Randy Feenstra, a U.S. Congressman representing Iowa’s 4th district, recently addressed several key issues through his social media posts. Feenstra has been in office since 2021, succeeding Steve King, and previously served in the Iowa Senate for over a decade.

On February 19, 2025, Feenstra shared that he had led a letter alongside 22 colleagues to address the bird flu outbreak with USDA Secretary Rollins. He stated, "Yesterday, I led a letter with 22 of my colleagues to @SecRollins asking that USDA do everything possible to resolve the bird flu outbreak, proactively prevent the spread of foreign animal disease & promote farm biosecurity." The post emphasized support for producers and efforts to lower egg prices.

Later on the same day, Feenstra voiced his opposition against potential taxes or fees on local radio stations. In his post at 21:55:55 UTC, he wrote, "Iowans rely on local radio to get their news, receive weather alerts, and keep up with sports. Any attempt to impose a tax or fee on our local radio stations must be completely rejected." He also expressed support for Rep. Steve Womack's Local Radio Freedom Act.

In another post made at 23:39:49 UTC, Feenstra thanked the Trump administration for designating certain drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. He mentioned specific groups including Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and the Sinaloa Cartel by stating "Thank you to the Trump administration for designating dangerous drug cartels like Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and the Sinaloa Cartel as Foreign Terrorist Organizations."
