Miller-Meeks voted for House Republicans’ budget framework, which directed the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which she sat on, to make $880 billion worth of cuts. It has been widely reported that House Republicans would have to cut Medicaid in order to achieve that goal. More than 102,500 Iowans, or 16 percent, in Miller-Meeks’ district were covered by Medicaid or CHIP.
Miller-Meeks defended Trump’s tariffs, but when asked about the tariffs an Iowa State University economics professor said, “we’re all going to be poorer.” There has been reporting that the tariffs will hurt Iowa’s farmers, that it was affecting University of Iowa engineering students, and that Iowa homebuilders were concerned.
Miller-Meeks has also supported the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claiming she would work closely with the agency and joining the DOGE caucus in congress. She did so even though the Trump administration was proposing massive NIH cuts that threatened medical research at the University of Iowa, which supported thousands of jobs and more than 1,500 businesses in Iowa. Miller-Meeks has previously touted the medical research and programs at the University of Iowa. The Trump administration’s cuts have also resulted in layoffs, longer wait times, and frequent website outages at the Social Security Administration. More than 173,000 Iowans in Miller-Meeks’ district relied on Social Security benefits.
In 2024, Miller-Meeks faced a complaint over an allegation that she was voting from an address that was not her primary address. In 2022 and 2024, Miller-Meeks reportedly listed addresses in Davenport, IA on her voter registration, but she used her address in Ottumwa, IA for important forms, like her FEC statement of candidacy, Iowa Secretary of State candidate list, and a political donation. In October 2024, the Des Moines Register also reported that Miller-Meeks and her husband had received a homestead tax credit for their Ottumwa property for the previous two tax periods.
