Washington, D.C. - Last night, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) hosted her second telephone town hall of the 119th Congress, where she was joined by over 6,300 Iowans for a wide-ranging discussion on the work she’s doing in Washington to protect families, lower costs, and defend American values.

“I’m always grateful for the opportunity to hear directly from Iowans, answer their questions, and provide updates on the issues that matter most,” said Miller-Meeks. “From securing our border and lowering drug costs to protecting Social Security/Medicaid and bringing manufacturing back to America, Iowans know I’m in Congress to fight for them—and last night’s conversation reaffirmed just how engaged and passionate they are about the direction of our country.”

During the call, Miller-Meeks highlighted several recent accomplishments made possible by Republican leadership in Congress and President Trump’s return to the White House, including:

  1. A 95% reduction in illegal border crossings since President Trump resumed office—proof that strong leadership and real enforcement work.
  2. Passage of the SAVE Act, which she co-sponsored, to require proof of citizenship when registering to vote and protect the integrity of U.S. elections.
  3. Passage of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which she proudly supported and celebrated at a White House ceremony with President Trump.
  4. House passage  of her Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act, which strengthens America’s supply chains by expanding manufacturing into rural areas like southeast Iowa.
  5. Her ongoing fight to extend the Trump-era Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, protecting families, small businesses, and family farms from devastating tax hikes.

A key moment of the evening came during a poll question on border security: 72% of callers said they believe the border is more secure under President Trump than it was under President Biden.

On the issue of rising drug prices, she discussed her bipartisan legislation, the DRUG Act, which cracks down on Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)—the middlemen driving up prescription costs—and praised a recent Trump executive order to increase transparency in the drug pricing system.
