MARIANNETTE MILLER-MEEKS

Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, joined "Fox & Friends First" to react to a Washington Post report calling Iowa the "Florida of the North."

Members of a Republican Congressional delegation took the stage at this year’s U.N. climate talks Friday to tout the benefits of fossil fuels.

Fox News Power Rankings show that the Republicans are likely to win control of the House of Representatives from the Democrats, though dozens of races are Toss Ups.

At least a half-dozen GOP presidential prospects are planning Iowa visits this summer now that the state's June primary has come and gone.

The House passed a bill to expand health care for veterans exposed to toxins; 174 Republicans opposed the measure.

The bill would open up federal health care benefits to millions of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service.

The House has passed legislation that would dramatically boost health care services and disability benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Iowa’s 2nd congressional district has the dubious distinction of having the second-most structurally deficient bridges in the country.

Davenport's 81-year-old Centennial Bridge across the Mississippi River creaks under the weight of tens of thousands of cars and trucks every day. The tally gives Iowa's 2nd congressional district the dubious distinction of having the second-most troubled bridges in the country. Miller-Meeks objected to majority Democrats' handling of the bill, never mentioning its contents, a common refrain from the minority that overwhelmingly opposed it.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark Milley are scheduled to appear before the House Armed Services Committee to review the war in Afghanistan.

Fully vaccinated members of Congress and staffers will no longer have to wear a mask on the House floor and in committee rooms.

There are signs of Democratic fatigue in Iowa, a state viewed for decades as a true political battleground.

The drama surrounding a sudden vacancy in the job overseeing elections in one of Iowa’s most populous counties has voting experts concerned about what it could signal about the future of voting in America.

The group included 10 who voted for Trump's impeachment earlier this year for his conduct surrounding the riot.

GOP lawmakers want the rules on masks on Capitol Hill to be changed, despite uncertainty regarding their vaccine status.

The Capitol physician said House members must continue wearing masks on the House floor until all members and floor staffers are fully vaccinated.

House Republicans are rebelling against the requirement that they wear a mask on the House floor.

A fist bump across the aisle, a snoozing senator and a Supreme Court justice applauding education. Joe Biden's joint address was full of surprises.

Democrat Rita Hart has withdrawn her challenge to Republican Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks' victory in Iowa's second congressional district. The House had been reviewing Hart's case, after Hart contested Miller-Meeks' six-vote victory out of nearly 400,000 votes cast in the race. Miller-Meeks' victory has already been certified by state officials. The initial canvass of the race found Miller-Meeks defeated Hart by 47 votes. She also argued that the "unfair" approach would have been to refuse to seat Miller-Meeks at the start of the term, something she said many colleagues encouraged her to do.

A challenge to Iowa's 2nd congressional district race continues in the House, as Democrat Rita Hart challenges Republican Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks' six-vote victory. Raffensperger's letter is notable since he is the top elections official in Georgia, ahead of Congress' counting of electoral votes, Mr. Trump told Raffensperger he needed to find 11,780 votes, one more than the number of votes Mr. Trump trailed President Biden. In the hourlong call, Mr. Trump also falsely claimed that "close to 5,000" dead people voted in the election. The House Committee on Administration, which has voted to postpone a request from Miller-Meeks to dismiss the case, will now review the briefs from both campaigns. The House, based on the committee's review, could affirm Miller-Meeks' win, order a recount, or say, for instance, Iowa election officials improperly handled ballots and Hart should have the seat instead.

WASHINGTON – There's little doubt that Nancy Pelosi will be reelected House speaker when the new Congress convenes Sunday. It could take a high-wire act for her to get there, largely thanks to the pandemic. “Yeah, I do,” Pelosi told a reporter this week when asked if she had the votes wrapped up. Miller-Meeks is certain to vote against Pelosi to be speaker. “It’s extraordinarily tricky” for Pelosi, said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., an 18-year congressional veteran.

Instead, it appears Democrats made a serious miscalculation in assuming their antipathy toward Trump would fuel victories across the country. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which supports the party's House candidates, is beginning a “deep dive” examination into what happened. Voters for months watched Republican ads featuring unrest with narrators ominously attacking Democrats as anti-police, often with little response.

More Republican women than ever are seeking House seats this year after the 2018 election further diminished their limited ranks in Congress. The next test comes Tuesday in states such as Indiana, where Republican Rep. Susan Brooks one of 13 Republican women in the House is retiring. Republican women have always had a tougher time winning office. Groups that back GOP women have nowhere near the resources of organizations such as EMILYs List, which has existed much longer and has been a game changer for Democratic women. Hinson is running in the district represented by Democratic Rep. Abby Finkenauer, who is seeking a second term, and Miller-Meeks is seeking a seat vacated by Democratic Rep. Dave Loebsack.
