Voter guide
The candidates, side by side
Background comes from government or official office records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so. Goals are summarized from each campaign's own platform page and stay attributed to the campaign. The record lines are official votes, sponsorships, and filings with the government source attached. Money is shown as filed, by the type the FEC records for the contributing committee, and is not evidence of why any position was taken. Money rows are itemized receipts from political committees; transfers from joint fundraising committees and the conduit entries for earmarked individual contributions sit on their own rows and are not additive with the rest; other memo entries, reimbursements, and receipts from organizations that are not political committees are excluded; each candidate's note gives the filing window and the reconciliation to the FEC summary.
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. Iowa Legislature, Iowa Legislature
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. Zach Nunn for Congress
Voted Yea on passage of H.R. 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025, the year-round E15 bill, on May 13, 2026 (Roll Call 164, passed 218 to 203). Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives
Has sponsored 114 bills and resolutions across the 118th and 119th Congresses and cosponsored 874; eight of his own measures passed the House, the first being H.R. 5119 on December 12, 2023. Congress.gov, Congress.gov, Congress.gov
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.
A sitting Iowa state senator for District 14, serving since January 2021 and now in her third General Assembly, the 91st. Iowa Legislature

Issue comparison
What each campaign says
These are attributed platform positions, not promises The Stated Record has verified or endorsed.
His campaign says out-of-control government spending drove inflation that hit every Iowa family's budget, that he passed legislation to rein in government bureaucracy, and that the tax-and-spend policies behind record cost levels must stop.
Her campaign says she would crack down on corporate price gouging, end a tariff policy she says raises prices on ordinary families, expand the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit, and eliminate junk fees and surprise medical bills. On the economy she says she would invest in apprenticeships, vocational schools, community colleges and job training, build rural broadband, and pursue companies that commit wage theft.
His campaign issues page states no position on health care; its national defense section lists mental health beside veterans, active military and military families. In his own posts he says money he fought for brought $50 billion to rural hospitals and $2 million to double a county dialysis center, and $209 million for health care in Iowa to keep physicians local and train doctors and nurses.
Her campaign says she would let Medicare negotiate prescription drug prices, extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, reverse this year's Medicaid cuts, let more Iowans reach Medicare earlier, and expand mental health and substance use treatment and support for rural providers.
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.
His campaign issues page states no position on this subject. In a post of his own he says he led the effort to ban members of Congress from trading stocks and that the ban passed the House.
Her campaign says she supports a full ban on stock trading by members of Congress, the White House and their staff, with jail for offenders if fines do not stop it; a twelve-year term limit; an enforceable Supreme Court ethics code; a nationwide ban on partisan gerrymandering; bans on corporate PACs and super PACs and overturning Citizens United; a lifetime ban on members becoming lobbyists; required annual public town halls; published meeting schedules; and independent public audits of federal agency spending.
His campaign says he is fighting to keep families and neighborhoods safe by supporting law enforcement and first responders, and that he helped pass what it calls the most comprehensive border security solution, against the flow of illegal drugs, human trafficking and exploitation.
Her campaign says she would push comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border, streamlines legal pathways, protects Dreamers and invests against human trafficking and drug smuggling, and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement must follow the law and be accountable. On public safety she says she would fund what local law enforcement needs, expand victim services and community-based mental health response, and close loopholes she says let weapons flood the streets.
His campaign describes him as a recognized pro-life leader committed to fighting for the unborn, says he stands with Iowa's seniors, disabled and unborn, and says he is working to simplify adoption so every child finds a home.
Her campaign says she would work to restore nationwide protections for abortion access and safeguard the right to contraception, in vitro fertilization and prenatal care, and that politicians should not interfere in those medical decisions.
His campaign says he is fighting to make it easier for parents to work, raise families and pay the bills, and that he has led the charge to simplify adoption, expand child care options and support working parents.
Her campaign says she would expand the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit to put money back in families' pockets, and would expand early childhood education.
His campaign says he supported policies that both fund the military adequately and prioritize veterans, active military, military families and mental health, and describes him as a twenty-year combat veteran.
Her campaign says she would expand access to Veterans Affairs services, especially in rural areas, so veterans can reach housing, education and job training without obstacles, and would increase investment in suicide prevention and crisis response.
His campaign says he is a firm believer in the right to free speech and the right to bear arms, and that he is stopping politicians who would tell Iowans how to act or how to defend their families.
Her campaign's public safety page says she would close loopholes she says let weapons flood the streets, hold dangerous criminals accountable, and fund school safety without turning classrooms into fortresses. No separate position on gun rights appears on her twelve issue pages, nor in the 255 posts and replies from her account, 41 of them replies, running from September 2025 to September 2026, that the desk read.
His campaign issues page states no position on schools. In his own posts he says he would bring shop class back to every high school as part of training the skilled trades, and that he introduced the Prevent Youth Suicide Act to get help into schools before a crisis.
Her campaign says she would protect the Department of Education and the federal money that reaches Iowa classrooms, raise teacher pay, expand early childhood education, and open community college and trade programs to all, and it opposes diverting taxpayer money to private school vouchers.
His campaign issues page states no position on Social Security, Medicare or retirement; its right-to-life section says he stands with Iowa's seniors. In his own posts he says the largest tax cut in American history means no tax on tips, overtime or Social Security, and he lists new retirement savings accounts for working families among what he is leading on for Iowa.
Her campaign says she would never support cuts to or privatization of Social Security and Medicare, nor weakening Iowa's public-employee pension system, and would work to strengthen those programs and expand Medicaid access in rural communities.
No position on unions, collective bargaining or the minimum wage appears on his campaign issues page, which carries sections on Iowa families, constitutional rights, the economy, law enforcement and the border, right to life, national defense, agriculture and Iowa values. None appears either in the 489 posts and replies from his account, only 2 of them replies, running from September 2025 to September 2026, that the desk read.
Her campaign says she would support passage of the PRO Act to strengthen the right to organize and collective bargaining, and strong enforcement of the Davis-Bacon Act so federally funded infrastructure work pays prevailing wages, and says she holds a 100 percent lifetime voting record with the Iowa Federation of Labor.
The number of cards varies with what each candidate's official record supports, and every card carries the same required parts: what they say, what the official record shows, one label from the fixed list, and its limit. Each card is labeled narrowly, by rule. A single vote, sponsorship, or filing can match one claim without proving a candidate's whole record, and a card never says why someone did something.
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.”
“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: Parental leave for reserve-component families did become law, from bills he cosponsored and acts he voted for, and the National Guard provision his post names was enacted first. What the record does not bear out is that it was his bill or his first bill to pass the House: he sponsored no parental-leave bill in either Congress. The check read the official titles of all 114 bills and resolutions he sponsored, all 874 cosponsorships, his nine floor amendments and the enacted text of both defense acts; a provision inside another act that no title or index names could still be missed.
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.
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.
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”
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.
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.
“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.
She says she spent three years advocating to let foster children keep their social security survivor benefits.
“For the past 3 years, I advocated to let foster children keep their social security survivor benefits instead of the state using them to cover foster care costs.”
She is the sole sponsor of Senate File 481 (2025), a bill on benefits received by children in foster care, introduced and referred to Health and Human Services on March 3, 2025 with a subcommittee assigned, on which she sat, and no further action. Her post says the change was announced by Governor Reynolds rather than enacted by that bill.
Limit: A sponsor list records bills, not advocacy in other forms, so the three-year span her post claims is not something this record can confirm or contradict: the Legislature lists one bill from her on the subject, introduced in March 2025, and none in either earlier General Assembly. Her post says the change was announced by the Governor rather than enacted by her bill, and this card does not say her advocacy brought it about.
She is one of sixteen Senate sponsors of Senate File 2239 (2026), one of fifteen of Senate File 109 (2025) and one of sixteen of the same bill in the 90th General Assembly (Senate File 95, 2023), each creating a paid, job-protected family and medical leave insurance program. Each was introduced, referred to the Workforce Committee and assigned a subcommittee, with no further action.
Limit: Sponsorship in the minority caucus is an official action in the direction the platform calls for; none of these bills reached a committee vote, and each carries fourteen or fifteen other sponsors. The check reads the sponsor lines and histories the Legislature publishes; floor amendments, committee votes she cast and advocacy outside the bill list would not appear.
She is one of sixteen Senate sponsors of Senate File 2045 (2026), increasing the state minimum hourly wage, introduced and referred to the Workforce Committee on January 14, 2026 with a subcommittee assigned. She is also among the sponsors of Senate File 147 (2025) and Senate File 2046 (2026) on wage-payment collection, and of Senate File 263 (2025) on public-employee collective bargaining. None advanced out of committee.
Limit: A state minimum-wage bill is not the federal measure she names, and the PRO Act has no state analogue; the direction of her sponsorships matches the direction of the statement, and none of the bills advanced. The check reads the sponsor lines and bill histories the Legislature publishes for her; floor amendments and committee votes she cast would not appear.
“In Congress, I will fight to stop the corruption in Washington, make life more affordable, and restore healthcare access, and end this war.”
What the record shows ·
She is among the Senate sponsors of an Iowa cancer research program (Senate File 63, 2025), prescription-drug affordability (Senate File 264, 2025), insulin coverage (Senate File 209, 2025) and lung-cancer screening coverage (Senate File 417, 2025), and she is the sole sponsor of a second insulin-coverage bill (Senate File 2322, 2026) and of a bill on Medicaid and children's health insurance coverage for mental health services in school-based settings (Senate File 478, 2025). Each was introduced and referred to committee; none advanced.
Limit: These are state bills in the minority caucus, two of them hers alone and the rest with other sponsors, and none reached a floor vote. The card does not weigh whether any of them would have the effect the platform describes.
“I will support a real ban and real accountability.”
What the record shows ·
She is one of six Senate sponsors of Senate File 557 (2025), a bill restricting transactions in covered financial instruments by members of the Iowa general assembly, legislative staff and their immediate family on the basis of nonpublic information, and providing penalties; it was introduced and referred to State Government on March 6, 2025, assigned a subcommittee on March 11, and went no further.
Limit: A state bill covering state legislators is not the congressional ban she calls for, and no state senate seat can legislate one; the state bill turns on trading on the basis of nonpublic information rather than the outright ban with jail time her statement describes, and it did not advance out of committee. The check covers the descriptions the Legislature publishes for all 223 bills and resolutions it lists for her across the 89th, 90th and 91st General Assemblies; a floor amendment would not appear.
