Today, February 12th, 2021, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02), released the following statement on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issuing guidance to have students safely return to in-person learning as soon as possible:

"The new CDC guidance repeats what I have said for months, it is beyond time to follow the science and reopen our schools. I hope the Biden Administration keeps to its promises to listen to science. Our children are falling behind socially, academically, and their mental health is declining. For our children, we must act quickly."

Earlier this week, Miller-Meeks, a veteran, physician, and former President of the Iowa Medical Society, penned an op-ed in The Washington Times with her fellow Doctors Caucus members, Reps. Brad Wenstrup (OH-02), Michael Burgess (TX-26), and Andy Harris (MD-01), on the importance of following the science and reopening schools.
