Election 2026
Independent, source-first accountability
Issue record
In short
Nunn's campaign says he fights for a farm bill and backs biofuels and ethanol. Trone Garriott's campaign backs investing in wind, solar and biofuels, and working with farmers on healthy soil and safe water. On the record, Nunn voted for a year-round E15 bill and a farm bill that both passed the House in 2026; neither is law. He says he won 21 farm bill priorities, a number the record can't check.
Campaign positions
His campaign says he fights in Washington for a farm bill so Iowa's farmers and rural communities have the support they need, and that he pushed for strong support for renewable fuels as an advocate for Iowa's biofuels and ethanol producers.
Her campaign says she would support clean energy investment including wind, solar and biofuels, which she says already power thousands of Iowa jobs, and work with farmers on sustainable practices that keep soil healthy and water safe.
Evidence timeline
official action
He cosponsored the year-round E15 bill and voted for it when it passed the House in May 2026, but it is not law and sits in a Senate committee.
His campaign says he pushed for strong support for renewable fuels, and he says they delivered year-round, nationwide E15. 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.
official action
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.
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. 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.
