You might think that someone who barely squeaked by in 2024, despite Trump winning Iowa by double digits, might take her own re-election a bit more seriously. But that’s just not how Mariannette Miller-Meeks rolls.

Probably a good thing she’s not holding any town halls, though, as Christina Bohanan should finally rid the district of her once and for all in 2026.
