Miller-Meeks Puts Extreme Anti-Choice Speaker and His Agenda Over Iowans

Today, Mariannette Miller-Meeks elected Rep. Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. After churning through a slew of other candidates, Miller-Meeks went all in for Johnson, a fellow anti-choice extremist.

In case you haven’t heard of him, here’s a bit about Johnson:

• Like Miller-Meeks, Johnson pushed for a total abortion ban without exceptions and voted for legislation to punish doctors for providing essential reproductive care.

• Johnson served as the chair of the Republican Study Committee, leading their efforts to slash Social Security and Medicare.

• Johnson was instrumental in the plan to overturn the 2020 election – the New York Times named him “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections.”

Miller-Meeks has completely abandoned working families in Iowa, siding with election deniers, anti-abortion extremists, and relentless attacks on Social Security and Medicare.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Mike Johnson is Jim Jordan with a sports coat. And he has a new best friend: Mariannette Miller-Meeks. Miller-Meeks and Johnson are hellbent on rolling back reproductive freedoms, and we’ll make sure that voters know that she again put anti-choice extremists before Iowa families.”
