Coralville, Iowa — Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks says the November election won’t turn on any single issue, but voters will be motivated by values like free enterprise and individual liberty.
Miller-Meeks held a campaign fundraiser in Coralville Saturday. Two other Iowa Republicans running for re-election spoke to the crowd. Governor Kim Reynolds says Democrats over-complicate things, while Republicans offer common sense.
Senator Chuck Grassley says Iowa voters are concerned about inflation and President Biden’s energy policies, particularly when it comes to gasoline production.
Florida Senator Rick Scott was the keynote speaker at the Miller-Meeks event. Scott is in charge of fundraising for Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate, but Scott says he was in Iowa to help a House candidate because increasing turn out for Miller-Meeks in Iowa’s first district will benefit Grassley.
Christina Bohannan, the Democrat running against Miller-Meeks, says by having Scott speak at the event, Miller-Meeks has aligned herself with Scott’s extreme views. Bohannan points to Scott’s plan to terminate Social Security and Medicare every five years and require congress to vote to reauthorize the programs.
