Statement summary
Explaining her first vote to curb Trump's Iran war powers, Miller-Meeks, a 24-year Army veteran, said she will not vote to keep soldiers in an open-ended war, declared Iran's nuclear ambitions 'defanged,' and demanded the president present Congress a plan to end the conflict.
“I served 24 years in the Army. I said it in March: the mission had to stay focused and limited, because Americans do not want another forever war. I will not vote to keep our soldiers in an open-ended war, with Iowans paying too much at the pump. The Iranian regime and its nuclear ambitions have been defanged. The president needs to present a plan to Congress and the American people for how this ends so we can focus on bringing our soldiers home and lowering prices.”
