Republican congressional candidate Zach Nunn said Saturday at the Iowa State Fair that his priority in Washington will be pushing for more tax cuts in Washington for Iowans.
Nunn, a Republican from Bondurant, is serving as a state senator and is challenging incumbent Democrat Cindy Axne, who is seeking a third term for her 3rd District seat.
Axne is currently the only Iowa Democrat serving in Congress.
On the Des Moines Register Political Soapbox, Nunn promised to push for tax cuts for those making less than $200,000 a year at the federal level, something he has also supported in the state Senate.
Republican congressional candidate Zach Nunn has criticized Biden’s Inflation Relief Act as ineffective in easing inflationary pressures for Iowans.
Nunn said more tax cuts will give Iowans relief from inflation, and state tax cuts have allowed Iowans to spend more and improve the state’s economy overall.
“What we need to do is take what has worked so well here in Iowa and bring it back. Bring the tax dollars back and see what happens to the economy like here in Iowa,” he said.
Nunn criticized Biden’s Inflation Relief Act, which Congress recently passedsaying it will do little to help Iowans better cope with today’s inflation rates.
“The so-called Inflation Reduction Act added almost another trillion dollars to government spending at a time when Iowans are being told you should spend less, you should tighten your belt, but we’re going to go ahead and we’re going to print more money and spend more tax dollars on projects,” Nunn said.
Nunn is a US Air Force officer and has served in the Iowa Senate since 2019. Prior to that, he served in the Iowa House from 2015 to 2019.
Axne is scheduled to speak on the Political Soapbox on Wednesday.
