Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa’s Third Congressional District, shared updates on recent initiatives and recognitions through a series of social media posts in early May 2026.

On May 4, Nunn announced additional funding for youth support services, stating, “Proud to deliver an additional $1M to support young Iowans battling addiction, homelessness, and mental health challenges. Phase 2 of the Ember Recovery Center expansion adds workforce training, supportive family housing, and recovery-centered facilities.”

Later that day, he highlighted the recognition of a local veteran: “Retired Master Sergeant Larry Dean Ratliff earned a Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Valor device in Vietnam at just 19 years old. 56 years later, it was a great honor to present him his shadow box, celebrating his decades of service in defense of our nation.”

On May 5, Nunn addressed agricultural issues and federal collaboration: “Iowa farmers are in the fields right now feeding the country — and I’m working alongside @USDA leaders to make sure they have what they need to succeed. Grateful to have @SecRollins with us as we drove the Congressional vote for year-round E-15, and glad to host Assistant”

Zach Nunn’s office is based in Des Moines and serves residents across 21 counties within central and southern Iowa (official website). He is known for prioritizing bipartisan policies focused on economic growth, agriculture support—including through his work on the House Agriculture Committee—government accountability, national security measures, and programs aiding families and children (official website). His congressional office also provides constituent assistance with federal agencies for those living within Iowa’s Third District (official website).
