Congressman Zach Nunn, currently representing Iowa’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of updates on his legislative efforts and engagements through social media on May 17, 2025.

In one post, Nunn emphasized the bipartisan nature of efforts to support America's foster youth. He stated: "Helping America's foster youth is not a red or blue issue. I'm proud of our bipartisan work in the House and the leadership of President Trump and @FLOTUS to reform the foster system so more kids find their forever homes." This tweet highlights his commitment to improving the foster care system with collaborative efforts across party lines.

Later that day, Nunn shared about his meeting with American Waterways Operators (AWO) Advocacy in Washington D.C., focusing on maritime safety and economic issues. He tweeted: "Great to meet with @AWOAdvocacy in D.C. this week. We talked about keeping our rivers safe, protecting maritime jobs, and ensuring Iowa’s products keep moving across the country." This engagement underscores his interest in maintaining vital infrastructure for transportation and job security.

Concluding his day's updates, Nunn addressed healthcare concerns for expectant mothers in Iowa by introducing new legislation. He announced: "Too many moms in Iowa struggle to find basic pregnancy care. That’s why I introduced the HEALTH for MOM Act—to help states expand local, community-based care that puts moms and babies first." This initiative aims at enhancing maternal health services at a community level.

Zach Nunn has been serving since 2023 after succeeding Cindy Axne. Before joining Congress, he was part of both the Iowa House of Representatives and Senate between 2015 and 2023.
