Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D., a U.S. Congress member representing Iowa's 1st district, has been active on social media addressing various issues from energy independence to mental health and severe weather awareness. Her recent tweets reflect her focus on these significant topics.
On March 24, 2025, Rep. Miller-Meeks emphasized the importance of energy independence for the United States by stating that "The U.S. has some of the highest quality oil and gas in the world. We should NEVER rely solely on foreign adversaries for our energy needs. It’s time to unleash American energy and secure our future."
Later that day, she highlighted a personal commitment to mental health initiatives by remembering Blake Schwarz, who died by suicide two years prior. She announced plans to reintroduce legislation aimed at supporting corrections officers' mental health: "2 years ago today, Blake Schwarz took his own life. To address the mental health crisis facing corrections officers, I’m reintroducing the Corrections Officer Blake Schwarz Suicide Prevention Act. We must act now to ensure they have the support they need."
On March 25, 2025, during Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa, Rep. Miller-Meeks focused on tornado safety by sharing practical advice with her constituents: "It's Day 2 of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa! Today, we’re focusing on tornado safety. Here are some tips to keep you and your loved ones safe: 1. Move to the lowest level of your home, preferably a basement or storm cellar. 2. Stay away from windows and cover yourself."
