Iowa’s congressional delegation is urging the Biden Administration to restructure the state’s weekly allocation of Covid vaccine. The group says putting more doses of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine in the mix make sense.

Representative Ashley Hinson of Marion said pharmacies in rural parts of the state cannot afford the freezers required to store the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

WASHINGTON, DC – Iowa’s Congressional delegation is asking the IRS to increase staffing at the Iowa Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) office.

Ms. Collins,

WASHINGTON —

Early Saturday morning, the U.S. House passed a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill 219-212 allowing it to progress to the Senate.

Democrat Rep. Cindy Axne voted in favor of the bill while Republican Representatives Ashley Hinson, Randy Feenstra, and Mariannette Miller-Meeks voted against it.

The bill includes $1,400 payments to Americans that qualify, billions of dollars for COVID-19 vaccines and testing, and financial assistance for schools and businesses.
