Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa's 3rd Congressional District, posted a series of updates on X (formerly Twitter) in mid-September 2025 regarding recent legislative developments in national defense and foreign policy.

On September 14, Nunn announced the passage of a major defense bill in the House. He stated, "The House passed a defense bill this week that delivers key resources to keep America safe and our military strong — and we led 9 key amendments to:

Support Iowa’s defense workforce

Stand with America's allies

Promote Peace Through Strength".

The following day, September 15, Nunn expressed gratitude to Chairman French Hill for his leadership in advancing legislation through the Financial Services Committee. He wrote, "Thank you Chairman @RepFrenchHill for your leadership.

The PEACE Act passed @FinancialCmte 53-1. It includes the Chairman’s important work on the REPO Act, and it’s ready for the floor.

Now is the moment to give President Trump the tools to cripple the Russian war machine. We".

Later on September 15, Nunn highlighted bipartisan support for amendments included in this year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), stating, "Nearly 100 amendments were included in this year's NDAA by @RepublicanStudy Members to put our troops first and keep America safe

This is Peace Through Strength in action."

The NDAA is an annual federal law specifying the budget and expenditures of the U.S. Department of Defense. The inclusion of nearly 100 amendments by Republican Study Committee members reflects ongoing efforts within Congress to prioritize troop welfare and national security through legislative means.

Nunn's reference to supporting Iowa’s defense workforce highlights his focus on local as well as national interests within broader defense policy discussions. His mention of giving "President Trump the tools to cripple the Russian war machine" comes amid continued international tensions involving Russia and U.S. allies.
