NEW: DCCC Launches Print and Digital Rural Engagement Ad Campaign Slamming Miller-Meeks and Nunn For Defunding Rural Hospitals

As health care clinics across Iowa close their doors, voters feel the impact and will hold Miller-Meeks and Nunn responsible

The DCCC is launching a first-of-its-kind rural engagement ad campaign highlighting Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn’s votes to gut Medicaid and defund rural hospitals.

This four-figure campaign runs Friday through early next week, and the campaign includes half-page print ads in the Ottumwa Courier and Quad-City Times and online banner ads in the Des Moines Register and The Gazette.

This ad campaign is the first targeted to voters in rural communities who depend on health clinics and hospitals closing across IA-01 and IA-03. Both Miller-Meeks and Nunn voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history which are projected to cut billions in revenue towards Iowa hospitals.

DCCC Rural Engagement Manager Jacob Burg:
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn voted to rip funding from Iowa’s rural hospitals, abandoning rural communities from Wapello County to Henry County and everywhere in between. Iowans deserve the truth: Miller-Meeks and Nunn are making the rural health care crisis even worse and voters will hold them accountable this November.”
