Where they stand, issue by issue

Topic
Sarah Trone Garriott D
Zach Nunn R
Cost of living & jobs
No public position found
STRONGER ECONOMYOut-of-control government spending has caused inflation to skyrocket, impacting every Iowa family’s ability to balance their checkbook. In Congress, he passed legislation to rein in government bureaucracy and the liberal wish lists impeding our economy. source
Immigration & the border
Immigration that’s smart, fair, and reflects our valuesOur immigration system is broken, and Washington is making the problem worse—chaos at the border, dysfunction in the courts, and politicians deeply out of touch with the needs of our communities. Iowa is stronger because of the people who’ve made a home here and contributed to our community. source
BACK THE BLUE & DEFEND THE BORDERIowa is a special place and we need to keep it that way. As your voice in Washington, Zach is fighting to keep our families and neighborhoods safe by supporting our heroes in law enforcement and first responders who serve our communities. source
Abortion
No public position found
RIGHT TO LIFEAs a faith-oriented man, Zach will always stand with Iowa’s most vulnerable – that means protecting our seniors, our disabled, and our unborn. He is a recognized pro-life leader, committed to fighting for the unborn. source
Energy & environment
Protecting Iowa’s land, water, and clean energy futureOur family farms, open spaces, and rivers are part of what makes Iowa special—and they’re under threat. I’ve worked with conservation groups across the state to protect clean water and expand access to public lands. source
No public position found
Veterans
Serving our veterans like they served usOur veterans kept their promise to our country. In return, we need to keep our promises to them. I’ve heard from too many veterans in Iowa who are stuck waiting for appointments, denied the mental health support they need, or lost in a maze of bureaucracy. source
NATIONAL DEFENSEAmerica is the greatest nation in the world and we must continue protecting our citizens from all enemies foreign and domestic – both at home and abroad. source
Elections & government ethics
A Higher Standard for WashingtonA lot of Iowans have given up on Washington. And it’s not hard to see why. Members of Congress get rich off stock trades the rest of us could never make. Politicians spend decades in the same seat, cashing checks from the very corporations they’re supposed to keep an eye on. source
No public position found
Farming & rural issues
No public position found
GROWING AGRICULTUREThe hands, hearts, and hard work of Iowa farmers feed and fuel our country. Zach fights in DC for a Farm Bill to ensure Iowa’s farmers and rural communities have support they need to continue to drive Iowa’s economy. source
