Voted yea on H.R. 3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling deal)) on 2023-05-31: Nunn voted to raise the debt ceiling, joining 148 other House Republicans. This was a reversal from the earlier House GOP position demanding deeper cuts. The vote placed Nunn between fiscal conservatives demanding deeper cuts and constituents who would have been harmed by default, including Social Security and veterans' benefits recipients.

Voted yea on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Nunn voted for $60.8 billion in Ukraine aid, joining 100 other House Republicans who supported it. He defected from the majority of his party (112 Republicans voted no). This came after Nunn had earlier said he would not support aid unless frozen Russian assets were seized first — a condition that was not fully met.

Voted yea on H.R. 2811 (Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 (debt ceiling / spending cuts)) on 2023-04-26: Nunn and Iowa's all-Republican delegation initially threatened to vote no because the bill originally repealed biofuel tax credits critical to Iowa's ethanol industry. After leadership restored the credits, Nunn voted yes. The vote illustrates his willingness to cross party leadership on constituent-aligned ethanol interests, but the overall bill contained cuts to SNAP and other programs affecting lower-income Iowans.
