Congressman Zach Nunn, who represents Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District and serves as co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth, used his social media platform to highlight recent activities and legislative efforts. His posts addressed local Veterans Day events, foster care initiatives, and criticism of congressional negotiations.

On November 13, 2025, Nunn shared a message about honoring veterans in Iowa: "This Veterans Day week, Team Nunn joined Ringgold County to honor America’s heroes who served at home and overseas. From school programs to community tributes, Iowans came together to say thank you. It’s on all of us to keep fighting for our veterans — the same way they always https://t.co/wLANFeMepb"

Later that day, he commented on participating in a presidential order signing: "Honored to join President Trump today as he signed an order to expand education opportunities, career programs, and housing options for young adults transitioning out of the foster care system. As a foster and adoptive dad and @CaucusOnFY Co-Chair, I'm proud to work across the https://t.co/mMWbPhTc03" Nunn has previously advocated for bipartisan approaches supporting youth aging out of foster care.

On November 14, 2025, Nunn criticized Democratic leadership over legislative delays: "Even Noah’s Ark moved faster than the Democrats when it came time to cut a deal. 43 days and nights of missed paychecks, missed benefits, and travel chaos — all because Jeffries and Schumer took their cues from the far-left instead of the moderates who ended up working with us https://t.co/DdLLcTP1ds" The post referenced ongoing budget negotiations in Congress that resulted in government service disruptions.

Nunn's remarks come amid broader national discussions about support for veterans' services following public ceremonies nationwide each November. Additionally, federal attention toward improving outcomes for youth leaving foster care has increased in recent years through executive actions aimed at expanding access to education and housing.

The Congressman is known for his advocacy on both veteran affairs and child welfare policy within Congress.
