(Des Moines, IA) — Christina Bohannan of Iowa City, the Democratic candidate in Iowa’s new First Congressional District, says political extremism is a grave threat to the country. Bohannan is challenging Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who is seeking a second term in the U-S House. During a speech on the Des Moines Register’s Political Soapbox at the Iowa State Fair, Bohannan criticized Miller-Meeks for voting against bills providing more federal funding for infrastructure projects and subsidies to spur domestic U-S production of computer chips. She said, “Even Chuck Grassley supported these bills because he knows how good they’re going to be for Iowa.” A spokesman for the Iowa Republican Party says Miller-Meeks stands up for Iowans against the Biden Administration’s “reckless agenda” and her re-election puts the G-O-P one step closer to firing Nancy Pelosi.
