U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks recorded on 15 House roll calls in the week ending Sept. 19, 2026

U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, a Republican representing Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, was recorded on 15 qualifying House passage roll calls in the week ending Sept. 19, 2026, during the second session of the 119th Congress, including a joint resolution to revoke EPA authorization for a California emissions regulation, according to the U.S. Congress.

Miller-Meeks cast 15 votes, 15 yes and 0 no. On H.J.Res. 210, a joint resolution that would revoke EPA authorization for a California emissions regulation, on Sept. 15, 2026, under the question “On Passage,” Miller-Meeks voted yes. The measure passed, 216-211. It was the week’s closest vote.

The bill’s title is: “Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to ‘California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision’.”

A Congressional Research Service summary of the bill, as introduced in the House, states the following: This joint resolution revokes the authorization granted to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to amend its Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth Regulation. Among other elements, the amendment proposed by CARB and authorized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) expanded auxiliary engine emissions reductions requirements to include additional categories of ocean-going vessels. (Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA may authorize California to adopt and enforce standards relating to the control of emissions from nonroad vehicles or engines if those standards meet certain requirements.) Specifically, the joint resolution nullifies the EPA authorization decision titled California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision.

U.S. Rep. Vince Fong sponsored the bill. U.S. Rep. James Gallagher, U.S. Rep. Nicholas Begich and U.S. Rep. Ken Calvert were among the bill’s 7 cosponsors.

Miller-Meeks was also recorded on 14 other qualifying roll calls, including H.R. 4219, H.R. 3276, H.R. 2978, H.R. 8278, H.R. 4646, H.R. 2140, H.R. 9500, H.R. 5334, H.R. 9576, H.R. 10326, H.J.Res. 213 and H.R. 9340.

Congressional bills can originate in either the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate, except for revenue-related measures, which must begin in the House. After introduction, bills are assigned to committees for review, hearings, amendments and debate before they can advance to a vote in each chamber. If both chambers approve identical versions, the legislation is sent to the president, who may sign it into law or veto it. Congress operates in two-year terms, with each term numbered sequentially and divided into two annual sessions. The legislative process and official bill records are maintained by the U.S. Congress and published through Congress.gov.

House roll-call records list each representative’s position and report separate totals for yeas, nays, “present” and “not voting,” according to the Office of the Clerk. A “not voting” entry does not explain why no vote was recorded and is distinct from answering “present.” The House can also pass measures by voice vote, without a record of each member’s position. A bill passed by the House must also pass the Senate in identical form before it can be sent to the president.
