Representative Zach Nunn (IA-03) has served 100 days in Congress working as a voice for every Iowan in all 21 Counties of the Iowa Third District. In addition to opening three community offices (in Des Moines, Creston, and Ottumwa), the majority of Rep. Nunn’s work on behalf of Iowans has received bipartisan support.

“In order to truly serve every Iowan, I’ve found that being a pragmatic problem solver and working across the aisle on what we have in common is the best way to deliver results,” said Rep. Nunn. “My team and I are here to serve and take Iowans’ priorities to Washington D.C. as we work to move good policy forward in a bipartisan manner, reign in federal bureaucrats that hurt Iowans, and fight for every family in the Iowa Third Congressional District.”
