenced. #IA01 #NoKings

Congresswoman Miller-Meeks promised a telephone town hall (whatever that is). Despite registering, I was somehow left off the invite, but was able to get on the call thanks to Johnson County Democrats sharing the number.

Far-right Republicans slammed the brakes on our government because Democrats refused to let them gut the Affordable Care Act — and jack up our health care premiums by up to 75%. We deserve a government that works for us — not one run by puppet politicians who want to dismantle our healthcare.

Harvest season should be a time for Iowa’s farmers to feel proud of a year’s hard work. But this year, that’s not the case thanks to far-right Republicans. Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs have sparked a farm crisis by destroying our biggest market for soybeans: China.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks literally just told her constituents- us- that she’ll hold town halls “when hell freezes over.” That’s not leadership. That’s cowardice. I’m Taylor Wettach. And unlike Miller-Meeks, I believe democracy means showing up.

Far-right Republicans are cutting EPA funding and misleading Iowans about pollution by changing river classifications. That is wrong. We must refund and rebuild the EPA, support science, and give farmers the resources to comply with environmental laws.

Far-right Republicans have decided yet again to take the side of billionaires and corporations. This means healthcare premiums will skyrocket starting January 26. Will Dr. Miller-Meeks come to the table and not abandon hard-working Iowans? Last we checked, she's still on vacation.
