Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, a U.S. Congress member representing Iowa’s 1st district since 2021, has shared several statements on social media concerning current legislative and geopolitical issues. Her comments reflect her ongoing efforts in the political arena to address various concerns.

On March 4, 2025, Rep. Miller-Meeks expressed disappointment over the failure of a bill intended to protect women's sports. "This Women's History Month, we should have been celebrating the passage of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, but 45 Senate Democrats decided to kill that bill." She affirmed her commitment to continue collaborating with President Biden and leaders like Riley Gaines to safeguard women's sports.

Later that day, she highlighted concerns about China's influence on critical minerals supply chains. "China is tightening its grip on critical minerals, threatening our economy and national security." In response, she sent a letter to the Acting Under Secretary for International Trade demanding action against China's dominance in global supply chains.

In another post from March 4, Rep. Miller-Meeks announced welcoming women’s sports champion Riley Gaines to Washington D.C., expressing anticipation for President Biden's Joint Address that evening. "Welcomed women’s sports champion @Riley_Gaines_ to Washington DC! Ready to see @potus Joint Address tonight."
