Rep. Randy Feenstra, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Iowa's 4th district since 2021, shared his views on several legislative priorities through a series of tweets on January 21, 2025. Feenstra has been an advocate for maintaining certain economic policies and addressing immigration issues.

In a tweet posted at 17:23 UTC, Rep. Feenstra expressed his concern about the potential expiration of the Trump Tax Cuts. He stated, "We cannot let the Trump Tax Cuts expire," warning that "the average U.S. taxpayer would face a 22% increase in taxes," while "40 million families would have the Child Tax Credit slashed in half, and 91% of taxpayers would see their standard deduction cut in half."

Later that day, at 18:31 UTC, Feenstra tweeted about what he described as "America’s new golden age." He outlined his legislative agenda, stating, "I look forward to working with President Trump to pass the Farm Bill, extend the Trump Tax Cuts, lock down our border, end the electric-vehicle mandates, support our small businesses, and lower costs for our families."

At 19:59 UTC, Rep. Feenstra announced his introduction of Sarah's Law aimed at detaining and prosecuting illegal immigrants who harm or kill American citizens. He recounted an incident involving Sarah Root, stating that "almost nine years ago, 21-year-old Sarah Root was struck and killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving while drunk." Feenstra emphasized that "we will not tolerate illegal crime in America."
