Supporting American Elections

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the SAVE Act because American elections should only be decided by American citizens. That is not controversial. It is common sense.

Think about it. Democrats have no problem requiring ID to board a plane, buy a six-pack, drive a car, or even adopt a pet. Just a few years ago, they demanded proof of vaccination just to eat at a restaurant or pick up food.

When it comes to the most sacred act in our Republic, voting, they fight tooth and nail against requiring proof of citizenship. Why? It is blatant hypocrisy, and the American people see right through it.

The SAVE Act ensures that only American citizens can register to vote and vote in Federal elections. It protects the integrity of our system and restores faith in democracy. In fact, in Iowa, every single time we have passed election integrity laws, the percentage of people voting has increased.

With President Trump back in the White House, it is time to secure our elections and put American citizens first. Let's pass the SAVE Act now. Supporting the Congressional Agricultural Trade Caucus

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, today I am happy to announce that I have officially joined the bipartisan Congressional Agricultural Trade Caucus.

The State of Iowa leads the Nation in corn, pork, and soybean production. Expanding access to international markets is essential for our rural communities to succeed.

In the past, bad trade deals and overregulations from Washington have held our producers back. By joining the Agricultural Trade Caucus, alongside Representatives Adrian Smith, Jim Costa, Dusty Johnson, and

Jimmy Panetta, I will continue to fight to remove unfair trade barriers, open new markets for Iowa products, and promote policies that keep our local family farms strong and competitive.

Yesterday, when Secretary Rollins was in our State of Iowa, she remarked upon our productive farmers and ranchers and added she will be going on six trade trips internationally over the next 6 months.

For Iowans, agriculture isn't just a way of life. It is the backbone of our economy, and I am deeply committed to supporting Iowa's hardworking farmers and producers.
