Mariannette Miller-Meeks Says She Wants to Ban Politicians From Trading Stocks. Why Hasn’t She Signed the Discharge Petition? 

DES MOINES, IA – Mariannette Miller-Meeks says she supports banning members of Congress from trading stocks and profiting at Iowans’ expense. 

So why hasn’t she signed the discharge petition that would force a vote on a bill to ban members of Congress from stock trading? 

“Mariannette Miller-Meeks claims she supports a stock trading ban, but refuses to do anything about it,” said IDP Chair Rita Hart. “Miller-Meeks should put her money where her mouth is and explain to Iowans why she refuses to take the simplest, bare minimum action.”

Reminder: Miller-Meeks is bought and paid for by Washington special interests. 

• Miller-Meeks has taken hundreds of thousands in campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical industry and health product lobbyists.

• Miller-Meeks voted against capping insulin prices on the *same day* she took money from an insulin manufacturer. 

• Miller-Meeks took hundreds of thousands of dollars from Big Oil special interests, then voted to end energy tax credits and raise Iowans’ costs and put jobs at risk. 

• Miller-Meeks’ campaign paid her son thousands of dollars for “campaign consulting,” then tried to cover it up when she got caught.
