Des Moines Sun

Congressman Zach Nunn, representing Iowa's 3rd district since 2023, recently shared a series of updates on his legislative initiatives and concerns via social media. The congressman, who succeeded Cindy Axne in the U.S. Congress, has been active in addressing issues ranging from agricultural security to public safety and antisemitism.

On June 9, 2025, Congressman Nunn highlighted ongoing threats to American agriculture by stating that "For years, the CCP has tried to steal Iowa ag tech and buy up U.S. farmland near sensitive military installations. Last week's agroterrorism plot was just the latest in their escalating attacks on American agriculture." He announced his leadership on a new bill aimed at increasing penalties for such acts.

Later that day, Nunn addressed law enforcement staffing challenges through another post at 20:48 UTC. He expressed concern over shortages impacting police departments nationwide: "Police departments in Iowa and across the country are facing staffing shortages, leading to fewer patrols and slower response times." To counter this issue, he is advocating for a bipartisan bill that proposes grants to reintegrate experienced retired officers into non-sworn roles.

In an evening update at 23:15 UTC on June 9th, Congressman Nunn condemned recent antisemitic violence against Jewish Americans advocating for hostages' release held by Hamas. He remarked: "Last week, a group of Jewish Americans—peacefully calling for the release of hostages held by Hamas—were targeted in an antisemitic attack." This statement followed the passage of a bipartisan resolution condemning the attack in Boulder.

Zach Nunn's career includes serving in both chambers of Iowa's legislature before joining Congress. Born in Story City, Iowa, he graduated from Drake University with a BA in 2002 and resides in Bondurant.
