Foxx Statement on Rep. Miller-Meeks Retaining Iowa Congressional Seat

Today, Republican Leader of the Education and Labor Committee Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement after Rita Hart withdrew her federal contest of the election results for Iowa’s Second Congressional District, securing Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ victory:

“The voices of Iowa’s Second Congressional District finally prevailed today when Rita Hart withdrew her misguided contest of November’s election results. Speaker Pelosi’s desperate attempt to unseat Congresswoman Miller-Meeks, a duly-elected Representative, simply to increase her razor thin majority was nothing short of shameful. Now that this Pelosi power grab is behind us, I look forward to continuing to serve alongside Rep. Miller-Meeks on the Education and Labor Committee on behalf of America’s workers, students, and job creators.”
