“Miller-Meeks has attacked the idea of negotiating drug prices”
New reporting reveals Mariannette Miller-Meeks is selling out Iowans in favor of her special interest donors, taking nearly $200,000 from the pharmaceutical industry and voting to keep their profits high, while opposing efforts to lower prescription drug costs and cap the price of insulin for Iowans.
Miller-Meeks isn’t even trying to hide the fact that she’s beholden to the corporations bankrolling her campaign; she took a check from an insulin manufacturer on the very day she voted against a bill capping the cost of insulin at $35 per month for seniors.
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks will do whatever it takes to protect the profits of the special interests bankrolling her campaign, including when it hurts middle class families trying to get ahead. Iowans know Miller-Meeks is a Washington politician who will never put them first, which is why voters will reject her in November.”
Before voting against a bill that would cap insulin costs and allow the government to negotiate Medicare drug costs, Republican Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks…took thousands from an insulin manufacturer and other pharmaceutical companies.
Records from the Federal Election Commission show Miller-Meeks received $1,000 from Eli Lilly and Company PAC on Aug. 12, 2022, the day the Inflation Reduction Act was voted on in the US House of Representatives.
Further records obtained through Open Secrets shows Miller-Meeks has received a total of $196,812 from pharmaceutical and health product lobbyists since she was elected in 2020.
