Rep. Randy Feenstra, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Iowa’s 4th district, shared his views on various legislative matters through a series of tweets. Feenstra has been an active voice in Congress since replacing Steve King in 2021 and previously served in the Iowa Senate from 2009 to 2021.

On November 20, 2024, Rep. Feenstra expressed his support for a congressional resolution condemning antisemitism globally. He stated, "Tonight, I voted for a congressional resolution strongly condemning the global rise in antisemitism. Antisemitism has no place on our college campuses, in our country, or anywhere around the world."

In another tweet posted on November 21, 2024, Rep. Feenstra addressed tax policy by advocating for the elimination of what he terms the "death tax." He argued that it is "unfair, costly, and punitive," and called for passing his Death Tax Repeal Act with the hashtag #AxeTheDeathTax.

Later that day, Feenstra criticized Senate Democrats regarding agricultural legislation. Referring to a bill passed by House Republicans six months prior, he tweeted: "181 days ago, @HouseAgGOP passed the Farm Bill... Senate Democrats have turned their backs on Rural America by failing to get a Farm Bill finished." He highlighted measures included in the bill such as strengthened crop insurance and protections against foreign ownership of farmland.
