Conservative group launches ad campaign highlighting Rep. Miller-Meeks, Nunn work on tax cuts

In a statement, AAN President Chris Winkelman said the goal of the ad campaign was to highlight the differences between Democratic and Republican candidates on lowering costs.

“Conservatives put working families first by delivering historic tax relief,” Winkelman said. “Meanwhile, far-left lawmakers are obsessed with radical ideas—like raising your taxes and making you pay for sex-change surgeries for kids. AAN is going to keep calling out these policies for what they are: bad for your wallet and wrong for American families.”

The ad supporting Miller-Meeks, titled “Lower Taxes,” tells viewers that “thanks to Mariannette Miller-Meeks,” they keep more of their money via tax cuts made through the OBBB. The ad specifically highlights provisions of the large 2025 spending and tax law cutting taxes on tips and overtime, as well as reducing taxes for Social Security recipients.

The ad narrator also states Miller-Meeks “secured millions for our rural hospitals, so Iowans get quality health care, no matter where we live.”

Democrats, including Miller-Meeks’ opponent Christina Bohannan, have criticized the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for making cuts to Medicaid funding. Bohannan has said she would reverse the changes to Medicaid eligibility and rules for states that were included in the 2025 law.

But Iowa Republicans have argued hospitals will be better supported through the Rural Health Transformation Program authorized by the OBBB, which is set to allocate $50 billion to states between 2026 and 2030 as a means to offset the estimated $137 billion in rural Medicaid spending. Iowa’s rural health care improvement plan, “Healthy Hometowns,” was awarded $209 million at the end of 2025 from the Rural Health Transformation Program.

The ad supporting Nunn, “Hard to Get Ahead,” also highlights the 3rd District Republican’s work to pass the OBBB, and called on viewers to tell Nunn to to “keep cutting taxes for Iowans.”

“You do your work, and you do it right,” the narrator says in the ad. “You play by the rules. But it’s hard to get ahead. Zach Nunn is getting things done. Nunn delivered a working family’s tax cut.”

In November, Nunn will face Iowa Sen. Sarah Trone Garriott, a Democrat from West Des Moines. Trone Garriott has also criticized the 2025 law for making Medicaid cuts, in addition to criticizing other measures the Republican has supported while in Congress. Responding to a Nunn event with Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling earlier in August where the leaders said the OBBB is helping expand Iowa’s manufacturing sector, a spokesperson for Trone Garriott said, “the numbers on the ground tell a different story. Iowa lost thousands of manufacturing jobs last year, and recently ranked 48th in economic growth.”

“The chaotic tariff policy Zach Nunn voted for is driving up costs for Iowa families and farmers all while rural clinics are closing because of the Medicaid cuts in the OBBB,” the spokesperson said.
