GOP Rep. Zach Nunn in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District
Hi John,
Iowa’s 3rd keeps getting more and more competitive, and with momentum swinging toward Democrats, GOP Rep. Zach Nunn is in real trouble.
First, Nunn tried jumping ship to run in an easier district or for governor instead, but Trump shut him down. Since then, he’s taken votes that will hurt his constituents—bringing his record to a career-ending low:
- He voted for the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” cutting food assistance for 31,000 households and health care for over 24,000 people in his district.
- He backed Trump’s tariffs—even though they’re crushing Iowa farmers who rely on imports from Canada.
- And now, his party is enabling Trump’s government shutdown that’s hurting farmers, small businesses, and thousands of federal workers in Iowa.
Zach Nunn barely won this seat in 2022 and 2024. Now he’s skipping town halls to avoid public backlash, and his approval rating is underwater, with 46% disapproving of his job performance compared to just 32% who approve. This is a golden opportunity to flip a GOP seat that could make a big impact on Democrats’ chances of flipping the House, and we can’t waste it.
That’s why we’re asking you to make a donation to Swing Left and all 22 of our House candidate funds today, including Iowa's 3rd. It'll help defeat Republicans like Zach Nunn and flip close swing districts all over the country.

Here’s why this district is so flippable:
✅ In 2022, Nunn only won by 2,145 votes, while all Democrats running statewide carried the district with at least 54% of the vote.
✅ This district includes traditional blue areas like Des Moines and some competitive rural areas, with nearly 150,000 independent voters.
This seat is winnable for Democrats, but make no mistake: it’s going to be a very close race where the future Democratic nominee will need the resources to persuade and engage independent voters, so we can’t afford to take it for granted.
What we do right now is critical to the outcome of this race. Early investments and organizing help build local infrastructure, recruit volunteers, and lay the groundwork for the eventual Democratic nominee to win.
So if you’re in a position to, please make a donation of any amount to Swing Left and our 22 House district funds today.
Your support will help the Democratic nominees in each of our target districts make the early investments needed to flip the House and put a critical legislative check on Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda.
Thanks for everything you do,
The Swing Left Team
