Nunn, who took office in 2023 after replacing Cindy Axne, is known for his commitment to mental health support and cybersecurity among other pressing concerns.

Emphasizing the need for action against such cyber threats from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), he urged for decisive measures to protect American data. "China's latest cyberattack on U.S. telecom firms is a direct assault on our national security and the privacy of American citizens."

Later that same day, Nunn highlighted the importance of Community Health Centers in Iowa. He acknowledged their role in providing healthcare services, particularly in rural areas. During his meeting with their team, they discussed expanding access to affordable and quality healthcare across Iowa.
