A quick look at the candidates

One stated goal, one checked action and the top committee funding for each candidate. Read the detailed guide for the rest.

What the funding line covers

Funding shows up to the two largest listed committee categories, without individual-donor conduit entries.

Record checked Oct 24, 2026. Money dates are shown separately.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Republican

One stated goal Extend the $35 monthly insulin cap that Medicare beneficiaries have to people on private insurance.

One checked action Voted Yea on passage of H.R. 6833, the Affordable Insulin Now Act, on March 31, 2022 (Roll Call 102, passed 232 to 193); the Clerk's record shows twelve Republicans voting Yea, and she was one of them.

Campaign cash $4,691,481 on , principal committee only.

Listed committee funding Transfers from joint fundraising committees (line 12): $1,686,037; Other PACs (no organization type recorded): $788,688.

Through June 30, 2026. Cash above has its own date.

Funding scope

Itemized receipts from political committees in the 2025-2026 cycle filings through June 30, 2026, grouped by the FEC's recorded organization type or designation of the contributing committee. The conduit row is the exception: it holds what the campaign's own fundraising platform passed through, which the FEC records as a hybrid political action committee rather than by organization type. Table rows other than the transfer and conduit rows sum to $2,421,206.95, equal to the FEC summary's other-committee plus party contributions. Every other figure here is a sum of the filings' own itemized rows, not the matching line on the FEC's summary of the cycle, and the two can differ by whatever the filings did not itemize. Not in the table: $78,328.06 of itemized line-14 offsets to operating expenditures, where the summary says $79,791.04; $75,893.12 of itemized line-15 other receipts including bank interest, where the summary says $75,893.13; $2,000 of line-11AI contributions from organizations; and the memo entries outside the conduit row. A memo entry restates money the report already counts elsewhere, so adding one would count it twice: they include $91,535.99 restating the transfer row and $263,310.71 that donors earmarked to the campaign through other political committees.

Christina Bohannan

Democratic

One stated goal Make the cost of living her first priority, ending the tariffs she says raise prices, curbing corporate price gouging and lowering prescription drug costs.

One checked action Sole sponsor of House File 2196 (2022), exempting feminine hygiene and incontinence products from the sales and use tax, introduced and referred to Ways and Means on February 1, 2022 with no further action recorded.

Campaign cash $5,425,318 on , principal committee only.

Listed committee funding Transfers from joint fundraising committees (line 12): $856,879; Other PACs (no organization type recorded): $310,538.

Through June 30, 2026. Cash above has its own date.

Funding scope

Itemized receipts from political committees in the 2025-2026 cycle filings through June 30, 2026, grouped by the FEC's recorded organization type or designation of the contributing committee. The conduit row is the exception: it holds what the campaign's own fundraising platform passed through, which the FEC records as a hybrid political action committee rather than by organization type. Table rows other than the transfer and conduit rows sum to $502,648.29, equal to the FEC summary's other-committee plus party contributions. No row appears for corporation-connected PACs, because the filing itemizes no contribution from a committee the FEC records with that organization type. Every other figure here is a sum of the filings' own itemized rows, not the matching line on the FEC's summary of the cycle, and the two can differ by whatever the filings did not itemize. Not in the table: $7,000 of line-11D contributions from the candidate, $34,209.98 of itemized line-14 offsets where the summary says $34,463.63, $2,297.43 of itemized line-15 other receipts where the summary says $2,414.80, $1,000 of line-11AI contributions from organizations, and the memo entries outside the conduit row, which include $60,609.85 restating the transfer row and $245,901.43 that donors earmarked to the campaign through other political committees.

Michael Bridgford

No Party

One stated goal Limit House members to four terms and senators to two by constitutional amendment.

One checked action Holds no legislative record this desk can compare: he has served in neither Congress nor the Iowa Legislature, and the Secretary of State's list records his filing for this office on June 1, 2026, the day before the close of the February 23 to June 2 filing period that same document states for No Party and petition candidates.

Campaign cash $124,859 on , principal committee only.

Listed committee funding Other PACs (no organization type recorded): $5,000.

Through June 30, 2026. Cash above has its own date.

Funding scope

Itemized receipts from political committees in the 2026 cycle filing through June 30, 2026, grouped by the same rule used for the other two candidates: the FEC's recorded organization type or designation of the contributing committee. His filing itemizes one such contribution, $5,000 from the Forward Party, which the FEC records as a qualified hybrid political action committee with no organization type, so it falls in the same row that holds the other candidates' unclassified committees. The single row is the whole table and equals $5,000.00, the FEC summary's other-committee plus party contributions. Every other figure here is a sum of the filing's own itemized rows, not the matching line on the FEC's summary of the cycle, and the two can differ by whatever the filing did not itemize. Not in the table, by the same rule applied to the others: $22,505.25 of itemized line-11D contributions from the candidate, where the summary says $22,671.10; $100,000 in two candidate loans carried on Schedule C; and $61,852.37 of contributions from individuals, of which $15,152.37 is itemized from two limited liability companies.

Voter guide

The candidates, side by side

Goals come from each campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from government or official office records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so. Goals are summarized from each campaign's own platform page and stay attributed to the campaign. The record lines are official votes, sponsorships, and filings with the government source attached. Money is shown as filed, by the type the FEC records for the contributing committee, and is not evidence of why any position was taken. Money rows are itemized receipts from political committees; transfers from joint fundraising committees and the conduit entries for earmarked individual contributions sit on their own rows; other memo entries, reimbursements, and receipts from organizations that are not political committees are excluded; each candidate's note gives the filings it covers, and some notes also compare the rows with the campaign's own FEC summary.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Background

  • The sitting member for Iowa's first district, in office since January 2021; Congress.gov records her in the 117th Congress for the second district and in the 118th and 119th for the first. She chairs the Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Health and sits on Energy and Commerce.
  • Her official biography records 24 years in the United States Army as a private, nurse and doctor, four years directing the Iowa Department of Public Health from 2010, and an Iowa Senate seat won in 2018 and resigned on January 2, 2021 to take her House seat.

What they say they want to do

  • Extend the $35 monthly insulin cap that Medicare beneficiaries have to people on private insurance.
  • Keep pressing on care for veterans and service members.
  • Widen access to a quality education for every child.
  • Immigration enforcement of the kind the Laken Riley Act requires.

What the official record shows

  • Voted Yea on passage of H.R. 6833, the Affordable Insulin Now Act, on March 31, 2022 (Roll Call 102, passed 232 to 193); the Clerk's record shows twelve Republicans voting Yea, and she was one of them.
  • Voted Yea on passage of S. 5, the Laken Riley Act, on January 22, 2025 (Roll Call 23, passed 263 to 156); it became Public Law 119-1 on January 29, 2025.
  • Has sponsored 129 bills and resolutions plus five floor amendments across the 117th, 118th and 119th Congresses, and cosponsored 1,224; eleven of her own bills passed the House, and no bill she sponsored became law in its own right.

Christina Bohannan

Background

  • Iowa state representative for District 85 in the 89th General Assembly, from January 11, 2021 to January 8, 2023, her only term; the Legislature's record gives her home county as Johnson and her profession as professor of law at the University of Iowa College of Law and former engineer with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
  • Her campaign biography traces a mobile home in a town of 700, parents who did not finish high school, a father who lost his health insurance after he got sick, a degree in environmental engineering and work as an engineer on water quality, then law school and a long teaching career in Iowa City.

What they say they want to do

  • Make the cost of living her first priority, ending the tariffs she says raise prices, curbing corporate price gouging and lowering prescription drug costs.
  • Let Iowans buy into Medicare at any age, while opposing a single-payer system, and reverse this year's Medicaid cuts.
  • Ban stock trading by members of Congress, the executive branch, Supreme Court justices, their spouses and staff, and require divestment.
  • Protect Social Security and Medicare and shore up the trust funds, and expand Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing care.

What the official record shows

  • Sole sponsor of House File 2196 (2022), exempting feminine hygiene and incontinence products from the sales and use tax, introduced and referred to Ways and Means on February 1, 2022 with no further action recorded.
  • One of the three members of the first House subcommittee on Senate File 522, on older individuals and dependent adults, named March 10, 2021; that subcommittee recommended passage 3 to 0, the bill reached no House floor vote in 2021, and a second subcommittee that did not include her recommended it again in 2022 before the House passed it 96 to 0; the Senate had passed it 47 to 0, and it took effect July 1, 2022.
  • Is listed as a sponsor or floor manager on 33 bills and resolutions in the 89th General Assembly, the only one she served, five of them alone; none of those five advanced past its first committee referral.

Michael Bridgford

Background

  • A first-time candidate who has held no elective office. The Iowa Secretary of State's list records him as the No Party candidate for the district, filed June 1, 2026, and his FEC candidate record carries 2026 as his only election year.
  • His campaign describes him as an independent worker who pays for his family's health insurance himself, and uses that cost to separate himself from both opponents.

What they say they want to do

  • Limit House members to four terms and senators to two by constitutional amendment.
  • Ban members of Congress, their spouses and dependent children from trading individual stocks.
  • Reach a Social Security compromise that lifts the payroll tax cap while protecting current retirees and those within ten years of retirement.
  • Authorize year-round nationwide E15 permanently rather than by annual waiver.

What the official record shows

  • Holds no legislative record this desk can compare: he has served in neither Congress nor the Iowa Legislature, and the Secretary of State's list records his filing for this office on June 1, 2026, the day before the close of the February 23 to June 2 filing period that same document states for No Party and petition candidates.
  • His committee's only report of the cycle, the July Quarterly received July 15, 2026, records $189,523.47 in receipts and exactly one contribution from a political committee: $5,000 from the Forward Party, dated June 1, 2026.
  • The same filing itemizes $122,505.25 of the candidate's own money: $22,505.25 in line-11D contributions from him, which the FEC's summary of the cycle puts at $22,671.10, and two loans from him, $60,000 incurred April 20 and $40,000 incurred June 30, 2026, neither repaid.

Public statement

Four Iowa 1st District debate claims checked

From the October 20 KCRG-TV9 debate. Mariannette Miller-Meeks's votes for year-round E15 and for aid to Ukraine in 2022 and 2024 match the House record. Her phosphate fertilizer claim matches in direction: her bill has not left committee, and a June 2026 proclamation authorized suspending some of the duties. Her multi-cancer screening claim matches in direction: she is an original cosponsor of the House bill and voted for the 2026 act that made it law, for tests from January 1, 2029.

Named in this record: Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Issue comparison

What each campaign says

Each campaign's own positions, not promises The Stated Record has verified or endorsed.

Costs and the economy

Miller-Meeks's official economy page blames rising costs on the last administration's spending and energy policy, and lists her work to lift limits on energy production and gas exports. Bohannan's campaign backs ending the tariffs, keeping big investors from buying Iowa homes and land, and capping insulin at $35 for everyone. Bridgford's campaign blames spending by both parties for inflation and backs steady trade policy and a legal deficit target of 3 percent of GDP.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Her campaign site carries no issues page. Her official economy page blames inflation and household costs on the previous administration's spending and energy policy, and lists her work to end restrictions on energy production, protect hydraulic fracturing and lift limits on liquefied natural gas exports. The page's examples run to 2024 and it names no measure from this Congress.

Christina Bohannan

Her campaign says lowering costs is her first priority: exercising Congress's power to end the tariffs, barring hedge funds and private investors from buying Iowa homes and land, building and rehabilitating housing, letting Medicare negotiate more drug prices and capping insulin at $35 for everyone, cracking down on utility monopolies and on corporate price gouging on groceries and farm inputs.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign says reckless spending under both parties fuelled inflation and that inconsistent tariffs leave families and farmers unable to plan; he would seek stable long-term trade policy, a legal target holding the deficit to 3 percent of GDP or less, and strict pay-as-you-go rules requiring new spending to be offset.

Health care

Miller-Meeks's official statement says she is leading a bill to cap insulin at $35 on private insurance. Bohannan's campaign backs reversing Medicaid cuts, a Medicare buy-in at any age and $35 insulin caps. Bridgford's campaign backs upfront hospital prices, more Medicare pay for rural hospitals and drug-middleman transparency. On the record, Miller-Meeks cosponsors that bill, now in committee; her own House-passed bill makes drug middlemen report to health plans and is not law.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Her official health page, written in the first person as a physician and former director of the Iowa Department of Public Health, lists bills she says she worked on to lower drug costs, including on pharmacy benefit managers, Medicaid enrolment and non-opioid pain treatment. Her September 3, 2026 statement says she is leading a bipartisan bill to cap insulin at $35 a month for people on private insurance.

Christina Bohannan

Her campaign says she would reverse this year's Medicaid cuts, fully extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, let Iowans buy into Medicare at any age while opposing a single-payer system, cap insulin, epi pens and inhalers at $35, widen Medicare drug negotiation and extend the negotiated prices to private insurance, and add vision, dental, hearing and family-caregiver home health to Medicare.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign says he would require hospitals and insurers to publish exact upfront cash prices with penalties for non-compliance, raise Medicare reimbursement for critical access hospitals in rural counties, mandate site-neutral billing, correct Medicare Advantage overpayments and force transparency on pharmacy benefit managers.

Government accountability

Miller-Meeks's official releases back a ban on stock trading by members of Congress and spouses. Bohannan's and Bridgford's campaigns back a stock-trading ban, term limits and reversing Citizens United. On the record, Miller-Meeks cosponsored and voted for the House-passed ban, which is not law. Bohannan's filings show no corporate PAC money, though 79 donor committees list no type; Bridgford's show no corporate PAC money, and 64.6 percent of his receipts are his own.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

She has no standing position section on this subject, and the positions she has taken on it are in her newsroom. Her campaign site carries no issues page, and across the seven subject pages her official issues index links the words ethics, term limits, campaign finance, Citizens United and dark money do not appear at all, nor do they appear in any headline or summary on her official press-release index from December 4, 2024 to September 3, 2026. Congressional stock trading is the exception, and it appears twice. On November 19, 2025 she called on the House Committee on Administration to advance a ban covering members and their spouses, in her own words "Members of Congress should not be trading individual stocks while writing laws and receiving nonpublic briefings." She is one of the cosponsors of the Restore Trust in Congress Act, H.R. 5106 of the 119th Congress, which sits in that committee. A July 22, 2026 release, carried on her delivering-results page as well, says the House passed the Stop Insider Trading Act, which it describes as led by her.

Christina Bohannan

Her campaign says she takes no corporate PAC money and would ban stock trading by members of Congress, the executive branch and Supreme Court justices with divestment, pass an amendment reversing Citizens United, institute term limits and age caps, create an independent congressional ethics agency, bar members and their families from lobbying, and open primaries to independents through the Let America Vote Act.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign makes this his central theme: a four-term cap for House members by constitutional amendment, a ban on members and their families trading individual stocks, an amendment reversing Citizens United with 24-hour disclosure of donations over $10,000 in the meantime, a 72-hour rule to read spending bills, a pledge to vote against omnibus packages, and a blind trust for his own investments.

Farms, biofuels and the rural economy

Miller-Meeks's official page backs nationwide E15 sales. Bohannan's campaign backs family farms and action against agricultural monopolies; Bridgford's backs farm antitrust enforcement and year-round E15. Miller-Meeks cosponsored and voted for the E15 bill that passed the House in May 2026; it is not law. Her phosphate-fertilizer tariff bill remains in committee. A presidential proclamation authorized temporary relief on some Moroccan phosphate duties; this does not establish that her bill caused it or that relief took effect.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Her official energy page says she led efforts to allow the sale of E15 in Iowa and nationwide, alongside her work on domestic energy production; her newsroom records her voting for H.R. 1346 to authorize year-round nationwide E15 on May 13, 2026. Neither her campaign site nor her official issues index carries a page on agriculture or the farm bill.

Christina Bohannan

Her campaign says Iowa has lost 30,000 family farms to consolidation, that tariffs and trade wars threaten farms more than in many years, and that input costs on seed and fertiliser reflect monopoly practices; she would direct farm policy to independent family operations and pursue the companies squeezing them.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign says he grew up on a seventh-generation family farm and would fight for a family-farm-first farm bill safeguarding crop insurance and raising loan limits for beginning farmers, enforce antitrust law against seed, fertiliser and meatpacking concentration, permanently authorize year-round nationwide E15, and ban farmland purchases by foreign adversaries.

Schools and education

Miller-Meeks's official page lists bills she says she worked on, including school security funds, a tax-credit school choice measure and children's mental health programs. Bohannan's campaign opposes school vouchers and backs more school funding from pre-K to college, with a focus on rural schools. Bridgford's campaign says Iowa fell to 27th in a national ranking and backs federal waivers that cut paperwork and send money to classrooms.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Her official education page says every American child deserves access to a quality education and lists bills she says she worked on: loan counselling before federal student loans are disbursed, letting states use unspent recovery funds for school security, a tax-credit school choice measure she cosponsored, and reauthorizing children's mental and behavioural health programmes.

Christina Bohannan

Her campaign says Iowa once ranked first in public education and now suffers funding shortfalls, and opposes the state and national voucher plans she says her opponent supports; she would reinvest at every level from pre-K to universities and apprenticeships, focus on rural and small-town schools, expand career and technical education, and guarantee school and summer lunch.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign says Iowa's national education ranking fell to 27th in the 2026 Kids Count Data Book, with 71 percent of fourth graders not proficient in reading and 73 percent of eighth graders not proficient in maths; he would back federal unified waiver programmes that cut reporting requirements and send the money to classrooms to reduce class sizes, protect electives and fund literacy training.

Water, land and cancer risk

Miller-Meeks lists no water or cancer-rate position on the pages and posts checked. Bohannan's campaign ties Iowa's cancer growth to chemicals in the water and backs cutting PFAS. Bridgford's campaign backs conservation funds to cut nitrate runoff, no legal shields for pesticide makers and a federal investigation of cancer clusters. On the record, Bohannan cosponsored three 2021 Iowa bills on lead testing in water; none mentions PFAS or left committee.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

No position on water quality, nitrate or Iowa's cancer rate appears in the scope this desk searched: the seven subject pages her official issues index links, which are delivering results, border security, economy, health, energy, veterans and education; every page of her official press-release index, headline and summary for each item, from the newest item of September 3, 2026 back to December 4, 2024; her campaign site, which carries no issues page and whose news list ends on December 6, 2024; and her own posts on X from both of her accounts, her campaign account and her official office account, 204 items and 146, 350 in all, posts and replies together, published from July 1, 2026 to the retrieval on September 13, 2026 and collected in full, each account exhausted rather than stopped at a cap. Nitrate, water quality, drinking water and PFAS return nothing in any of them, and neither do conservation, environment, climate, pesticide, runoff or contamination in the posts. The word cancer appears eight times on the issue pages and twelve times on the press index, each time in a breast-cancer measure, a cancer-screening provision or an awareness item, and never in connection with Iowa's rate or its causes; it appears four times in the posts, twice on her breast-cancer bill, once on cancer care funded through a rural health programme and once on a general commitment to cancer research, prevention and early detection, and in none of them on Iowa's rate or its causes. The word water appears in four of the posts, and in none of them as a question of quality: a tour of a surface water treatment plant where she says she talked through affordability and utility rates for rural communities, a speech on inland waterways as trade infrastructure, a steel mill's reuse of water on a manufacturing tour, and free watermelon at a county fair. The word land appears in three, on the estate tax and family farms, on Independence Day, and in a tribute to a farm advocate.

Christina Bohannan

Her campaign says Iowa ranks highest in the country for cancer growth and ties that to water and chemical exposure; among what she would fight for she lists action to reduce PFAS and other chemicals in the water, alongside protecting family farms from corporate consolidation and the state's natural resources.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign says Iowa has the second-highest cancer rate in the nation and the highest in the Midwest; he would oppose liability shields for pesticide manufacturers, expand Environmental Quality Incentives Program funding for voluntary conservation to cut nitrate runoff, press for state rebates for radon mitigation and reverse osmosis systems, and fund federal investigation of Iowa's cancer clusters.

Veterans and the military

Miller-Meeks's official page lists her veterans bills, including on suicide prevention. Bohannan's campaign lists no veterans position on the pages checked; she has raised concern about strikes on Venezuela without Congress's approval. Bridgford's campaign lists no veterans position on the pages checked; in posts he writes about defense spending and Iran. On the record, Miller-Meeks's SERVICE Act, on veterans' mammograms, stalled in a subcommittee; the Senate's version became law in 2022.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Her official veterans page, which opens on her 24 years in the Army, says she will continue to champion veterans' needs and lists bills on VA accountability, suicide prevention, cannabis research, mammography screening and breast imaging, and a vote for the largest military pay raise in twenty years. She chairs the Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Health.

Christina Bohannan

On the use of military force she has taken a position; on veterans' affairs this desk finds none. Her statement of January 3, 2026 on the strikes against Venezuela says "we should all be concerned about continued offensive military measures" taken without congressional authorization against a country that poses no immediate threat, and that "there should be no American troops on the ground in Venezuela." None of the eight sections of her campaign priorities page is about veterans or the military: they are costs, government, health care, education, family farms and natural resources, seniors and Social Security, freedom, and a family friendly economy. Across the 45 items her site serves through its own content interface, 29 posts that are its news archive, 8 pages and 8 priorities, the word veteran appears in two posts: a news item on the road of honour to the national cemetery in Keokuk, and her campaign announcement, where it names cuts she attributes to her opponent rather than a position of her own.

Michael Bridgford

On the military he has spoken, and in his own posts rather than on his site. Writing on July 16, 2026 about a request for defence funding, he said "Here we are needing ~$80b in defense funding when less than a yr ago we had ~$90b in “use or lose” Pentagon $." and that "IMO the uniparty just doesn’t care". On July 14, 2026, on the engagement with Iran, he wrote that "it’s a lot easier to get in than it is to get out", called that a lesson that should have been learned "from our prior entanglements in the Middle East", and added "My thoughts are with our troops in harms way and hope that they all come home safely - and soon." On veterans' own affairs this desk finds no position. None appears in the eleven issue panels of his campaign issues page, which cover representation, affordability, term limits and campaign finance, Social Security, corruption, the Constitution, water and education, health care, agriculture, artificial intelligence and manufacturing; searching his site's News page for veteran returns nothing either, and so does searching the whole JavaScript bundle the site serves, which carries the text of every page, zero occurrences in its 587,449 bytes; and across his 451 posts and replies, published from July 1, 2026 to the retrieval on September 13, 2026 and collected in full, the account exhausted rather than stopped at a cap, veteran appears once, in an August 1, 2026 post recording that he met a veteran frustrated with politics in Washington at the Des Moines County Fair, which is an encounter and not a position. VA, GI Bill, TRICARE, National Guard, servicemember and deployment return nothing in those posts.

Social Security and retirement

Miller-Meeks's bill would make the $6,000 seniors tax break permanent; she lists no trust fund position. Bohannan's campaign backs shoring up the trust funds and opposes cuts and privatization. Bridgford's campaign backs lifting the payroll tax cap, with no changes for retirees or people near retirement. On the record, Bohannan sat on the Iowa House panel that first backed a 2021 elder abuse bill; a later panel without her moved it, and it became law.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Her position is on the taxation of Social Security benefits, and it is in her official newsroom rather than on her issue pages. She sponsored H.R. 7550 of the 119th Congress, the Permanent Tax Relief for Seniors Act, introduced February 12, 2026 with three cosponsors and referred to Ways and Means, which would remove the 2028 expiry from the $6,000 seniors deduction that the Working Families Tax Cuts created; her release that day quotes her saying "My bill ensures those savings don’t expire, because seniors have earned the right to keep more of what they worked their whole lives for." Her February 9, 2026 release carries the same subject, and a February 6 event item from Pella carries the deduction without naming Social Security. On the solvency of the trust funds this desk finds no position: the words solvency and trust fund appear on none of her seven issue pages, in none of those three releases, and in no headline or summary on her official press-release index from December 4, 2024 to September 3, 2026.

Christina Bohannan

Her campaign says seniors have earned and depend on Social Security and Medicare and that she would shore up the trust funds to fully fund them for future generations, oppose cuts and privatisation, let Iowans buy into Medicare at any age, widen Medicare drug negotiation, and add dental, vision, hearing and family-caregiver home health coverage.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign says the 2026 Trustees Report puts depletion of the retirement fund at 2032 with an automatic cut of up to 24 percent; he would lift the payroll tax cap above $184,500, vote against changes for current retirees and anyone within ten years of retirement, slow benefit growth for the wealthiest 5 percent of future retirees, and put a legal lockbox around the trust funds.

Work, wages and manufacturing

Miller-Meeks's official statement backs union rights for Rock Island Arsenal workers. Bohannan's campaign backs more jobs and higher wages, investing in organized labor and job training. Bridgford's campaign backs tax credits for union apprenticeships, Buy American enforcement and no tax breaks for firms that outsource Iowa manufacturing. On the record, Bohannan was sole sponsor of two 2021 Iowa bills on wage collection and worker misclassification; neither left committee.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

On unions and collective bargaining her position is in her official newsroom. A joint statement she and Representative Eric Sorensen released on April 16, 2026, after the Army announced the cancellation of its collective bargaining agreements with the American Federation of Government Employees, says "The workers who support our armed forces should have the right to join a union and collectively bargain for fair wages and working conditions. We will continue to advocate for Rock Island Arsenal employees against this decision to end the Department of War's collective bargaining agreements." On the minimum wage this desk finds no position: minimum wage appears on none of her seven issue pages and in no headline or summary on her official press-release index from December 4, 2024 to September 3, 2026. Her official economy page addresses manufacturing through a bill directing a study of making critical-infrastructure goods in the United States.

Christina Bohannan

Her campaign's only plank on work and wages is one line in its cost-of-living list: growing Iowa's economy to increase jobs and wages while continuing to invest in organized labor and union protected man hours. Her education section adds skills training and apprenticeships and career and technical education. The priorities page carries no position on the minimum wage, prevailing wages or the right to organize, and it ties layoffs at the John Deere Bettendorf plant to tariffs and trade uncertainty.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign says a journeyman's card is as valuable as a master's degree and he would expand federal tax credits for southeast Iowa employers and labour organizations that train apprentices in earn-and-learn union programmes, enforce Buy American provisions against waivers for foreign steel and aluminium, and strip tax relief from firms that outsource Iowa manufacturing.

The border and immigration

Miller-Meeks's official border page lists her votes for the SAVE Act, on proof of citizenship to register to vote, and the Laken Riley Act. Bohannan's campaign site has no border section; in a post she writes that she has always said we must secure the border. Bridgford's issues page has no immigration section; in a TV answer posted on his site he says he believes we need a secure border.

What each campaign says

Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Her official border security page sets out a series of figures on the previous administration's border record and lists her votes for the SAVE Act requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and for the Laken Riley Act requiring ICE to arrest people charged with theft offences, and her cosponsorship of a bill making it a crime to flee a pursuing officer.

Christina Bohannan

Her position is in her own posts rather than on her campaign site. On July 6, 2026, quoting a post of her opponent's about border policies, she wrote "Miller-Meeks knows I disagreed with Biden on immigration and that I have always said we must secure the border." and said her opponent had heard it directly from her, sitting across a table, on live television during their last debate. That is the only post on the subject among the 179 posts and replies her account published from July 1, 2026 to the retrieval on September 13, 2026, collected in full and exhausted rather than stopped at a cap; immigrat, border, deport, migrant and asylum return nothing in the other 178, and ICE never appears there as the agency's name. Her site carries nothing on it: no section on immigration or the border appears among the eight sections of her campaign priorities page, and this desk read her whole site through its own content interface, all 45 items it serves, 29 posts that are its news archive, 8 pages and 8 priorities, where immigrat, border and deport return nothing and ICE never appears as the agency's name either. The campaign's own framing of freedom covers speech, property, education, health care decisions and reproductive rights rather than immigration.

Michael Bridgford

His campaign issues page carries no immigration panel, but his site's News page carries his own words on the border: it reproduces his answer on WHBF's 4 The Record of August 23, 2026: "I believe we need a secure border. I think that's a policy that Republicans support." The same answer pairs that with stepping away from the trade wars, which he calls a policy Democrats support. A second item on that page, a WHO 13 interview of April 16, 2026, lists immigration among the subjects he discussed. The eleven issue panels themselves name neither immigration nor the border; the closest thing in them is a pledge in his agriculture panel to ban foreign adversaries, naming China and Russia, from buying American farmland.

Where statements meet official action

Each card sets one thing a candidate says beside their own official record, with one label from a fixed list and its limit. No card says why someone did something.

How the cards work

The number of cards varies with what each candidate's official record supports, and every card carries the same required parts: what they say, what the official record shows, one label from the fixed list, and its limit. Each card is labeled narrowly, by rule. A single vote, sponsorship, or filing can match one claim without proving a candidate's whole record.

Her official statement says she is leading a bipartisan bill to cap insulin at $35 a month for people on private insurance, and that in 2022 she was one of only twelve Republicans who voted to pass the Affordable Insulin Now Act.

“In 2022, I was one of only 12 Republicans to cross party lines and vote to pass the Affordable Insulin Now Act, capping insulin at $35 a month for Medicare seniors.”

What the record shows ·

The Clerk's roll call for March 31, 2022 records the House passing H.R. 6833, the Affordable Insulin Now Act, 232 to 193 (Roll Call 102), with exactly twelve Republicans voting Yea, and she is one of the twelve. As the House passed it, the bill capped cost-sharing at $35 a month under both private insurance and the Medicare drug benefit; it never became law in that form, and its bill number was later used for an unrelated appropriations act. The $35 Medicare insulin cap that is law came from section 11406 of the Inflation Reduction Act, Public Law 117-169, on which she voted Nay when the House agreed to the Senate amendment 220 to 207 on August 12, 2022 (Roll Call 420). She is one of seven cosponsors of the INSULIN Act of 2026, H.R. 10227, recorded as an original cosponsor on the day Representative DeGette introduced it, September 2, 2026; it sits in committee.

Limit: The countable part of her claim is exactly right: twelve Republicans voted Yea on that roll call and she was one. Two things the statement does not say are on the record beside it. The bill she voted for did not become law, and the act that did put a $35 cap on insulin for Medicare beneficiaries is one she voted against. On the 2026 bill she is an original cosponsor, not its sponsor. Whether a cap is good policy, and whether her reason for the 2022 vote against the larger act was insulin, are not questions this card assesses.

Her official issues page says she championed the SERVICE Act, directing the VA to provide mammogram screening for veterans who served where burn pits and other toxic exposure occurred, and that the bill passed the House and was signed into law.

“I championed the SERVICE Act: a bill that would direct the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide mammogram screening for female veterans who served in areas associated with burn pits and other toxic exposure. This bill passed the House and was signed into law.”

What the record shows ·

The SERVICE Act became law. She sponsored the House bill, H.R. 4571, the SERVICE Act of 2021, introduced July 20, 2021 with nineteen cosponsors; its last recorded action is referral to the Subcommittee on Health on September 8, 2021, so her own bill never reached the floor. The act that was enacted is the Senate companion, S. 2102, the Dr. Kate Hendricks Thomas SERVICE Act, sponsored by Senator Boozman: the House passed it 418 to 0 under suspension on May 18, 2022 (Roll Call 228) and it became Public Law 117-133 on June 7, 2022. Its enacted text carries the mammography screening directive her page describes. This desk also read the whole enacted text of the PACT Act, Public Law 117-168, because that act is the usual home for toxic-exposure provisions, and found no mammography or breast-cancer provision in it.

Limit: The subject became law and she sponsored the House bill on it, so "championed" holds and so does "passed the House and was signed into law" about the SERVICE Act. The bill that passed and was signed was the Senate's, not hers; hers stopped at a subcommittee. The check read the enacted text of both public laws named here and the action history of her own bill. Whether the screening the act directs has reached Iowa veterans is a question about administration, which this card does not assess.

Her official issues pages say she introduced two bills, the Accelerating Kids' Access to Care Act and the MAMMO for Veterans Act.

“I introduced H.R. 4758, the Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act: A bipartisan bill passed by the House to reduce barriers for children with complex medical conditions, facilitating access to out-of-state care by streamlining the Medicaid provider enrollment process.”

What the record shows ·

Congress.gov records one sponsor for each bill, and it is not her. H.R. 4758 was introduced by Representative Lori Trahan on July 19, 2023; Miller-Meeks is recorded as its first cosponsor and its only original cosponsor, added the same day, of 124 cosponsors in all. The bill passed the House by voice vote on September 17, 2024 and was received in the Senate, as her page says. H.R. 4794, the Making Advances in Mammography and Medical Options for Veterans Act, was introduced by Representative Julia Brownley on July 29, 2021, with Miller-Meeks again the first cosponsor and the only original one, of twenty-three in all; that bill's last action is a subcommittee hearing, and the act became law as the Senate companion S. 2533, Public Law 117-135. Across the 117th, 118th and 119th Congresses she sponsored 129 bills and resolutions, and neither of these two is among them. Both bills were co-led, and her own releases at the time say so. Her release of May 18, 2022 records that in July of 2021 she, Brownley and Boozman joined Senator Jon Tester, the chair of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, to introduce the MAMMO for Veterans Act. Her release of September 17, 2024 says she and Trahan "celebrated passage of their" Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act, quotes her on "Our legislation", and quotes Trahan calling it "my bipartisan Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act". The Sponsor field on Congress.gov names exactly one member for a bill by design, so it cannot record a co-lead.

Limit: Congress lists Trahan and Brownley as the sponsors, and Miller-Meeks as the only original cosponsor of each, added the day they were introduced. Her own releases say both were introduced jointly.

Her campaign account says she wrote legislation to ban congressional stock trading. Her office separately says the House passed such a ban led by her.

“I don't own a single individual stock. I wrote legislation to ban congressional stock trading. If you write the laws, you shouldn't profit from them.”

What the record shows ·

Across the 117th, 118th and 119th Congresses she sponsored 129 bills and resolutions, and none of them concerns congressional stock trading. Both bills on the subject that carry her name are someone else's. H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, was introduced by Representative Bryan Steil on January 12, 2026; she is an original cosponsor recorded that day, 36th of 93 in the listed order and 36th of the 72 original cosponsors, and she voted Yea when the House passed it 232 to 198 on July 22, 2026 (Roll Call 280). It was placed on the Senate calendar on August 6, 2026 and is not law. H.R. 5106, the Restore Trust in Congress Act, was introduced by Representative Chip Roy on September 3, 2025; she is not an original cosponsor of it and joined on September 11, 2025, 47th of 142. Her office's own releases describe her role three ways, and none of them is authorship. The release of November 19, 2025 states plainly that she is a cosponsor of the Restore Trust in Congress Act, and records a letter she sent to Chairman Bryan Steil and Ranking Member Joe Morelle asking the Committee to unify the proposals that already existed into one enforceable reform, naming a full ban on individual stock trading by members and spouses, blind trusts or index funds as the alternative, and uniform enforcement with real penalties; Steil introduced H.R. 7008 fifty-four days later. The release of July 22, 2026 is headed House Passes Miller-Meeks Backed Bill to Ban Congressional Stock Trading, and its first sentence calls the bill led by her, so her office's headline and its lede do not agree with each other. She does not sit on the Committee on House Administration, which both bills were referred to, and that committee's report on H.R. 7008, H. Rept. 119-479 of February 3, 2026, does not name her anywhere, and does not mention Iowa: it credits the introduction to Steil, and the substitute amendment adopted at markup to Steil. She uses the same verb accurately about a bill that is hers: on August 26, 2026 she posted that she wrote the Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act, and she is its sponsor.

Limit: The official actions behind this label are two cosponsorships and a Yea vote when the House passed a ban 232 to 198, and the desk names them because the label requires it. On the word wrote, the record is not silent by accident: it holds sponsorship, cosponsorship, committee action and floor statements, and it records who drafted a bill nowhere, for any member, because most bill text is drafted by the Legislative Counsel at a member's request. A claim to have written legislation is therefore one the official record can neither confirm nor refute, here or anywhere, and this desk does not treat a record that cannot test a claim as a record that defeats it. What the record can show is set out above and a reader can weigh it: no bill of her own on the subject across 129 bills and resolutions, 36th of the seventy-two original cosponsors filed the same day on H.R. 7008, not an original cosponsor of H.R. 5106 at all, her own office calling her a cosponsor under a headline calling it a bill she backed, and a committee report that does not name her on a committee she does not sit on. It also shows the nearest documented thing to authorship: seven weeks before H.R. 7008 existed she wrote to its eventual sponsor, the chairman of that committee, asking him to build a package whose contents it partly matches. The post claims she wrote legislation on a subject. It does not claim any bill of hers passed, and this card does not read it as though it did. The post also carries a video this desk did not watch. What the ban would cover is a question about the bill's text, which this card does not assess.

What they say

Her campaign account says she wrote the law against the drug middlemen and that the House passed her bill to lower premiums.

“So I wrote the law to break the drug middlemen, and the House passed my bill to lower premiums for all Americans.”

What the record shows ·

H.R. 6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, is her own bill: she is its sponsor and introduced it on December 15, 2025. The House passed it 216 to 211 on December 17, 2025 (Roll Call 349), having rejected a motion to recommit 210 to 218 the same day, and the Senate received it on December 18. It is not law. Its second title, Lowering Health Care Premiums for Everyone, has two sections. Section 201 writes oversight of entities that provide pharmacy benefit management services into the Public Health Service Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code: for plan years beginning thirty months after enactment such an entity would have to report to the group health plan it serves at least every six months, in plain language and in a machine-readable format, and no plan, issuer or such entity could contract with anyone who would limit or delay the information those reports require. The bill never uses the phrase pharmacy benefit manager; its own term is an entity providing pharmacy benefit management services, and the words pharmacy benefit appear 88 times in the text the House passed. Spread pricing appears nowhere in it, and it carries no divestiture or ownership provision. Section 202 permanently appropriates the cost-sharing reduction payments of section 1402 of the Affordable Care Act for plan years beginning January 1, 2027, and bars those funds from any qualified health plan that covers abortion, except where the pregnancy threatens the mother's life or results from rape or incest. The first title, Improving Health Care Options for Workers, is association health plans, an exclusion from the definition of health insurance coverage for certain medical stop-loss insurance, and health reimbursement arrangements.

Limit: The bill is hers, the House did pass it, and its second title is about pharmacy benefit managers, which is what the drug middlemen names. Two things the record does not carry. It is not law: it passed one chamber and has sat in the Senate since December 18, 2025. And what section 201 does to those entities is require them to disclose, twice a year, in a form the health plan can read; the text the House passed bans no practice and breaks up nothing, so that verb is the post's characterization of a reporting requirement. The post names the middlemen only, and section 202 is the part of the same title with the plainest effect on premiums and the sharpest politics: it funds the Affordable Care Act's cost-sharing reductions permanently and withholds that money from plans covering abortion. Whether the bill would lower premiums is a question about its effects, which this card does not assess.

What the record shows ·

Senate File 522 of the 89th General Assembly relates to older individuals and dependent adults and creates criminal offenses and civil actions with penalties. The Legislature's bill history names her as one of the three members of its first House subcommittee on March 10, 2021, Hite, Bohannan and Kaufmann, and records that subcommittee recommending passage 3 to 0 on March 25, 2021. The bill then stopped: the history marks the end of the 2021 actions with no committee report and no House floor vote. On February 28, 2022 the House named a second subcommittee on the same bill, Hite, Anderson and Kaufmann, which did not include her; it recommended passage 3 to 0 on March 3, 2022, the committee reported the bill on March 15 and the House passed it, as amended, 96 to 0 on March 23, 2022. The Senate had passed it 47 to 0 on March 9, 2021, and the history carries an effective date of July 1, 2022. She is not a sponsor or floor manager of it: the Legislature's sponsor-or-floor-manager list for her carries 33 other measures.

Limit: She says she worked on the bill and helped pass it, and the official history shows both: a named seat on the subcommittee that first recommended it, and a bill that passed and took effect. Her seat did not carry it to the floor. The bill advanced no further in 2021, and the subcommittee that moved it in 2022, to the committee report and the floor, did not include her. She did not sponsor or floor-manage it, and the House vote was 96 to 0, so no single member's support decided it. This desk read the bill history and not the House Journal page for March 23, 2022, so her individual floor vote is not separately confirmed here.

“Take action to reduce PFAS and other chemicals in our water”

What the record shows ·

In her single term she was a sponsor of three 2021 bills on testing water for lead: House File 504, on using grants-to-counties money for lead and copper testing in water supply systems, introduced February 15 and referred to Environmental Protection; House File 569, on water bottle filling stations and lead testing in school districts, introduced February 17 and referred to Education; and House File 594, on lead testing in water systems serving child care facilities and schools, introduced February 18 and referred to Education. She was the last-named of between four and six sponsors on each. None has any action recorded after its referral, and the histories close with the end of the 2021 session.

Limit: The three sponsorships move in the direction her platform states, on a narrower subject: they are about testing for lead and copper, while the platform sentence names PFAS, which none of them mentions. None became law, and the Iowa House was held by the other party in both years of her term, so no inference about her effectiveness follows from that. Nothing here is a federal record, because she has none.

What they say

Her campaign's list of what she would do to lower costs ends with growing Iowa's economy to raise jobs and wages while continuing to invest in organized labour.

“Growing Iowa’s economy to increase jobs and wages while continuing to invest in organized labor and union protected man hours”

What the record shows ·

Two of the five bills she sponsored alone are on exactly this: House File 634, on wage payment collection issues between employers and employees, providing penalties and remedies, and House File 635, increasing penalties for employers who willfully misclassify employees for unemployment compensation purposes. Both were introduced on February 23, 2021 and referred to the Labor committee, and neither has any action recorded after that referral.

Limit: Two bills she wrote alone address wage collection and employee misclassification, which runs the same way as a platform line about raising wages and investing in organized labour. The match is at the level of direction and no closer: the platform names neither subject, and it takes no position on the minimum wage, prevailing wages or the right to organize, so nothing here is a match on specifics. Neither bill left committee, so there is no vote or outcome to weigh. This card sets a state record beside a federal platform, which is the only comparison her record allows.

The government section of her campaign priorities page says she takes no corporate PAC money and would reject the influence of money and special interests in Congress.

“I take no corporate PAC money.”

What the record shows ·

Her committee's itemized receipts from political committees in the 2025-2026 cycle filings through June 30, 2026 carry no contribution from any committee the FEC records as corporation-connected, and none from a corporation without capital stock: those two rows are missing from her money table because the filing has nothing to put in them. What it does itemize from committees is $93,500 from 17 labour organization PACs, $48,490 from 11 membership organization PACs, $34,400 from 17 other candidates' committees, $10,720.79 from 3 party committees, $5,000 from one trade association PAC, and $310,537.50 from 79 committees for which the FEC records no organization type at all. Over the same period the incumbent's filing itemizes $706,425.00 from 213 corporation-connected PACs and $11,000 from 2 corporations without capital stock.

What the filings show

No itemized contribution from a corporation-connected PAC, against $706,425.00 from 213 such committees itemized by the incumbent's committee over the same period.

Amounts are what the filings record, grouped by the FEC's own committee types. They are not a measure of a candidate's independence, and no contribution here is placed beside any position as its cause.

Limit: The claim is checkable and the filing bears it out on the FEC's own classification: not one itemized contribution from a committee the FEC records as connected to a corporation. The check is only as fine as that classification. 79 of the committees that gave to her carry no recorded organization type, $310,537.50 in all, so this desk cannot say what each of them is. A trade association PAC gave $5,000, and a trade association is a business organization, though the FEC does not record it as corporation-connected. The $2,678,013.78 conduit row is money individuals earmarked through a fundraising platform rather than committee money, and the $856,878.72 of transfers comes from joint fundraising committees. Whether any of that amounts to corporate money is not a question the filings answer, and this desk does not answer it either.

What the record shows ·

His committee's July Quarterly, received July 15, 2026 and covering April 1 to June 30, 2026, itemizes one contribution from a political committee across the whole cycle: $5,000 from the Forward Party on June 1, 2026, which the FEC records as a qualified hybrid political action committee. No contribution from a corporation-connected, trade association, leadership or party committee appears in it. Of $189,523.47 in receipts, $122,505.25 is his own money as the filing itemizes it: $22,505.25 in contributions from the candidate, which the FEC's summary of the cycle puts at $22,671.10, and two candidate loans of $60,000 and $40,000, neither repaid. Contributions from individuals total $61,852.37, of which $14,000 came from one limited liability company in four same-day contributions and $1,152.37 from another. The other two committees' filings over the same cycle itemize $2,421,206.95 and $502,648.29 in committee and party contributions.

What the filings show

One committee contribution of $5,000, against $2,421,206.95 and $502,648.29 of committee and party contributions itemized by the two major-party committees over the same period.

Amounts are what the filings record, grouped by the FEC's own committee types. They are not a measure of a candidate's independence, and no contribution here is placed beside any position as its cause.

Limit: The specific list he names is borne out: his filing itemizes no lobby, corporate, trade or leadership-PAC money at all. Two things sit beside that. One political committee did contribute, the Forward Party's $5,000, and this desk does not rule on whether a party's own hybrid PAC counts as a special interest. And "built by people" is measured against a filing in which 64.6 percent of receipts is his own money as that filing itemizes it, including $100,000 in loans he has not been repaid. His first report covers a full quarter while his opponents' cover the six weeks after the primary, so period-to-period comparisons here are not like for like.

“I will support and vote for a Constitutional Amendment strictly limiting U.S. Representatives to four terms (eight years) and U.S. Senators to two terms (twelve years) to end the era of career politicians.”

What the record shows ·

There is no official legislative record to set beside this. He has held no seat in Congress or the Iowa Legislature, so no roll call, sponsorship or cosponsorship exists in his name; the Iowa Secretary of State's candidate list is the only government record of him this desk found, and his FEC candidate record carries 2026 as his only election year. A stock-trading ban did pass the House on July 22, 2026 without him, since he is not a member.

Limit: A pledge about future votes cannot be checked against a record that does not exist. He has never held office, so this desk records the pledge and the absence of any comparable action, and nothing more. That absence is not a finding about him; it is what a first candidacy looks like in the official record.

What the record shows ·

H.R. 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025, was introduced by Representative Adrian Smith on February 13, 2025, and she is an original cosponsor. The House passed it 218 to 203 on May 13, 2026 (Roll Call 164), and she voted Yea. 122 Republicans, 95 Democrats and one independent voted Yea; 90 Republicans and 113 Democrats voted Nay. The Senate received it and referred it to its Environment and Public Works Committee. It is not law.

Limit: The House did pass the bill, she backed it from the day it was filed, and she voted for it. She is a cosponsor, not the sponsor, so "I passed" means she was one of 218 Yea votes. Members of both parties voted on each side. The bill has not passed the Senate, so year-round E15 is not law through this bill.

What the record shows ·

She is the sponsor of H.R. 8583, the Lowering Input Costs for American Farmers Act, introduced April 29, 2026 with Representative Hinson. It would bar duties on phosphate fertilizer under sections 122 and 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and end the countervailing duty orders on phosphate fertilizer from Morocco. It was referred to the Ways and Means Committee, and no later action is recorded. On June 29, 2026 the White House announced a proclamation declaring an emergency and authorizing a temporary suspension of certain anti-dumping and countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizer from Morocco, for eight months or until the emergency ends. Her office's release of July 1, 2026 credits that step and names her bill.

Limit: The bill is hers and it aims at the duties she named. A presidential proclamation, not her bill, which has not left committee, authorized suspending some of them. The relief is a suspension for up to eight months, not a repeal, and it covers the Morocco duties; this desk did not check what happened to any section 122 or 301 duty on phosphate. Whether her bill led to the proclamation is not something the record shows. This desk did not read the proclamation itself or check whether the suspension took effect.

She voted Yea on the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, H.R. 7691, which passed the House 368 to 57 on May 10, 2022 (Roll Call 145) and became Public Law 117-128. She voted Yea on the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, H.R. 8035, which passed the House 311 to 112 on April 20, 2024 (Roll Call 151), with 101 Republicans for it and 112 against. That text became law as Division B of H.R. 815, Public Law 118-50, which funds the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.

Limit: Both Yea votes are on the Clerk's record, and the text of both is law, the 2024 one as part of H.R. 815. In 2024 more House Republicans voted against the Ukraine bill than for it, and she was among those for it.

In the October 20 KCRG-TV9 debate, Miller-Meeks said she introduced and passed into law multi-cancer early detection, and in her closing that she passed a bill for it.

What the record shows ·

The House bill, H.R. 842, the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act, was introduced by Representative Jodey Arrington on January 31, 2025, and she is an original cosponsor, added that day. None of the bills she had sponsored as of September 13, 2026 has multi-cancer in its title. Medicare coverage of multi-cancer early detection screening tests became law in Division J, Health Care Extenders, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, H.R. 7148, Public Law 119-75, signed February 3, 2026. She voted Yea when the House passed that act 341 to 88 on January 22, 2026 (Roll Call 45) and when it agreed to the Senate's changes 217 to 214 on February 3, 2026 (Roll Call 53). The enacted text covers tests furnished on or after January 1, 2029. Her office's release that day calls it legislation she led.

Limit: What she backed became law, and she backed it from the day the House bill was filed and voted for the act that carried it. Congress lists Arrington as the one sponsor, and she is an original cosponsor, so "introduced" means she joined the bill when it was filed rather than filed it herself. The record does not show who drafted it. Coverage applies to tests furnished from January 1, 2029, so no one has the benefit yet; her office's release gave 2028.

Record does not bear out the claim

At the October 20 debate, Miller-Meeks said the House passed a bipartisan farm bill in 2024 that Senate Democrats held up.

What the record shows ·

H.R. 8467 cleared the Agriculture Committee 33–21 but never passed the full House. She voted for a separate farm bill that passed the House 224–200 in April 2026.

Limit: Congress separately extended the 2018 farm bill in December 2024. That extension became law; this checks her claim about the stalled 2024 bill.
