In Congress, I’ll fight to lower prescription drug prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices on more lifesaving drugs and capping insulin costs at $35 per month for everyone. Because getting life-saving medication should not mean financial ruin.

We must end the billions of dollars in dark money — for all parties — that distort our elections and buy representatives who are loyal to billionaires and corporations instead of working people.

It’s time to restore trust in Congress and hold members like Miller-Meeks accountable for their role in making life unaffordable for working people.

Not so long ago, Iowa ranked number one in public education. Iowa was a national destination for young families seeking great public schools. Our public schools were not only a priority but a source of pride.

Iowa ranks last in the nation in state psychiatric beds, with just 2 beds per 100,000 people. As a state, we must do better by investing in mental healthcare at every level and in every community.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: New reporting from the Iowa Independent shows that Miller-Meeks took $11,500 from pharmaceutical companies in the days before she voted for the OBBB, which made it harder for Medicare to negotiate and lower drug prices.

For years, Iowans have been left behind by politicians like Miller-Meeks, who routinely vote to put special interests ahead of Iowans. I’m fighting for a strong public education system, lower everyday costs, and the protection of programs like Medicare and Social Security.

While Miller-Meeks rakes in tons of cash from the insurance industry, patients are facing increased denial rates, and hospitals are struggling to get paid for the care they provide. Iowa deserves a representative who will stand up to the insurance industry and fight for Iowans.

We’ve just learned that Iowa native Maj. Brad Hovey tragically lost his life in a B-52 crash on Monday. To all who knew Brad, his family, friends, and brothers and sisters in the Air Force, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Brad’s bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

⬆️ Inflation has risen for the third straight month, reaching a three-year high of 4.2% year over year. ⬆️ Gas prices are up 7%. Miller-Meeks has voted in favor of tariffs, corporations, and a war that are driving up costs. Bringing down costs will be a top priority for me in Congress.

This is so sad. Thanks to Miller-Meeks’ Medicaid cuts, women in Clinton County will now have to travel out of county for labor and delivery services. This puts lives at risk and makes it harder for Iowans to get the care they deserve.

Miller-Meeks’ party bosses have a plan to cut Social Security and Medicare — and we all know how she would vote. We cannot let this happen. Iowans have paid into these programs through a lifetime of hard work. They’ve earned it, they depend on it, and we must protect it.

While Miller-Meeks votes time and time again to write blank checks for this senseless war, Iowans back home are being priced out of everyday grocery items. It’s time to end this war and lower prices for Iowans who are just trying to survive and afford everyday life.

Iowans don’t need some Washington politician telling them what’s going on. They see farmers struggling to make ends meet. They see hospitals closing. They see higher costs every time they fill up their gas tank or buy groceries. It’s time to put Iowa first, not the DC elite.

Miller-Meeks just voted AGAIN to prolong the Iran War. Several Republicans joined Democrats today in voting to end the war, and the resolution passed. But our representative voted against — instead voting to continue sky-high prices on fertilizer, fuel, food, and everything else. Unbelievable.
