Iowa elections should be decided in Iowa

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate recently certified the election of Mariannette Miller-Meeks as our 2nd District representative to the U.S. House, ending the controversial and narrow six-vote race over Rita Hart. Hart has taken that away from Iowans and given it to the U.S. House of Representatives to decide.
I think Iowa elections belong in Iowa, not in the U.S. House of Representatives.
If you agree, I urge you to call, as I did, every member of The House Committee on Administration and ask how each of them will vote regarding the Iowa 2nd District dispute. Tell them your opinion about what Iowans think.
Keep Iowa elections in Iowa!
