Congressman Zach Nunn, representing Iowa's 3rd district since 2023, has been actively addressing economic issues affecting his constituents. Born in Story City, Iowa, and a graduate of Drake University, Nunn is committed to legislative measures that support local businesses and families.

On May 20, 2025, Congressman Nunn expressed concerns about the concentration of capital on the coasts and its impact on Iowa's small businesses. He highlighted his advocacy for the bipartisan ELEVATE Act during a session at the Financial Committee. The act aims to reduce unnecessary reporting requirements to provide "Main Street a fair shot at raising funds." "When capital gets stuck on the coasts, Iowa's small businesses lose out on opportunities to grow and hire."

Later that day, Nunn addressed an impending tax hike ranging from $4,000 to $6,000 on Iowa families. He emphasized efforts to prevent this increase and extend tax cuts that have previously contributed to wage growth and job creation across America. He invited constituents to share their opinions on the tax package via social media: "This week, we’re fighting to stop a $4,000–$6,000 tax hike on Iowa families and extend the tax cuts that drove record wage growth."

In another post from May 20th, Congressman Nunn announced progress with his bill designed to streamline access to capital for Iowa businesses by cutting red tape. The bill successfully passed through the Financial Committee and is now headed for consideration on the House floor: "My bill to cut red tape and help Iowa businesses access capital just passed the @FinancialCmte."

Zach Nunn has served in various legislative roles since 2015. Before joining Congress in 2023 after succeeding Cindy Axne, he was part of both the Iowa House of Representatives and Senate.
