Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa's 3rd congressional district, recently shared a series of posts on his social media account addressing issues ranging from tax relief for service workers to congressional stock trading and constituent services.

On September 3, 2025, Nunn highlighted the impact of recent tax policy changes on service industry workers in Iowa. He stated, "Main Street runs on tips, and our Working Class Tax Cuts put more money back in the hands of Iowans in the service industry. That's real relief for barbers like John, who will no longer be taxed on the tips he makes from every haircut." This message underscored legislative efforts aimed at providing financial relief to workers who rely heavily on gratuities.

Later that day, Nunn addressed concerns about members of Congress engaging in stock market activities. He wrote, "Republicans and Democrats made more than $200 million in the market last year, consistently beating Wall Street's best & brightest. Members are elected to serve the American people, not day trade on privileged information. I'm proud to work across the aisle to call out". The post referenced bipartisan scrutiny over lawmakers' financial activities and ongoing calls for reform.

On September 4, 2025, Nunn discussed his office's outreach efforts with constituents. He posted, "It was great to be on the phones today speaking directly with Iowans. Whether it's a Social Security issue, passport delay, VA benefits question, or feedback on legislation, Team Nunn is always available to help you get answers." The message emphasized his team's commitment to assisting residents with federal agency interactions and legislative feedback.

Nunn has previously advocated for measures such as eliminating taxes on tipped income for service workers—a policy designed to boost take-home pay for individuals in roles where gratuities form a significant portion of earnings. Additionally, there has been growing national debate over whether members of Congress should be allowed to trade stocks while in office due to potential conflicts of interest.
