Second District Congresswoman-Elect Mariannette Miller-Meeks is in Washington, getting the orientation that all new members of Congress receive.  Miller-Meeks was certified Monday (11/30) as winner of the November election, defeating Rita Hart by six votes.  The Republican from Ottumwa talks about going through the recent recount.

“I think anybody would feel the same way, that it was very much like being on a roller coaster.  There were ups and downs, it was gut-wrenching. I’m glad that that process is behind us.”

Miller-Meeks says she would like to serve on committees that will help the Second District, such as agriculture, health care and infrastructure.
