Congressman Zach Nunn, representing Iowa's 3rd district since 2023, has been actively addressing issues relevant to his constituents through social media. Nunn, who succeeded Cindy Axne and previously served in the Iowa House of Representatives and the Iowa Senate, is using his platform to discuss matters ranging from passport delays to legislative reforms.

On November 24, 2024, Congressman Nunn highlighted a significant issue affecting Iowans: "Passport delay is a huge headache for Iowans planning trips abroad. That’s why I just voted to hire more staff at the State Department to speed up the process." This statement underscores his efforts to alleviate travel-related challenges by supporting increased staffing at the State Department.

Later that day, he provided practical advice for those planning international travel during the holiday season. In a tweet posted on November 24, 2024, he advised travelers to check their passports and offered assistance with applications: "Planning international travel for the holidays? Check your passport now! If you need help applying for a new passport, we are here to help: call 515-400-8180 or visit https://t.co/p3QH7nSARR"

The following day, on November 25, 2024, Congressman Nunn shared his broader legislative goals aimed at reforming practices in Washington D.C. He stated: "Iowa does a few things right - and our nation’s capital should learn a few things from us. That’s why I’m bringing Iowa common sense to D.C. to:

✅ Ban Members of Congress from lobbying

✅ End automatic pay raises for politicians

✅ Prohibit insider stock trading

✅ Require D.C.…" This tweet reflects his commitment to implementing measures that promote transparency and accountability in government.
