Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa's 3rd Congressional District, has recently highlighted federal investments and legislative initiatives in a series of posts on his official social media account.

On September 4, 2025, Nunn emphasized infrastructure improvements in Iowa, stating, "Iowa's locks, dams, and power grid fuel our economy. Proud to help secure more than $1.4 billion in investments through the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act to strengthen infrastructure, protect riverways, and help lower energy costs for Iowa families."

The following day, September 5, 2025, Nunn addressed congressional ethics reform: "No more day trading in D.C. We're leading the charge to finally ban members of Congress and their family members from owning or trading individual stocks. Public service should be about serving you, not using insider information to play the markets."

Later on September 5, Nunn reported local community developments: "Big day in Bondurant! Glad to join Mayor Elrod and community members to cut the ribbon and officially dedicate the new water tower. Team Nunn was proud to secure federal funding to help get this project across the finish line."

Nunn's focus on infrastructure investment aligns with ongoing federal efforts to modernize critical systems across the United States. As part of these initiatives, appropriations bills such as the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act have directed significant resources toward projects supporting economic growth and resilience.

Efforts to ban stock trading by members of Congress have been discussed for years amid concerns over conflicts of interest and public trust. Such proposals are intended to address perceived issues related to lawmakers potentially benefiting from non-public information gained through their positions.

Bondurant’s new water tower dedication reflects continued investment in local public works projects within Iowa’s communities. Congressman Nunn’s involvement is part of a broader pattern among legislators seeking federal support for municipal infrastructure needs.
