Miller-Meeks: Celebrating Iowa Small Businesses

May 6, 2026 Press Release IOWA — In a newly released op-ed, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks is highlighting recent wins for Iowa small businesses that support their growth and success. She discusses the impact of the Working Families Tax Cuts, which delivers meaningful relief to small business owners and families in Iowa. "In the past year alone, nearly 10,000 new small businesses were started in Iowa, said Miller-Meeks . That’s why policies like the Working Families Tax Cuts matter. These reforms are delivering real relief to Iowa families and small businesses, helping them keep more of what they earn and reinvest in their future. A key part of that is the permanent extension of the 20 percent small business deduction. For Iowa’s nearly 290,000 small businesses, this isn’t just a tax break, it’s a lifeline. It means more hiring, more investment and more opportunity." Miller-Meeks continued , “As a former small business owner, I understand the long hours, the tough decisions and the risk that comes with running a business. You don’t need more obstacles; you need a government that respects your work and supports your success. That means lower taxes, fewer regulations and policies that reward hard work, not punish it.” Congresswoman Miller-Meeks has consistently supported efforts to expand access to capital, reduce regulatory burdens, and provide tax relief for small businesses. She works to advance policies that empower Iowans, strengthen local economies, and ensure small businesses can continue to grow and thrive. ### Issues : Delivering Results
