Marianette Miller-Meeks has a proven record of hard work and accomplishments. As one of eight children, she joined the military to find a career and serve her country. She ended with not only her nursing degree, but her medical degree and retired as a Lt. Colonel.

Miller-Meeks is still an incredibly hard working person. One thing you won't find her doing is putting her feet up with her shoes off (imagine Dave Loebsack's hairy, gnarly toes showing in public!? Ugh!) while her struggling constituents need her help.
Loebsack has been unable to find time to actually accomplish anything on behalf of Iowa City/Cedar Rapids flood victims. But he has been able to collect almost $500,000 in out-of-state big money PAC donations. And he has been able to vote the Democrat party-line on every issue.
Somehow I don't think Nancy Pelosi is right on every single issue before Congress. Unity and bipartisanship are the focus of the day to help Main Street Americans, but Loebsack isn't participating. Don't make the same mistake twice. Split your ticket and vote Miller-Meeks for Congress, for real representation.
