Zach Nunn Lets Farm Bill Expire (Again) To Focus on His Campaign

The Farm Bill is expiring today after Zach Nunn left Washington for the next month to prioritize his campaign. Nunn should have passed a new five year Farm Bill a year ago - instead, he let it expire for nearly 50 days last year and has failed to pass a new one yet again.

Over the last two years, Nunn has done nothing to pass a new five year Farm Bill, putting 84,900 farms and 14,890 dairy jobs in Iowa at risk of missing out on critical monthly payments.

Iowa families will also pay the price - failure to pass a new Farm Bill could cost U.S. taxpayers nearly $20 billion dollars and more than double the price of milk at grocery stores.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Nothing is more important to Zach Nunn than keeping his seat in Washington, even if it means leaving Iowa farmers behind."
