OTTUMWA, Iowa — On January 3, 2021, something that's never happened before will take place.
It's the day a woman is sworn-in as Second District Representative for the state of Iowa.
And Dr. Mariannette Miller Meeks says she's ready for Washington.
"I do consider myself the Congresswoman-Elect."
It's been more than a month since the Republican state senator from Ottumwa emerged from Election Night as the apparent winner.
Hart says she plans to petition the House Administration Committee under the Federal Contested Elections Act to verify the election results.
