On the Second Anniversary of Its Passage, the CHIPS and Science Act Continues to Deliver for the Middle Class – No Thanks to Mariannette Miller-Meeks

The CHIPS Act has created more than 50,000 good-paying jobs since 2022

Two years ago, the CHIPS and Science Act was signed into law - no thanks to Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who voted against these historic investments.

This legislation has delivered historic investments in American manufacturing, spurring the re-shoring of jobs and strengthening the nation's domestic supply chain. Specifically, the CHIPS Act has:

  • Spurred the creation or expansion of 83 new semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain facilities across the country.

  • Attracted $447 billion in private investments across 25 states, boosting America's chip manufacturing capacity while reducing our dependence on importing chips.

  • Created more than 56,000 good-paying jobs.

  • Expanded opportunities at more than 50 community colleges to help workers access these job opportunities.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Mariannette Miller-Meeks has consistently wasted Iowans' time in Congress by opposing historic legislation like the CHIPS and Science Act that is creating good-paying jobs, investing in American manufacturing, and growing the middle class. Voters can see that she's blocking these opportunities for Iowans, and that's why they'll send Miller-Meeks packing in November."
