REPORT: Economic Policy Innovation Center dismantles Soros-funded attack ads in Iowa
The Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC) sets the record straight on a series of misleading attack ads hitting Mariannette Miller-Meeks, a new report reveals.
The ads, which are bankrolled by a group funded by George Soros, falsely insinuate that Miller-Meeks voted to take away Medicaid from individuals with disabilities. EPIC dismantled these claims, explaining that "the reforms in the OBBB do note targetlow-income children, individuals with a disability, or those who can work and choose to do so."
"As usual, all the Democrats have is lies. Mariannette Miller-Meeks voted to protect care for Iowas's most vulnerable, and no amount of spin can change the facts." - NRCC Spokeswoman Emily Tuttle

Researchers defend GOP Medicaid reforms after left-wing attack ads
The Washington Times
Ben Sellers
October 31, 2025
Researchers called out a dark-money activist group for pushing false information about Medicaid reforms in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to smear several Republican lawmakers.
A report by the Economic Policy Innovation Center sought to correct the record following a series of attack ads by the group Unrig Our Economy, a pass-through organization bankrolled by the George Soros-linked 1630 Fund. The fund is associated with the left-wing Arabella Advisors network.
The ads targeted GOP Reps. Mike Lawler of New York, Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa, Thomas Kean Jr. of New Jersey and Juan Ciscomani of Arizona.
[...]
The ads insinuated, without directly stating, that the subjects stand to lose their Medicaid benefits as a result of the Trump-backed OBBB reforms.
But EPIC's report dismantled the claim, noting that, far from being cut, the Medicaid program was projected to grow over the next decade by nearly $200 billion, an increase of more than 30% of the current allocation.

RE: One Year Out: Republicans Have the Money, Message, and Momentum
One year from Election Day 2026, Republicans hold clear momentum. Historic fundraising, a favorable national environment, and wins for working families put us on offense while House Democrats are broke, divided, and losing the messaging war. Voters trust Republicans more than they have in years, and Democrats less than ever.
Fundraising Advantage
For the first time in a decade, the NRCC outraised the DCCC through the first three quarters of the cycle. The last time this happened was in 2014, when Republicans went on to win the House, Senate, and White House. Compared to this point in 2017, the NRCC has raised roughly $20M more and holds about $7.5M more cash on hand. The DCCC is taking in less money and resources than it did in 2023, a clear sign of fading enthusiasm and a donor base that is depressed and disillusioned by its leadership.
Strong Incumbents in Swing Seats
In districts that ultimately decide the majority, NRCC Patriots outraised DCCC Frontliners for three straight quarters. On average in Q3 of 2025, Patriots have raised $763K and have $2.4M in cash on hand, while Frontliners average $664K and $1.6M in the bank. Republican campaigns are building war chests, and Democrats are falling behind.
A Better National Environment
The national climate continues to improve for Republicans.
* RealClearPolitics generic ballot is at D+2.4, closer than 2017 when it neared D+9.
* NBC News' recent polling has the Democrats' image at 28%-53%, and the Republicans' image at 37%-46%. In NBC's 2017 polling, the Dem image was 33%-38% and our image was 29%-45%. Democrats have gotten worse by 20% on their image from eight years ago, while we have improved by 7%.
* The percentage of Americans who say Democrats are "out of touch" has increased by double-digits over the last decade, with 70% indicating the party is disconnected from the issues that matter to voters.
Democrats have their weakest brand in decades, with 67% of Democrats saying they're frustrated with their party, up from about half in Pew polls from 2021 and 2019. Voters
define them as higher taxes, weak leadership, a soft-on-crime stance, open borders, and wokeness. They are the party of the elite interests, out of touch with the working class.
Dems in Disarray
Democrats entered 2026 divided. Pew Research found two-thirds of Democrat voters described the party negatively. Data for Progress found that Democrat voters are dissatisfied, citing the absence of a clear party leader and internal division.
Messy primaries are erupting in critical seats like New Jersey 7, California 22, Maine 2, Iowa 1 and 3, Florida 23, Colorado 8, Arizona 1, and New York 17. Instead of uniting, Democrats are spending millions attacking each other and racing left.
Messaging The Wins
Republicans are winning the messaging battle by focusing on kitchen-table issues, including the cost of living, public safety, and energy security. Democrats' shutdown strategy is backfiring: polling shows they're consistently losing ground, unions are turning on Democrats, and they're openly admitting it's all for political "leverage."
Democrats are now fully embracing the socialist agenda, with Hakeem Jeffries endorsing radical socialist Zohran Mamdani just last week. This will be electoral poison for Democrats, as Americans view socialism negatively by -18 vs capitalism by +12.
A Record to Run On
House Republicans aren't just winning the argument; we're delivering wins across relief for working families, a pro-growth agenda, support for keeping communities safe, and fighting for veterans, law enforcement, and our military. These wins are popular and contrast sharply with Democrats' shutdown, tax hikes, and far-left agenda. Democrats will own every extreme vote as we continue driving an agenda for working families.
Bottom Line
The next year will be about discipline, message clarity, and earning votes in every district. If we continue to press our advantages, amplify our fundraising lead, highlight Patriot strength across battlegrounds, and drive the contrast between Republican deliverance and Democratic chaos, we will earn every vote next year.

U.S. Rep. Greg Landsman takes contributions from aviation workers, then jeopardizes their livelihoods with shutdown
Ohio.News
T.A. DeFeo
November 6, 2025
Democratic U.S. Rep. Greg Landsman is taking heat from all sides.
First, state lawmakers' new congressional district maps put Landsman, who was elected to the U.S. House in 2022, in a Republican-leaning district. Now, federal Republicans say the Cincinnati-area congressman is out of touch for voting against the continuing resolution that the House passed, which is now languishing in the Senate.
The National Republican Congressional Committee notes that Landsman has received contributions from several air groups, including at least $16,500 from the Air Line Pilots Association PAC, $15,000 from the National Air Traffic Controllers Association PAC, and $3,000 from the FAA Managers Association Inc. PAC.
"Out of touch Democrat Greg Landsman cashed checks from aviation workers and ran in the opposite direction by shutting down the government and cutting off their paychecks," NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon tells Ohio.News in a statement. "Ohioans won't forget how Landsman put politics before public safety."
With the Democratic-led government shutdown, the nation is on the verge of travel chaos as the FAA is poised to ground thousands of flights.
Air traffic controllers, who are missing paychecks, are calling in sick in greater numbers. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International is among 40 airports nationwide that could see flight reductions.
[...]
Airlines and various trade groups, including the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, have publicly called for the immediate reopening of the federal government. According to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association's website, "the shutdown threatens the NAS and negatively affects approximately 10 million aviation-related jobs and the $1.5 trillion annually that aviation contributes to the U.S. economy."
Airports and the Transportation Security Administration have also alerted passengers, asking them to be patient as wait times continue to grow across the country while its officers work without pay.
