WHEN WILL MILLER-MEEKS HOLD A TOWN HALL?
MMM: “WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER”
Bohannan: “It’s time to stop hiding from Iowans, come forward, and defend your record of higher prices, chaotic tariffs, and special interest, pay-to-play politics. It’s time you answered to Iowans for once – not just your Washington special interest donors.”
Iowa City, IA – Despite her promise to host in person town halls, a new video shows Rep. Miller-Meeks callously dismissing her pledge to answer to Iowans on recent votes to gut Medicaid, double Iowans’ healthcare premiums, and send the cost of living skyrocketing. Unfortunately, Miller-Meeks meets with her special interest donors day after day, week after week–so that she can collect their corporate PAC checks and vote their way. But when it comes to meeting with Iowans, and tackling our toughest problems, she said she’d get to it “When hell freezes over.”
“It’s time to stop hiding from Iowans and defend your record of higher prices, chaotic tariffs, and special interest, pay-to-play politics,” said Christina Bohannan. “It’s time you answered to Iowans for once – not just your Washington special interest donors.”
Bohannan has been available at town halls the past two weekends.

Iowa’s 1st Congressional District contains the cities of Davenport, Iowa City, Burlington, and Indianola. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks faces a rematch against Christina Bohannan, who came within 0.2% of defeating the incumbent in 2024. Bohannan lost by just 799 votes out of 413,000 and outperformed the top of the ticket by over 8 points – more than any other Red-to-Blue candidate in the country. National forecasters, including the Cook Political Report, universally rate this district as a Toss-Up for 2026. With Rep. Miller-Meeks showing historic weakness at just 31% favorability and facing growing opposition even within her own party, Bohannan has the best opportunity to flip a Republican seat in the country.
