NEW: Zach Nunn Paid Iowan to Appear in TV Ad Because He Couldn’t Find Anyone to Defend His Record for Free

English Español

Nunn’s record is so unpopular, he has to pay people to defend it

Zach Nunn is running a TV ad featuring an Iowan touting Nunn’s record and saying, “I’m voting for Zach Nunn.”

Only problem?

The same Iowan appeared in *another* video exposing Nunn for paying him to appear in that TV ad and saying, “they just paid me to say that.”

IOWAN: “You might have seen me in a Zach Nunn TV ad, but I’ve got some more thoughts and info for you guys.”

“That same bill gave tax breaks to billionaires, while cutting $1 trillion for Medicaid”

“I’m not voting cause I literally can’t. They [Nunn’s campaign] just paid me to say that.“

It’s no surprise Nunn can’t find anyone to defend his record without paying them…

Nunn raised costs on Iowans to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
Nunn voted for the largest Medicaid cuts in history and said it is a “myth” that his Medicaid cuts would force hospitals to close. Four health care clinics closed their doors and others have done several rounds of layoffs, directly citing Nunn’s Medicaid cuts in their decisionmaking.
Nunn supports repealing the Affordable Care Act and even said the Affordable Care Act “enslaved” the Americans who depend on it. He failed to extend the ACA tax credits and now tens of thousands of Iowans will be forced to pay health care skyrocketing premiums or lose care all together.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Zach Nunn literally has to pay Iowans to defend his record. Unfortunately for him, he cannot buy Iowans’ votes.”
