In windy Iowa, a GOP lawmaker faces a reckoning over Trump's clean energy war

AMES, Iowa — President Donald Trump’s bid to kill wind power is straining the clean energy industry — and imperiling GOP lawmakers whose communities have seen wind as an economic boon.

Few of those lawmakers are more endangered than Iowa’s Mariannette Miller-Meeks.

Hailing from a state that gets nearly two-thirds of its electricity from wind turbines while paying some of the lowest power bills in the nation, Miller-Meeks has been a leading GOP champion in the House for an “all-of-the-above" energy strategy supporting the growth of renewables alongside fossil fuels. But she also cast a crucial vote for Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which wiped out billions of dollars in wind’s economic incentives — throwing Iowa’s 50-plus wind-related companies into uncertainty.

That vote is giving Democrats new hope of capturing Miller-Meek's district in Iowa’s southeast corner, where she won reelection last year by only 798 votes. (Trump won the same district by 8 points.) Republicans are scrambling to preserve their narrow House majority in next year’s midterms, with national polls showing most voters unhappy with the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.
