Rep. Randy Feenstra, a U.S. Congressman representing Iowa's 4th district since 2021, has shared his legislative priorities and recent accomplishments through a series of tweets. The congressman, who succeeded Steve King in the role, emphasizes issues such as border security, tax cuts, energy production, and farmland protection.

On November 26, 2024, Rep. Feenstra expressed his commitment to working with President Trump and GOP leadership on several key issues. He stated: "The American people delivered a mandate in November. With unified GOP leadership in Washington, I'll work with President Trump and my colleagues to secure the border, pass the Farm Bill, extend the Trump Tax Cuts & prioritize American energy production."

Later that day, he highlighted an amendment he led concerning energy costs and foreign ownership of farmland: "Last year, an amendment that I led to the Lower Energy Costs Act passed the House of Representatives by a wide margin. My amendment would BAN China from buying American farmland suitable for domestic energy production!" This tweet was posted on November 26 at 18:58 UTC.

In another tweet on November 26 at 21:13 UTC, Rep. Feenstra addressed tax burdens faced by family farms and small businesses during asset transfers: "For too long, family farms and small businesses have been forced to pay a massive tax bill when transferring land or assets. It’s wrong. That’s why I’m leading legislation to #AxeTheDeathTax so that our family farms and small businesses can keep more of their hard-earned money!"
