Rep. Zach Nunn (R-Iowa) and Lanon Baccam, a Democrat running to represent Iowa’s Third Congressional District, faced off in an Oct. 8 debate in Waukee, Iowa, over how they would handle pressing issues affecting their constituents.

Nunn, a first-term congressman who took former Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne’s seat in 2023, is seeking another term. He is an Air Force veteran, a former member of the Iowa General Assembly, and served as director of cybersecurity on the White House’s National Security Council.
