Zach Nunn

Current U.S. representative for Iowa's 3rd Congressional District. Campaign affiliation: Republican.

Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Goals come from the campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Zach Nunn

Background

  • The sitting member for Iowa's third district, in his second term, and a member of the Air Force Reserve.
  • Served in the Iowa House from 2015 to 2019 and the Iowa Senate from 2019 to 2023; the Legislature's sponsor-or-floor-manager list carries 100 bills and resolutions for him across four General Assemblies.

What they say they want to do

  • Make it easier for parents to work, raise families and pay the bills, including simpler adoption and more child care options.
  • Secure a farm bill for Iowa producers and rural communities.
  • Support Iowa's biofuel and ethanol producers and strong support for renewable fuels.
  • Cut federal spending and regulation that he says drove up costs.
  • Fund the military while prioritizing veterans, service members and their families.

What the official record shows

  • Voted Yea on House passage of H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, on April 30, 2026 (Roll Call 154, passed 224 to 200).

Itemized receipts from political committees in the 2025-2026 cycle filings through June 30, 2026, grouped by the FEC's recorded organization type or designation of the contributing committee. The conduit row is the exception: it holds what the campaign's own fundraising platform passed through, which the FEC records as a hybrid political action committee rather than by organization type. Table rows other than the transfer and conduit rows sum to $1,726,477.03, equal to the FEC summary's other-committee plus party contributions. Not in the table: a $4,343.53 line-14 reimbursement to his own committee for fundraising expenses, $32,759.94 of line-15 bank interest, and the memo entries outside the conduit row. A memo entry restates money the report already counts elsewhere, so adding one would count it twice: they include $158,935.05 restating the transfer row and $86,103.01 that donors earmarked to the campaign through four other political committees, which the filing marks as not affecting those committees' own contribution limits.

Words and record

What they say, and what the record shows

Each card gets one label from a fixed list and states its own limit.

Matches stated direction

What they say

His campaign says his first bill to pass the House expanded parental leave for military parents.

What the record shows ·

His first House-passed bill concerned business reporting. Guard/reserve leave came from a bill he cosponsored, enacted in the fiscal 2024 defense law he backed in December 2023.

Quotes, full record and limits

What they say

His campaign says his first bill to pass the House expanded parental leave for military parents.

“His first bill that passed the House of Representatives expanded parental leave for military parents, ensuring those who serve our country have time with new children.”

In their own words, dated

“That's how we passed parental leave for National Guard families, rural housing, and the biggest working families tax cut in American history into law.”

What the record shows ·

The first bill he sponsored that passed the House was H.R. 5119, the Protect Small Business and Prevent Illicit Financial Activity Act, on December 12, 2023; it concerns beneficial-ownership reporting, not parental leave. Across the 118th and 119th Congresses he sponsored no bill on parental leave, and none of the nine floor amendments he offered, eight of which were agreed to and one withdrawn, concerned it. He did cosponsor two parental-leave bills. He was one of three cosponsors, and an original cosponsor, of the Reserve Component Parental Leave Parity Act (H.R. 2597, 2023), which would have given parental leave to members of the National Guard and other reserve components; it never passed as a standalone bill, but the same provision was enacted as section 601 of the fiscal year 2024 defense act, which he voted for on December 14, 2023 and which became Public Law 118-31 and created section 711 of title 10. He was the sole cosponsor of the Coast Guard Reserve Parental Leave Parity Act (H.R. 7952, 2024), which also never passed as a standalone bill; section 603 of Public Law 118-159, the fiscal year 2025 defense act, which he voted for on December 11, 2024, extended that same section 711 to the Coast Guard Reserve.

Limit: The leave became law inside the 2024 defense act, from a bill he cosponsored and voted for. It was not his first bill to pass the House; that was H.R. 5119, two days earlier.

Matches stated record claim

What they say

He says he led on banning congressional stock trading and delivered a ban through the House.

What the record shows ·

He cosponsored the ban and voted for it when it passed the House 232 to 198 in July 2026, though his own two bills never left committee and the ban is not law.

What they say

He says he led on banning congressional stock trading and delivered a ban through the House.

“I led the charge from day one on a stock trading ban, we delivered in the House, and I won't stop until it's signed into law.”

What the record shows ·

He cosponsored H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, on the day it was introduced, January 12, 2026, as one of ninety-three cosponsors and an original cosponsor, and voted Yea when it passed the House 232 to 198 on July 22, 2026 (Roll Call 280); it is on the Senate calendar and is not law. His own two bills on the subject went no further than committee: the Prohibit Insider Trading Act (H.R. 1138), introduced on February 21, 2023, in his second month in office, and the No Corruption in Government Act (H.R. 358), introduced on January 13, 2025.

Limit: A ban did pass the House with his vote and cosponsorship, so "we delivered in the House" holds; "led the charge from day one" is his characterization of a bill he cosponsored rather than sponsored, and his own two bills never left committee. The bill is not law. What the ban covers is a question about the bill's text, which this card does not assess.

Matches stated direction

What they say

His campaign says he pushed for strong support for renewable fuels, and he says they delivered year-round, nationwide E15.

What the record shows ·

What they say

His campaign says he pushed for strong support for renewable fuels, and he says they delivered year-round, nationwide E15.

“We didn't take no for an answer, even from our own leadership, and we delivered year-round, nationwide E15 for the first time ever.”

What the record shows ·

He was an original cosponsor of H.R. 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025, on February 13, 2025, and voted Yea on its passage on May 13, 2026 (218 to 203); the bill was received in the Senate and referred to committee the next day. He sponsored the Year-Round E15 Act of 2024 (H.R. 8052), which was referred to subcommittee and went no further, and four Renewable Fuels Month resolutions between 2023 and 2026, one of which the House considered passed as amended under a rule on January 22, 2026.

Limit: The recorded vote and the cosponsorship both moved in the direction the statement calls for. "Delivered" describes House passage: the bill is not law, and it sits with the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. The check reads the recorded votes on this bill, the titles and actions of the measures he sponsored, and his cosponsorships; work done inside a rule, a manager's amendment or a negotiation leaves no record of its own and would not appear.

Matches stated direction

What they say

His campaign says he fights for a farm bill for Iowa producers, and his official statement says the bill that passed the House carried 21 priorities he secured.

What the record shows ·

He voted for the farm bill that passed the House in April 2026 and got one amendment adopted in committee; the bill is not law, and the record can't check his count of 21 priorities.

What they say

His campaign says he fights for a farm bill for Iowa producers, and his official statement says the bill that passed the House carried 21 priorities he secured.

“Iowa farmers’ hard work resulted in real success, delivering 21 wins”

What the record shows ·

H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, passed the House 224 to 200 on April 30, 2026 with his Yea vote, after nine recorded amendment votes the same day and a failed motion to recommit. He sponsored sixteen bills in Congress.gov's Agriculture and Food policy area across the two Congresses and five more on rural housing, rural credit and rural broadband, including the Next Generation of Farmers Act, the Agricultural Biorefinery Innovation and Opportunity Act and the Protecting Farmers from Natural Disasters Act; each was referred to committee or subcommittee without further action.

Limit: The recorded vote moved in the direction his platform calls for. The committee's report names one amendment of his, #138, adopted by a voice vote in markup. The count of 21 priorities is not checkable against the official record: neither the bill text nor the report enumerates a member's priorities, so the number is his own account of the bill. The bill passed the House only.

Matches stated record claim

What they say

His campaign says he passed legislation to rein in government bureaucracy.

What the record shows ·

Two of his bills on federal paperwork for small businesses passed the House, in 2023 and 2025, and neither became law.

Read the full check

Quotes, full record and limits

What they say

His campaign says he passed legislation to rein in government bureaucracy.

“In Congress, he passed legislation to rein in government bureaucracy and the liberal wish lists impeding our economy.”

What the record shows ·

Two of his bills on federal reporting burdens passed the House: the Protect Small Business and Prevent Illicit Financial Activity Act (H.R. 5119) on December 12, 2023, and the Protect Small Businesses from Excessive Paperwork Act (H.R. 736) on February 10, 2025. Both were received in the Senate; neither became law. Six more of his measures passed the House on other subjects, two of them resolutions.

Limit: House passage is not enactment: neither bill became law, and the card tests only the narrow claim that he passed legislation to rein in paperwork, not the plank's wider sentence about spending, inflation and the economy, which names no measure to check.

Matches stated direction

What they say

His campaign says he led efforts to simplify adoption, expand child care options and support working parents.

What the record shows ·

He sponsored several adoption and foster care bills but no child care bill of his own, and cosponsored ten that name child care; none of these bills moved past committee.

Read the full check

Quotes, full record and limits

What they say

His campaign says he led efforts to simplify adoption, expand child care options and support working parents.

“He’s also led the charge to simplify adoption, expand child care options, and support working parents.”

In their own words, dated

“It also means Iowa families need child care options that aren't being bled out through MILLIONS of dollars in phantom claims.”

What the record shows ·

He sponsored bills in both Congresses on adoption and on children in foster care, all of which were referred to committee without further action: an adoption tax-credit bill (H.R. 2510, 2023), the Pre-K for Kids Act (H.R. 8236, 2024), the Brighter Futures for Teens and Young Adults in Foster Care Act (H.R. 9316, 2024), the Fostering the Future for American Children and Families Act (H.R. 6221, 2025) and the HOME for Foster Youth Act (H.R. 9072, 2026). He also sponsored three resolutions supporting foster youth and foster sibling recognition months. On child care he sponsored no bill of his own. Among his 874 cosponsorships, eight carry a title naming child care, and two more, both called the Investing in Rural America Act (H.R. 4736 in 2023 and H.R. 1246 in 2025), name child care in their official titles among other rural services. Seven of those ten were referred to a committee and three on to a subcommittee; none advanced further.

Limit: Sponsorship and cosponsorship are official actions in the direction each limb of the statement calls for, and none of these bills advanced beyond a subcommittee. The child-care limb rests on cosponsorship alone: he sponsored no child-care bill of his own. The check read every title Congress.gov carries for all 114 bills and resolutions he sponsored and all 874 he cosponsored, matching on the words child care; a bill that names the same subject differently, such as daycare or dependent care, and a provision inside a larger act that no title names, would both be missed.

His campaign says he helped pass the most comprehensive border security solution, against the flow of illegal drugs and human trafficking.

Limit: The campaign page does not name a bill, so this card reads his vote on the House's Secure the Border Act. That bill passed the House only.

What they say

He says he introduced the Prevent Youth Suicide Act to get help into schools before a crisis.

“The Prevent Youth Suicide Act gives high school teachers and staff the tools to act before a crisis, protect our kids, and help them thrive.”

What the record shows ·

He sponsored the Prevent Youth Suicide Act twice: H.R. 5413, introduced September 12, 2023, and H.R. 5482, introduced September 18, 2025. Each would have the Education Department require suicide prevention protocols in schools serving grades 6 through 12 as a condition of federal funds. Both were referred to the Education and Workforce Committee, and Congress.gov lists no later action.

Limit: Congress lists him as the sponsor of both bills. Neither left committee.

He says the largest tax cut in American history brought no tax on tips, overtime or Social Security.

What they say

He says the largest tax cut in American history brought no tax on tips, overtime or Social Security.

“No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. No tax on Social Security.”

What the record shows ·

He voted Aye when the House gave final approval to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 218 to 214 on July 3, 2025 (Roll Call 190); it became Public Law 119-21 the next day. Its section 70103 adds a $6,000 deduction for each taxpayer 65 or older for tax years 2025 through 2028, reduced above $75,000 of income, or $150,000 on a joint return. The law's text does not mention Social Security benefits.

Limit: The deduction is for people 65 or older, whether or not they draw Social Security. It shrinks at higher incomes and ends after 2028. It does not exempt Social Security benefits from tax.
