One Year Ago Today, Zach Nunn Voted To Raise Costs, Gut Jobs, and Jeopardize Funding For Law Enforcement

One year ago today, Zach Nunn passed the Default on America Act, a partisan wish-list that risked the safety and security of Iowa families.

Nunn’s dangerous vote would have:

• Increased taxes on middle class families and raised energy prices

• Gutted funding for veterans’ health care by 22 percent – resulting in nearly 81,000 fewer health service jobs and 30 million fewer veteran outpatient visits

• Jeopardized over 142,000 manufacturing jobs

• Threatened access to Social Security and Medicare

• Jeopardized law enforcement funding

• Risked thousands of children losing their teachers and a quality education

The 118th Congress has been mired in chaos, crisis, and confusion. Thanks to Nunn, history will remember this Congress being the least productive in modern American history.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Nunn will continue to face the consequences for supporting a plan that would have raised costs, jeopardized Social Security and Medicare, and threatened the safety of Iowa families. Time and time again, Nunn has refused to break from his party and put middle class families first.”
