Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa's 3rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, has recently addressed several issues on his official social media account, ranging from honoring fallen service members to discussing educational bottlenecks and reacting to a school tragedy.
On August 26, 2025, Nunn commemorated the sacrifice of a local servicemember by posting: "Today, we remember Corporal Daegan Page of Red Oak, Iowa, who tragically lost his life outside Abbey Gate at Kabul’s airport when a suicide bomber struck as he helped with evacuation operations.
We also remember that peace can only be secured by U.S. strength. https://t.co/sBZHmxcXYv"
Later the same day, Nunn addressed ongoing challenges in Iowa’s nursing education pipeline. He wrote: "Iowa has thousands of students ready to become nurses—but many are turned away due to a shortage of educators and clinical training spots.
We’re leading a bipartisan bill to fix the bottleneck, support educators, and get more nurses to the frontlines. https://t.co/8dZrNx15Lb" According to data from state agencies and national nursing associations, nursing programs across the United States have struggled for years with limited faculty and insufficient clinical placements—factors that have restricted student admissions despite growing demand for healthcare workers.
On August 27, 2025, Nunn responded to an incident in Minneapolis: "Kelly and I are heartbroken by the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis this morning. As a dad of six, I know the hope and nerves that come with the first week of school, and I can't imagine the fear, loss, and sorrow these families are facing today."
Congressman Nunn's posts reflect both local and national concerns. His legislative efforts on nursing education align with broader federal initiatives aimed at addressing healthcare workforce shortages through bipartisan measures. The commemoration of Corporal Daegan Page comes amid ongoing debates about U.S. military engagements abroad.
