Iowa City, IA – Today, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks continues to shield the identity of those named in the Epstein files. The bipartisan discharge petition to release the Epstein files was submitted last night. Only two more Republican signatures are required to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein files. Reps. Taylor-Greene and Boebert have signed the petition, but Miller-Meeks has refused.

Today in Washington, survivors of Epstein’s crimes called on members of Congress, including Miller-Meeks, to force the release of the full Epstein files.

Bohannan called on Miller-Meeks: “Do the right thing. Stop standing with sex offenders and with the wealthy and powerful. Release the Epstein Files — now.”

Iowa’s 1st Congressional District contains the cities of Davenport, Iowa City, Burlington, and Indianola. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks faces a rematch against Christina Bohannan, who came within 0.2% of defeating the incumbent in 2024. Bohannan lost by just 799 votes out of 413,000 and outperformed the top of the ticket by over 8 points – more than any other Red-to-Blue candidate in the country. National forecasters, including the Cook Political Report, universally rate this district as a Toss-Up for 2026. With Rep. Miller-Meeks showing historic weakness at just 31% favorability and facing growing opposition even within her own party, Bohannan has the best opportunity to flip a Republican seat in the country.
