Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ Extreme GOP Raised Monthly Internet Costs for 32,479 IA-01 Households

This weekend, full funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) officially expired – forcing more than 124,000 Iowa families to face stark price hikes on their monthly internet bills.

The ACP – a product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – serves 32,479 households in Iowa’s First Congressional District, lowering families’ monthly internet bills.

Meanwhile, a majority of House Republicans actively called for this program to expire through their Republican Study Committee, whose budget calls for the end of the program.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“At every turn, Mariannette Miller-Meeks caves to DC politicians at the expense of Iowa families. Miller-Meeks isn’t just leaving Iowans behind; she’s standing by as her party is raising costs and making it harder to make ends meet.”
