IA-03: Nunn (R) pushes back on Baccam (D) ad targeting abortion positions

U.S. Rep. Zach Nunn is pushing back against claims from his Democratic opponent, Lanon Baccam, that his anti-abortion stances would impact access to in-vitro fertilization treatments and contraceptives.

An ad released by Baccam’s campaign this week features footage from a primary debate during the 2022 election cycle. Nunn, the Republican representing Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, was asked alongside other candidates if they supported a full abortion ban without exceptions. The video shows Nunn raising his hand, endorsing the ban.

“That’s all you need to know,” about Nunn’s view on abortion rights, the ad states.

But Nunn’s campaign is arguing that the ad is “intentionally misleading Iowans about where Zach Nunn stands” on the subject of reproductive health care access.
