(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Congressman Zach Nunn, a Republican from Bondurant, says the immediate priority for the new speaker of the U-S House is bringing a series of budget bills up for a vote on the House floor. Nunn supports the House G-O-P’s new plan to try to reduce federal spending below the level the former House speaker and President Biden agreed to this spring. President Biden has also proposed a spending package with funding for Israel, Ukraine and U-S border security.

Nunn says the new House speaker is right to plan for separate votes on those issues. Nunn is calling for a conversation about funding for the war in Ukraine, as he says there’s currently no accountability, no strategy going forward and no vision of what the end of the war should look like.
