SOUND THE ALARM: After Voting to Decimate Health Care, Rep. Miller-Meeks Says She’ll Talk to Constituents “When Hell Freezes Over” 

In case you missed it, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks is abandoning her promise to host in-person town halls — recently saying she’ll meet with constituents “when hell freezes over.” 

Iowans are demanding answers from Miller-Meeks for her role in forcing a government shutdown, rather than protecting health care, and pushing Republicans’ agenda to double health insurance premiums for tens of thousands of Iowans, strip over 100,000 more of their health care altogether, and put hundreds of rural hospitals at risk of closure.

While Miller-Meeks hides from constituents — despite meeting with special interest donors week after week — Christina Bohannan is showing up for Iowans. Bohannan has held town halls the past two weekends, sharing her plans to stand up to Republicans’ assault on Iowa’s working families and combat the affordability crisis.
