Zach Nunn Puts Extreme Anti-Choice Speaker and His Agenda Over Iowans

Today, Zach Nunn elected Rep. Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. After churning through a slew of other candidates, Nunn went all in for fellow anti-choice extremist Mike Johnson.

In case you haven’t heard of him, here’s a bit about Johnson:

• Like Nunn, who raised his hand to oppose abortion even in the case of rape, incest, or a mother’s life, Johnson pushed for a total abortion ban without exceptions and voted for legislation to punish doctors for providing essential reproductive care.

• Johnson served as the chair of the Republican Study Committee, leading their efforts to slash Social Security and Medicare.

• Johnson was instrumental in the plan to overturn the 2020 election – the New York Times named him “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections.”

Nunn has completely abandoned working families in Iowa, siding with election deniers, fellow anti-abortion extremists, and relentless attacks on Social Security and Medicare.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Mike Johnson is Jim Jordan with a sports coat. And he has a new best friend: Zach Nunn. Nunn and Johnson are hellbent on rolling back reproductive freedoms, and we’ll make sure that voters know that he again put the far-right before Iowa workers and families.”
