Nunn Repeatedly Touted Himself As Being Bipartisan…
Iowa Independent: Nunn “Touted His Record Of Bipartisanship And Independence.” “In his first term in Congress, Iowa Republican Rep. Zach Nunn touted his record of bipartisanship and independence. But after voting with his party about 80% of the time in 2023, data collected by the legislative tracking site CQ shows, the second-term lawmaker’s party loyalty score increased to more than 95% in 2025.” [Iowa Independent, 5/28/26]
May 2026: Nunn “Touted” His Bipartisanship. “Nunn, who is to appear with Vance, said Iowa ‘has always been purple’ in a nod to its mix of red and blue politics. He touted his top-10 ranking of House members in a bipartisanship index published for 2023 by the Lugar Center and Georgetown University.” [Wall Street Journal, 5/2/26]

But after voting with his party about 80% of the time in 2023, data collected by the legislative tracking site CQ shows, the second-term lawmaker’s party loyalty score increased to more than 95% in 2025.” [Iowa Independent, 5/28/26]
- Nunn’s Party Support Score Increased After He Repeatedly “Touted His Record Of Bipartisanship And Independence.” “In his first term in Congress, Iowa Republican Rep. Zach Nunn touted his record of bipartisanship and independence. But after voting with his party about 80% of the time in 2023, data collected by the legislative tracking site CQ shows, the second-term lawmaker’s party loyalty score increased to more than 95% in 2025. ‘In the Air Force, I learned that no successful mission can be completed alone,’ Nunn said in a May 2024 press release noting his inclusion in a list of the 10 most bipartisan members of Congress for the 118th Congress. ‘That’s why I’m committed to reaching across the aisle to work with those who are willing to roll up their sleeves, have hard conversations, and find real solutions to the problems that face Iowa families. While partisan bickering is often what grabs headlines, I’m proud of the difference we’ve been able to make for Iowa families by working in a bipartisan way.’ ‘Since taking office, Congressman Nunn has worked across party lines to deliver real results for Iowa families, cutting wasteful Washington spending, lowering costs at the kitchen table, defending Iowa agriculture, and ensuring our servicemembers and veterans receive the support they’ve earned,’ said Nunn’s campaign manager Brendan Duffy in a February 2026 statement. ‘Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike are rallying behind Zach Nunn because he puts Iowa first. He’s a proven leader who builds consensus, fights for results, and delivers for every corner of Iowa’s Third Congressional District.’” [Iowa Independent, 5/28/26]
