Miller-Meeks Set to Raise Monthly Internet Costs for Iowa Households

Tomorrow, full funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) will expire, forcing tens of thousands of Iowa families to face stark price hikes on their monthly internet bills.

A product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law - which Miller-Meeks voted against and then tried to take credit for - the ACP serves over 32,000 households in Iowa's first congressional district, providing discounts for monthly internet bills.

Miller-Meeks, however, has refused to co-sponsor a bipartisan bill that would replenish the fund to keep monthly bills low for millions of Americans.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Mariannette Miller-Meeks is once again siding with her party and refusing to lift a finger to lower costs for Iowa families. That says everything you need to know about her 'priorities.'"
