Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa's 3rd congressional district, shared a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) in September 2025 addressing community remembrance, support for the Naval Academy, and bipartisan efforts on housing affordability.

On September 11, 2025, Congressman Nunn wrote: "Team Nunn was honored to join the City of Ottumwa this morning to join the community in honoring the 9/11 anniversary. We thank the first responders, veterans, and community members who came together to honor the lives lost and the courage that followed."

Later that day, he posted a message regarding those at the U.S. Naval Academy: "Please hold our midshipman, faculty, and civilians at the Naval Academy in your prayers." This statement did not provide additional details about any specific incident.

On September 12, 2025, Congressman Nunn highlighted his participation in a bipartisan initiative focused on home affordability: "Home affordability isn’t a red or blue issue. Proud to join @RepCleaver, @RepLisaMcClain, and @SecretaryTurner on the National Mall this week to spotlight the bipartisan work we're doing to make housing more affordable and accessible for Iowans." Efforts to address rising housing costs have gained traction nationally as both lawmakers and advocacy groups recognize housing as a pressing concern affecting Americans regardless of political affiliation.

The anniversary of September 11 continues to be marked by ceremonies nationwide. In Ottumwa and other communities across Iowa and the United States, local officials often gather with residents to remember those lost in the attacks and honor first responders—a tradition maintained since 2001.

Bipartisan approaches toward home affordability reflect ongoing debates within Congress about solutions for rising housing costs. Recent years have seen increased collaboration between members of both parties seeking policy changes aimed at improving access to affordable homes for constituents.
