Randy Feenstra, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman representing Iowa's 4th district, has shared several statements on social media concerning his legislative priorities and actions. Having replaced Steve King in 2021, Feenstra has been vocal about his policy stances, particularly regarding energy production and rural development.

On March 6, 2025, Feenstra expressed his opposition to the Biden administration's energy policies by stating "I just voted with @HouseGOP to nullify a Biden-era regulation on American energy production." He criticized the previous administration for its approach to American energy jobs and emphasized the Republican commitment to counteracting these policies.

Later that day, Feenstra highlighted his focus on supporting rural communities through legislative measures. He tweeted at 16:25 UTC, "A top priority for me is enacting policies that bring jobs & investment to rural communities." He promoted his #ACRE Act aimed at facilitating home purchases in rural areas, enhancing capital access for producers, and offering lower credit rates via community banks.

Additionally, Feenstra addressed infrastructure concerns related to flooding in Iowa’s 4th district. On March 6 at 19:52 UTC, he announced collaboration with Rep. Don Davis through legislation intended to provide the USDA with increased flexibility for flood infrastructure repair. As he stated: "Last summer, our #IA04 communities were devastated by historic flooding."
