No Cashing in Act Targets Lobbyists | Des Moines News

Congressman Zach Nunn just dropped a bold new bill called the No Cashing in Act, targeting former lawmakers who cash in on taxpayer pensions while simultaneously lobbying for big-money interests. The legislation would slash pensions by the amount earned from lobbying, aiming to shut down the “double-dip” culture plaguing Washington. With nearly half of all ex-Congress members since 1998 jumping straight into lobbying—like one ex-rep who made millions pushing Big Pharma after healthcare reform—Nunn’s push is about ethics, accountability, and stopping policy decisions from being swayed by future paychecks. The bill has bipartisan support and could vote this year, and as Nunn runs for his third term, it’s also a clear message about his priorities—and a potential campaign centerpiece.
