Candidate profile:Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks has worked in medicine, in the military and most recently in Congress. Miller-Meeks said it was concerns over health care that first pushed her to run for Congress in 2020."I wanted us to be able to have choice, to have personalization of our health care, and to be able to make decisions for ourselves rather than government bureaucrats coming in between you and your doctor and the decisions that you should be making," Miller-Meeks said.She's finishing up her time for District 2 and hoping to represent the newly redrawn District 1 for another term in Congress."I've taken some extremely difficult votes, sometimes against where the majority of my party was. An example of that is the lower food and Food and Fuels Act. So trying to get you around E-15, trying to lower food prices, which are related to gas and energy. But in that bill, I was one of seven Republicans that voted for that bill. Why? Because it was good for Iowa, and it's good for the country," Miller-Meeks said. She said her top priorities are tackling inflation, securing the border, stopping the rise in crime and improving education."I'll continue to work hard to listen, to be available and make sure I'm addressing their concerns, not my concerns, but the concerns on rising prices, the concerns on crime, the concerns on education, the concerns on border and getting a handle on increasing prices — be the food, gasoline or prescription drugs," Miller-Meeks said.Watch: District 1 candidates on inflation Watch: District 1 candidates on abortionWatch: District 1 candidates on gunsPrevious coverage: Mariannette Miller-Meeks candidate profileWatch: Mariannette Miller-Meeks discusses her top prioritiesWatch: Mariannette Miller-Meeks on the economyWatch: Mariannette Miller-Meeks on immigrationWatch: Mariannette Miller-Meeks on educationWatch: Mariannette Miller-Meeks on firearmsWatch: Mariannette Miller-Meeks on why she’s the best fit for the job
