RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF MR. ANDREW BOHN
______
HON. ZACHARY NUNN
of iowa
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an
individual who has been an indispensable member of Team Nunn since the
very beginning--Andrew Bohn, whose dedicated service strengthened both
our office and Iowa's 3rd Congressional District.
A proud son of West Des Moines and a graduate of the University of
Iowa, Andrew brought Iowa common sense, sound judgment, and an
unwavering commitment to every role he held in our office. From
Legislative Aide, where he established our constituent mail program and
mentored younger staff, to Legislative Assistant, where he drafted his
first

bill, the CLARITY Act, to strengthen our national security and counter
China. These efforts built the foundation that culminated in his
promotion to National Security Advisor, where he became one of the most
trusted voices in our office on some of the most consequential issues
before Congress.
Andrew played a central role in advancing our national security
priorities, helping us secure more provisions in the Fiscal Year 2026
National Defense Authorization Act than any other Member of Congress.
He helped lead on several marquee pieces of legislation, including the
AI Plan Act and the Maximum Pressure Act to expand Iran sanctions, both
topics that remain top of mind today. His diligent work strengthened
our national security, supported our servicemembers and their families,
and ensured that Iowa's voice was clearly represented in shaping
America's defense policy.
Yet Andrew's greatest contributions extend beyond legislative
achievements. He approached every responsibility with steadiness,
humility, and a deep sense of duty to the people of Iowa's 3rd
District. Whether navigating complex policy challenges or welcoming
visiting Iowans to the Capitol, Andrew exemplified professionalism and
kindness. My own family experienced this firsthand, as he was often the
first to go on a scavenger hunt or take my daughters for ice cream--
small gestures that reflected his character and genuine commitment to
service.
Through long hours, demanding negotiations, and pivotal legislative
moments, Andrew remained focused on delivering results for Iowans and
upholding the trust placed in our office.
Andrew Bohn strengthened our team and advanced our mission to serve
Iowa's 3rd Congressional District with integrity and purpose. We wish
Andrew success in his next endeavors and have no doubt he will continue
to lead and serve with excellence in the next chapter of his career.
The distinctive accomplishments of his service greatly reflect himself,
the people of Iowa, and the United States.
