U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) on April 27 cosponsored bipartisan legislation that would establish a publicly available federal database of bid solicitations for infant formula under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, also known as the WIC program.  

Since Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, I have spoken against President Putin’s unprovoked aggression and staunchly stood with our Ukrainian allies. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was a desperate ploy to instill a sense of Russian pride following the illegal invasion of Crimea in 2014 and has resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent Ukrainians.

Ukraine is an American ally; Russia’s actions are an invasion of a sovereign nation and it cannot stand.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. House voted overwhelmingly Thursday to use the framework of a World War II-era program to allow the federal government to lend and lease military equipment to Ukraine as it resists Russian troops.

The legislation, called the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act, would remove red tape and require the White House to create an expedited process for lending or leasing military equipment to Ukraine’s government.
