Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in regards to Rita Hart withdrawing her contest from the House Administration Committee: 

"Today Iowans showed Washington, D.C. Democrats that we will fight back against any attempt to overturn our votes. The votes were counted, recounted and certified and Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks was declared the winner.

"The withdraw of Hart's contest should signal to every Iowan that the fight to take back the House and Senate in 2022 has begun. Democrats shamelessly went along with this effort to usurp Iowa elections, and tried to drag it across the finish line for one thing - power. It's time we show them they no longer deserve it. 

"As she has shown since January, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks will put Iowa families first. Whether it's pushing back against the left's radical agenda or administering vaccines to defeat COVID-19, she will be there."
