Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ Project 2025 Will Shutter Schools, Fire Teachers, And Hurt Families

By backing Project 2025 supporters, Miller-Meeks is embracing their far-right agenda

Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ Project 2025 is an extreme manifesto that would have far-reaching consequences for Iowa’s schools, students, workers, and families.

Project 2025 would severely hurt working families and our education system by: 

• Shuttering public schools across the country, harming communities.

• Worsening teacher shortages by decimating 180,000 teaching positions.

• Calling to dismantle the Department of Education.

• Eliminating Head Start which serves over 800,000 children in all 50 states.

• Raising costs for families and students struggling with high education costs.

Miller-Meeks has already attacked public education, leading legislation in Congress to expand school vouchers, voting for precursors to Iowa’s deeply unpopular school voucher program that diverts taxpayer dollars to private and charter schools, and voting against funding for Head Start–twice.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“When we invest in our teachers and education system, we invest in families and in Iowa’s future – Mariannette Miller-Meeks wants to take that future away from Iowans. Her heartless extremism will cost her in November.”
