Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa's 3rd congressional district, recently posted a series of statements on his social media account addressing local agriculture, the state of free speech in America, and the anniversary of a national tragedy.

On September 10, 2025, Nunn wrote about his engagement with Iowa’s agricultural community: "Had a productive meeting with the @IowaFarmBureau today. Iowa’s farmers and producers feed and fuel the world, and I'll always have their backs." The Iowa Farm Bureau is one of the state's largest agricultural organizations and plays a significant role in advocating for farmers' interests.

Later that day, Nunn commented on an incident involving Charlie Kirk: "Charlie Kirk’s death is an assassination of America’s First Amendment Rights." This statement references the passing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk and frames it as a threat to free speech rights in the United States.

On September 11, 2025, Nunn commemorated the anniversary of the September 11 attacks: "On the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we remember the nearly 3,000 Americans who were taken from us in a single morning. We also honor the courage of the heroes who emerged and answered the call to serve. America will never forget."

The events referenced by Congressman Nunn reflect ongoing concerns among lawmakers regarding support for agriculture in Iowa—an industry that significantly contributes to both state and national economies. Additionally, public debate over freedom of expression continues to be prominent in American political discourse. The annual remembrance of September 11 remains an important moment for reflection across government institutions and communities nationwide.
