Miller-Meeks and Nunn Put Iowans First While Dems Prioritize a Dangerous Shutdown

September 30, 2025

Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn voted to keep the government open, and now, they’ve vowed to forgo their congressional salary if Democrats shut down the government, because for Miller-Meeks and Nunn, it’s about putting Iowa first, not politics.

If Democrats get their way, Iowa families’ safety will be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers may be forced to work without pay, veterans may lose access to critical programs, and Head Start funding may be endangered for thousands of kids across the state.

“While Democrats push America into a costly and dangerous government shutdown, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn are showing Iowans that they’re in Congress to fight for them, not play harmful political games.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Emily Tuttle
