DES MOINES — U.S. Representative Zach Nunn (IA-03) today announced he will serve as Vice Chair of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on National Security, Illicit Finance, and International Financial Institutions. U.S. Representative Warren Davidson (OH-08) will chair the subcommittee. “Foreign adversaries, like China and Russia, take advantage of every opportunity to jeopardize our national security. As a former cyber intelligence officer, I’ve witnessed firsthand that these attacks don’t happen on a traditional battlefield,” said Rep. Nunn. “As the threats against our country evolve, I look forward to working with the Committee to prioritize combatting illicit finance, fostering technological innovation, and ensuring that our security measures stay ahead of emerging threats.” Rep. Nunn served our country for two decades in the United States Air Force. As an airborne intelligence officer, Rep. Nunn flew recon missions off the coasts of Russia and China. After 9/11, he deployed three times to the Middle East and flew over 700 combat hours. He served as Director of Cybersecurity at the White House’s National Security Council combating cyber-attacks from foreign adversaries. Rep. Nunn currently serves as a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. “As an U.S. Air Force veteran and service on our Committee in Congress, Rep. Nunn is a perfect member to help lead the National Security Subcommittee alongside Rep. Davidson,” said Chairman Hill, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. “Rep. Nunn understands the importance of protecting our nation’s national security, whether that is combating illicit finance or maintaining American leadership in the international financial markets. I look forward to watching Rep. Nunn thrive in his new role as Vice Chair of the National Security Subcommittee.” In the 118th Congress, Rep. Nunn passed bipartisan legislation into law to create transparency in the enforcement of current sanctions on the Iranian regime, allow for essential and targeted legislation when responding to Iranian aggression, and provide accountability for government management of sanctions. “As a veteran of the United States Air Force, still serving as Colonel in the Air Force Reserve, Rep. Nunn has devoted himself to securing America’s foreign and domestic national security interests,” said Chairman Davidson. “I am excited to have Rep. Nunn serve as my Vice Chairman, and I look forward to working closely together to strengthen our financial intelligence and national security protocols in the 119th Congress.” Building on his legislative efforts last Congress, Rep. Nunn will use his new leadership position to:
