Rep. Nunn Distorts Record On Social Security, Medicare

Representative Zach Nunn makes claims about Social Security, Medicare that don’t add up

Des Moines, Iowa — Representative Zach Nunn took to social media recently to peddle dishonest claims that he protects  Social Security and Medicare and would “ensure no politician plays games” with the programs. The truth is, Nunn took multiple votes that would undermine access to these critical programs. He even introduced legislation that would lead to massive cuts to these programs, making it harder for seniors to access the benefits they earned.

More than 661,000 Iowans are enrolled in Medicare benefits, while 677,000 Iowans receive Social Security benefits, and Iowans need leaders who work to protect these benefits, not threaten to take them away.

“Zach Nunn can run from the truth, but he can’t hide from his record,” said Matt Sinovic, executive director of Progress Iowa. “Rep. Nunn continues to ignore the needs of Iowans. Instead he voted for extreme measures that would harm working people and seniors. Those aren’t Iowa values. Iowans need Congress to protect and expand the benefits they’ve paid into and earned. Their hard work demands better than dishonest claims from the Congressman.”
