Congressman Zach Nunn, representing Iowa's 3rd district, has recently addressed several pressing issues through his social media platform. Nunn, who succeeded Cindy Axne in 2023 and has a background in both the Iowa House of Representatives and Senate, continues to engage with matters of national and international importance.

On May 19, 2025, Congressman Nunn expressed concerns about the potential economic repercussions of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. He stated that such an event "would crash global markets and devastate Main Street businesses in Iowa." Nunn emphasized bipartisan efforts to strengthen alliances to deter any aggressive moves by China while preparing the U.S. economy for possible adverse outcomes. "A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would crash global markets and devastate Main Street businesses in Iowa."

Later that day, on May 19, 2025, he highlighted the financial exploitation faced by veterans, noting that they lost over $400 million to scams last year. Nunn expressed pride in cosponsoring the Veterans Claims Education Act alongside Representative Scott Peters. This legislation aims to combat fraud and ensure veterans receive their rightful benefits. "Veterans lost over $400 million to scams last year."

On May 20, 2025, Congressman Nunn criticized China's Belt & Road Initiative as a tool for power rather than partnership. He announced his leadership role in bipartisan legislation designed to bolster America's economy and reinforce alliances against increasing aggression from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). His work with the committee on CCP is part of these broader efforts. "China’s Belt & Road isn’t about partnership, it’s about power."

Zach Nunn was born in Story City, Iowa in 1979 and currently resides in Bondurant. He graduated from Drake University with a BA in 2002.
