Congresswoman Miller-Meeks: I'm Proud to Back the Blue

May 11, 2026

IOWA - In a newly released op-ed, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) expressed her strong support for Iowa's brave law enforcement officers, and highlighted the significance of National Police Week and honoring the brave men and women in blue.

"National Police Week is both a solemn remembrance and a celebration of service by the men and women who serve with integrity and bravery every day," said Miller-Meeks. "It reminds us that behind every badge is a story of sacrifice, commitment, and family."

Miller-Meeks Continued, "This week is an important opportunity to say thank you to the heroic men and women who risk their lives every day to keep the rest of us safe. Police officers are true public servants and protectors of our communities who deserve our deepest respect and appreciation. Their families also sacrifice so much in service to others, and we must ensure our officers have the support, protection, and resources they need to do their jobs safely and effectively."

Miller-Meeks has always been a steadfast supporter of the men and women in blue. When radical progressives called for defunding the police, Miller-Meeks strongly opposed them and stood shoulder to shoulder the our community heroes.

"We must continue to Back the Blue by protecting our officers, supporting their mental health, and ensuring Iowa’s police departments have the resources necessary to recruit and retain the very best. I am proud to stand with law enforcement this week and every week." - Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks
