Congressman Zach Nunn, representing Iowa's 3rd district, has been active on social media discussing recent legislative efforts and international events. His tweets cover a range of topics from defense technology to mental health care initiatives.

On June 6, 2025, Congressman Nunn highlighted a significant development in modern warfare, stating that "Ukraine’s 117-drone deep strike inside Russia is a wake-up call that modern warfare is fast, smart, and evolving." He emphasized the importance of the U.S. maintaining its leadership in next-generation defense technologies, including drones and artificial intelligence.

Later that day, he announced legislative progress on domestic issues with a tweet at 22:23 UTC. Nunn shared that "the House passed my bipartisan bill to expand peer-led recovery programs and improve access to mental health care, housing, and job training." This initiative aims to enhance support systems for individuals seeking recovery assistance.

On June 7, 2025, Congressman Nunn addressed an issue affecting military families. He criticized the Biden administration for allegedly blocking servicemembers from transferring education benefits to their children. He expressed his support for the Patriots Over Politics Act by cosponsoring it alongside Representative Tom Barrett. In his words: "I'm proud to cosponsor @RepTomBarrett 's Patriots Over Politics Act to restore those benefits and make sure military kids get the support they've earned."

Zach Nunn has been serving in Congress since 2023 after succeeding Cindy Axne. Prior to this role, he served in both the Iowa House of Representatives and Senate. Born in Story City in 1979 and currently residing in Bondurant, Nunn holds a BA from Drake University.
