Zach Nunn Wins Re-election in Iowa's 3rd District

Republican Rep. Zach Nunn has successfully secured re-election in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, defeating Democrat Lanon Baccam in a closely watched race. Nunn's victory, confirmed by Decision Desk HQ and the Associated Press, came with unofficial results showing him leading by nearly 14,000 votes, ultimately garnering 51% of the total votes compared to Baccam's 49%. This win allows Republicans to maintain control over a key seat, crucial for their majority in the U.S. House. The race was initially considered competitive, with private polling indicating a shift towards a toss-up, fueled by Democratic hopes of flipping the seat. Nunn emphasized his commitment to serving all constituents in his victory speech, highlighting bipartisan cooperation and the need to focus on Iowa's priorities. The outcome is significant as it denies Democrats a crucial opportunity to gain ground in the Midwest ahead of the next election cycle.
