Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Iowa’s 1st (IA - 01)

Updated: October 10, 2026

Overview

Iowans are paying the price for Mariannette Miller-Meeks selling us out. She is beholden to big corporations and special interests – and does their bidding. 

SUMMARY:

Voters in the Quad Cities, Cedar Rapids, and Des Moines media markets need to see ads on broadcast TV, district-wide OTT/CTV, streaming, digital platforms and hear radio ads about how:

• Mariannette Miller-Meeks is beholden to the data center industry. She was the deciding vote to give them billions in special tax breaks. The very next day Miller-Meeks took money from a data center lobbyist – working for big tech companies taking our land. Our water. And jacking up our utility bills. Miller-Meeks is among the biggest cheerleaders for the data center industry in Congress, proclaiming “We can have data centers, we can have bitcoin mining, we can have digital assets and AI development.”
• On the very same day Miller-Meeks opposed capping the price of insulin at $35/month for seniors on Medicare, she received a campaign contribution from a PAC for the largest insulin manufacturer in the country. As health care and drug prices skyrocket, Miller-Meeks has taken over $680,000 from the drug and insurance industries – while giving them over $8 billion in special handouts. 
• Miller-Meeks took over $4 million from the corporate special interests — including the health insurance industry — while voting their way. Cutting health coverage for 110,000 Iowans. And increasing health care costs on all of us.  In Iowa, health insurance premiums have increased 67% — all while Miller-Meeks voted to give billions in special tax breaks to insurance companies. Worse — Miller-Meeks even wrote a plan that allowed insurance companies to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions like diabetes and cancer.

Additional Resources

• It is important for voters to hear from real, everyday Iowans – families struggling with the high cost of health care, prescription drugs, and insulin — as well as people affected by and worried about the Data Center Industry takeover in Iowa.
