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.'"
