Zach Nunn Touts Head Start Program After Voting To Slash Its Funding

Nunn has a pattern of threatening kids’ access to education in Iowa

Zach Nunn is touting a visit with Drake University’s Head Start program. The problem? He voted to cut funding for Head Start – twice.

This isn’t the first time Nunn has jeopardized Iowa’s public education. In the state legislature, he voted for precursors to Iowa’s deeply unpopular school voucher program that diverts taxpayer dollars to private schools.

He’s also called to abolish the Department of Education, which has provided critical support for Iowa students’ K-12 programs, including grants for low-income communities and special education programs.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Zach Nunn is the epitome of a Washington politician, pretending to support critical education programs that he actually gutted funding for. Nunn has spent his political career hurting Iowa children’s ability to get a good education, and Iowans will hold him accountable in November.”
