Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa's 3rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, has recently addressed several key policy areas on his official Twitter account.

On August 9, 2025, Nunn commented on tensions in East Asia, stating: "The CCP is ramping up aggression in the Indo-Pacific. We know their goal—Taiwan by 2027—and we're leading to ensure Taiwan has the advanced military tech they need to keep pace with the Chinese and deter an invasion." The post reflects ongoing concerns among U.S. lawmakers about China's intentions toward Taiwan and efforts to bolster Taiwan's defense capabilities.

The following day, August 10, Nunn highlighted agricultural initiatives in Iowa: "Iowa is an agricultural powerhouse because we invest in our farmers. That’s why our reconciliation package includes critical updates to boost conservation, open new international markets, fund cutting-edge research, and strengthen the farm safety net." This statement comes as Congress continues to negotiate legislation aimed at supporting farmers through measures such as expanded conservation programs and increased funding for agricultural research.

Later on August 10, Nunn turned attention to consumer protection efforts: "Scammers are targeting families, seniors, and veterans across Iowa. Our bipartisan bill, the TRAPS Act, gives law enforcement and credit unions new tools to stop fraud before becoming a victim." The TRAPS Act is part of a broader legislative push to address financial scams affecting vulnerable populations.

Nunn's remarks reflect his focus on foreign policy regarding China and Taiwan—a subject that remains central amid rising geopolitical tensions—as well as domestic priorities like agriculture and consumer protection. As a member of Congress from Iowa's third district since January 2023, he has consistently advocated for policies that support both national security interests abroad and economic security at home.
