Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa’s 3rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, shared updates on legislative initiatives and local developments through a series of posts on July 27, 2025.

In his first post, Nunn highlighted efforts to address safety in schools: "We introduced the Safe Schools and Communities Act to help schools stop fentanyl, gang violence, and trafficking before they reach the classroom. Every Iowa student deserves a safe place to learn, and this bill gives educators the tools to make that happen." (July 27, 2025).

Later that day, he discussed bipartisan progress on foreign policy measures targeting Russia: "This week, our bipartisan PEACE Act became the first Russia sanctions package to pass through a House committee. We're working across the aisle to give President Trump new tools to hit the Russian war machine without costing taxpayers a cent." (July 27, 2025). The PEACE Act marks a step in ongoing Congressional efforts to strengthen economic pressure on Russia following its actions in Ukraine and other international concerns.

In his final update for the day, Nunn turned attention to local economic development: "Bondurant is building something big—the new Grain District. A bold, Iowa-grown vision for jobs, small businesses, and community. Team Nunn was proud to join local leaders as they broke ground on a project that will fuel the Bondurant community for years to come." (July 27, 2025). This initiative reflects ongoing investments aimed at fostering growth and opportunity within Iowa communities.

Nunn's statements underscore his focus on both national legislative priorities—such as school safety legislation and foreign sanctions—and regional economic projects intended to benefit constituents in central Iowa.
