Zach Nunn, a U.S. Congressman representing Iowa's 3rd district since 2023, has shared insights on various issues through recent tweets. Nunn, who succeeded Cindy Axne in Congress and previously served in the Iowa legislature, highlighted topics ranging from workforce training to healthcare access and international relations.

On February 4, 2025, Nunn emphasized the significance of skilled worker training in Iowa by listening to IBEW Local 347. He stated: "Listening to IBEW Local 347 on the importance of helping train skilled workers to 'power' Iowa’s future. I’ve delivered results for Iowans by working with a range of groups committed to smart solutions!" He also acknowledged his father-in-law Jim Friend's contribution as a long-time union electrician.

Later that day, he addressed healthcare challenges in rural areas through legislative efforts. In his tweet at 17:08 UTC, Nunn noted: "Access to primary care is getting more limited, especially in rural Iowa. My new bipartisan bill invests in training more doctors so every family can get the care they need."

In another post on February 4 at 20:34 UTC, Nunn drew attention to national security concerns regarding China. Reflecting on his past experience as a counterintelligence officer, he tweeted: "As a former counterintelligence officer who operated against China, I’ve seen firsthand how the Chinese Communist Party is working to undercut the United States at every turn." He expressed commitment to holding China accountable as part of his role with the Committee on CCP.
