In 2021, then-state Rep. Joe Mitchell voted to expand Iowa's Workforce Housing Tax Credit. Two development firms he later partnered in took $2,559,880 from that program across three projects. He calls the federal version 'too much paperwork.'
House Appropriations roll calls show Hinson absent for all five Epstein votes on September 3 and 10, 2025 — and recorded, both days, on the vote to send the bill to the floor.
H.R. 8646 passed 213-210 on June 4. It comes in $380 million below last year and, in the Appropriations Committee's own words, reduces salaries and expenses "to account for staffing reductions" — the nearly 4,300 FDA and roughly 900 meat-inspection jobs already gone. 188 members with a page on this site voted yes. Four voted no.
Accepting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's endorsement at an Indianola factory, Miller-Meeks told the workers she voted for Trump's budget bill 'not for business organizations or owners' but 'for you all' — then said she hasn't heard from a single Iowan hurt by it.

NOTUS found that Matt Arenholz chaired the government affairs committee of the insurance lobby's Iowa branch and helped set up its meeting with all four of Iowa's U.S. House members, including his wife. The group's PAC has given her campaign $45,000.
Wonder school's expenses beat its revenue in five of six years. The Lahns propped it up with $615,000 in loans, and the debt reached $4.5 million.

In May 2025, 215 House Republicans voted for a ten-year ban on states and towns enforcing any law that limits AI — data centers included. Four of the fourteen named here voted for it four separate times. Now they are campaigning on letting your town decide.
H.R. 1232 would delete the part of federal labor law that lets a union and an employer agree everyone covered by a contract helps pay for it — in all 50 states, whatever each state decided. Missouri voters killed right-to-work 67-33. Michigan repealed it. Their congressmen signed anyway.
