January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month. A time to support the firefighters who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe, and a time to raise awareness about the increased threat of cancer firefighters face.

When I talk to Iowans, I hear over and over again that the Trump administration has gone too far– with masked, unidentifiable, federal forces storming the streets of American communities, forcing their way into businesses, churches, and people’s homes, and even detaining people who are US citizens.

Iowans’ premiums are now skyrocketing, and many will be forced to give up insurance coverage altogether. More than a dozen House Republicans voted for the subsidies, but our “representative” voted against.

There was a long delay at Cedar Rapids airport due to fog, but look who I met — Lyle and Ruth Ann Stacy, supporters from Jefferson County!

Traveling today, I am reminded of the expansion (up to 14 gates!) at the Cedar Rapids airport, paid for with infrastructure funds that are also paying to improve high-speed internet, roads, bridges, locks, and dams across Iowa...

Maduro is a dictator, who sought power and wealth for himself and brutalized the people of Venezuela. But we should all be concerned about continued offensive military measures — without Congressional authorization — against a country that poses no immediate threat to us...

My New Year’s resolution is to win this election and give real representation back to the hardworking people of Southeast Iowa. In my less-than-abundant spare time, my resolution is to do some home organization, starting with all those Christmas decorations and a trip to Lowe’s!

Thank you to every single person who made 2025 special. Our campaign is heading into 2026 strong and ready to fight every day to finally put Iowa first. See you all on the trail. 💛💙

Starting January 1st, Medicare prices for 10 lifesaving drugs will fall by an average of 62%, all thanks to a bill that Miller-Meeks voted against.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! 🎄 As we wrap up this year, I am beyond thankful for all of the support and energy you all have brought to this campaign. Looking forward to hitting the ground running in 2026. 💙💛

2 years ago, MMM ran on lowering costs. She's done just the opposite. Since then, she's voted to cut energy production that will raise energy bills by nearly $350 a year and refuses to take on utility monopolies to lower costs.

Protecting workers and strengthening unions are cornerstones of my campaign. Since I entered public service, I have been a strong ally and supporter of unions across this state, which is why I couldn't be prouder to be the labor-endorsed candidate for this race.

Did some Christmas shopping today at my local ACE Hardware. I love that place! I met a guy who said he voted for me in 2024 — AND gave me some good gift ideas for a hard-to-buy-for husband!

For far too long, Congress has operated as its own regulator, with rules and norms set and often ignored internally. It’s time we establish a truly independent Congressional Ethics Agency to prevent corruption and restore trust and confidence in our government.

This campaign is about fighting for Iowans who have been left behind by politicians who put politics, their own careers, or their big donors ahead of the people they are supposed to represent.

It was an honor to speak at the Iowa Farmers Union conference. I have been talking to farmers all across the state, and I keep hearing the same thing: the instability and chaos need to stop.

The Republicans in Washington have yet again failed the American people. Iowans are going to see their premiums double or in some cases triple starting in January, all because politicians like Miller-Meeks would rather play political games instead of taking action. www.npr.org/2025/12/11/g...

I’m glad this is happening to help our farmers, but it’s Trump's chaotic tariffs and trade wars (supported by MMM) that got us here. Our farmers want to grow their crops and sell them at a fair price. They deserve stable markets, not bailouts that only provide a temporary fix.

The over 2,000 hardworking nurses at UnityPoint deserve a seat at the table and more agency over their working conditions. I commend their organizing efforts and will always stand firm in their right to organize and join a union.

Headline translation: Miller-Meeks allows Iowans’ healthcare premiums to skyrocket. No one is saying that our healthcare system is perfect. My family knows that all too well. But extending the ACA subsidies is how we can lower healthcare costs TODAY.

Starting in January, thousands of Iowans will see their ACA premiums double or even triple. An average 60-year-old Iowa couple will see their premiums go from about $600 per month to more than $2,000 PER MONTH.

Our food banks do amazing work, but the SNAP cuts that Miller-Meeks voted for in the Republicans’ budget bill are going to overwhelm Iowa’s food bank capacity.

I've repeatedly rejected corporate PAC money. I'm not beholden to any billionaire, corporation, or special interest. I have been asked to take many pledges by many groups — but the only pledge I take is to the people of Iowa.

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm today! The snow is beautiful in the backyard, but not so much on the roads. Please use caution if you have to drive today. Hang in there, everybody!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Bohannan family! Wishing you all a day full of family, friends, and, of course, a whole lot of pumpkin pie! 🥧

Miller-Meeks’ photo ops, tweets feigning support, and band-aid bailouts won't help our farmers in the long term. It’s time we end these reckless tariffs, listen to our farmers, and expand market opportunities so farmers can thrive, not just Big Ag.

As a teacher of 25 years, I’ve watched young people go from excited about their futures to discouraged and worried — about a job market stacked against them, an economy where home ownership feels out of reach, and healthcare costs that keep too many from getting the care they need.

As we head into the holiday season, inflation and food costs are still on the rise, and people are bracing for insurance premiums to increase. The pain Iowans feel is real.

In light of the rampant corruption we see every day from our elected officials, including & especially Rep. Miller-Meeks, I'm introducing a reform agenda to bring trust back to Congress. I pledge to reject the influence of billionaires & special interests--and to put Iowans first.

What a great night in Burlington! A big thanks to the Des Moines County Democrats for having me. I especially enjoyed hanging out with the Carpenters and Operating Engineers. I am proud to have the labor endorsement— they know I will fight for working people in Congress.

This photo tells you more about Miller-Meeks’ true values than her entire town hall did.

It was a busy weekend! Thank you to all the folks who came out in Jefferson, Washington, and Iowa Counties.

Another year, another great time at the Eppers-O’Malley Dinner in Lee County! It was inspiring to be surrounded by so many fired up Iowans ready for real, honest representation in DC.

Koch Industries corp. recently bought an Iowa fertilizer plant in Lee Co. —further decreasing competition, driving up fertilizer prices, and hurting our farmers' profits.

My question for Rep. Miller-Meeks: Why didn't you sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files? Over and over again, you tell Iowans one thing, then do the opposite in Washington.

Happy Veterans Day, everyone! Thank you to all the brave men and women who have served our country, putting your own lives at risk to keep us safe and defend our freedoms.

We’ve all seen the headlines in Iowa: layoffs, facility closures, high costs, and a shrinking economy. Yet Miller-Meeks takes her orders from Gov. Reynolds and her party bosses instead of listening to Iowans.

We’re seeing Iowa families go hungry, workers laid off, and healthcare premiums rise, and what has MMM done? Refused to meet with constituents and flew to D.C. for a photo op in an empty building. Miller-Meeks: Please take *real* steps to reopen the government and lower costs.

My heart goes out to all the workers and families affected by the CNH closure in Burlington. This is just the latest of several layoffs by Iowa companies, when Iowa’s economy is already shrinking.

Miller-Meeks has worked just 20 days in Congress over the past 17 weeks. As Iowans lose their SNAP benefits and see their health insurance premiums skyrocket, she refuses to go back to work to negotiate a solution that will end the shutdown and reopen the government.

Iowans are now enrolling for 2026 insurance coverage and are finding big increases to premiums, thanks to Miller-Meeks’ cuts to ACA premium subsidies. Iowans will pay hundreds or thousands more PER MONTH.

Amazing turnout for our Johnson County canvass this afternoon! With only a 799 vote margin in 2024, we’re starting work early to get organized and finally retire Miller-Meeks.

First stop of the day was Davenport for a canvass launch with @scottcountydems.org! Our volunteers are fired up and ready to work. Special shout out to all the first timers!

Please take advantage of this state match offer to help Iowans who are losing SNAP benefits starting today. When you contribute to your local food bank, the State will double your contribution. This DMR article provides information and links for donating to your local food bank.

This week, I toured the North Liberty Food Pantry and met with representatives from the NLFP as well as from the CommUnity Crisis Center, the Coralville Food Pantry, Table to Table, and Common Good Iowa about the food crisis in Iowa that is about to get worse.

Local elections are so important -- please get out and vote! The election is next Tuesday, November 4th, but there are plenty of early voting options between now and then too!

Let’s support our government and essential workers who are now on day 31 without pay. A big thank you to AFGE and the Quad Cities Federation of Labor for organizing this incredible drive to help those affected.

Working people built this country, and working people are the real drivers of our economy. I come from a building trades family, and I am proud to be the labor-endorsed candidate in this race.
