Illinois Rep. Mary Miller questioned the current state of the economy and President Biden's "Building Back Better" plan on Wednesday.
In June, Miller had questioned Miguel Cardona, Secretary of Education, about guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Education, according to the Chambana Sun. Now, Miller focuses on the current state of the economy in the United States.
"Prices keep going up, shelves are empty, the government is forcing companies to fire people and everyone is losing hope. Is this 'Building Back Better?'" Miller tweeted.
Miller's concern and her connection with the state of Illinois run deep. In May, Rep. Miller was responsible for announcing the winner of the Congressional Art Competition, 17-year-old Gage Atteberry of Carmi, Illinois, according to SE Illinois News.
"I am completely blown away by the artistic talent in Illinois' 15th District," Rep. Miller said, according to SE Illinois News. "Gage's artwork is magnificent and extraordinarily detailed. To then hear the story & inspiration behind his work, made the artwork and detail all the more spectacular. It is no surprise that the judges chose Gage's impressive piece to win."
Over the summer, Rep. Miller was joined by Georgia's Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene as part of Miller's July 2021 fundraiser, in which Greene was the headline speaker, according to South Cook News.
“I have not gone to anyone’s district and supported anybody yet, but I went to your congresswoman’s district first and supported your congresswoman because I’m thankful for her. She needs your help. We aren’t the popular girls in Washington. They call us insurrectionists. We are patriots,” Green said during her speech, according to South Cook Times.
Miller is representative for the 15th Congressional District.
