Rather than working to avert a Republican-manufactured shutdown, Mariannette Miller-Meeks is siding with her party and voted for devastating cuts to law enforcement, education, Social Security and small businesses.
Defund law enforcement by slashing funding for the FBI, DEA and other cuts that could lead to the elimination of hundreds of state and local law enforcement nationwide.
Cut funding for loan and grant programs for farmers, as well as the Rural Housing Service and Rural Utility Service programs that help rural residents afford homes and utilities.
Hurt seniors by gutting funding for the Social Security Administration (SSA) that could lead to closing SSA field offices that seniors rely on.
Cut SBA Entrepreneurial Development programs that support small businesses by 30%, potentially cutting support to 400,000 small businesses.
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks is enabling a Republican-induced government shutdown that will hurt Iowans and now, she has voted to gut funding for law enforcement and other critical programs. Miller-Meeks will always choose partisanship over Iowa families.”
