Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D., a member of the U.S. Congress representing Iowa's 1st district since 2021, has been actively engaging with constituents and addressing national issues through her social media presence.

On May 5, 2025, she shared on social media about her immediate involvement in meetings upon arriving in Washington D.C. "Just met in DC with American College of Nurse-Midwives. Right off the plane and straight to meetings that benefit Iowa ".

Later that day, Miller-Meeks commented on a significant development concerning animal research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). She expressed relief over the cessation of certain laboratory practices, stating "Finally. After 40+ years of fatal experiments, the NIH has shut down the labs responsible for killing thousands of beagles—many of which operated under Dr. Fauci’s leadership. Thank you, @DrJBhattacharya!".

The following day, May 6, she took to social media again to honor healthcare professionals on a national observance day. She wrote "Happy National Nurses Day to the incredible nurses in Iowa and across America!".

Miller-Meeks' professional background includes serving in the Iowa Senate from 2019 to 2021 before joining Congress. Born in Herlong, California, she resides in Le Claire and holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Texas Christian University.
