Miller-Meeks Votes to End Democrat Government Shutdown

November 12, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tonight, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) voted YES to pass the bipartisan, bicameral Continuing Resolution and end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Statement from Miller-Meeks: "I am relieved this senseless shutdown is finally over and will continue fighting to lower costs, protect our veterans, and support Iowa’s small businesses and farmers. "For 43 days, Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats held our nation hostage, blocking pay for our troops, air traffic controllers, corrections officers, federal employees, and families who rely on SNAP to feed their children, all to push a $1.5 trillion wish list and taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. "I voted to keep the government open because I know the truth: in a shutdown, nobody wins and the American people lose." ## Issues : Delivering Results
