Randy Feenstra, a representative of Iowa's 4th District in the U.S. Congress, recently shared updates on his legislative efforts through a series of tweets. Known for his focus on agriculture and healthcare, Feenstra continues to advocate for policies that support family farms and small businesses.

On March 7, 2025, Feenstra expressed gratitude towards colleagues from Texas for supporting his Death Tax Repeal Act. He stated: "I thank my friends and @WaysandMeansGOP colleagues from Texas — @RepNateMoran, @RepBethVanDuyne, and @housebudgetGOP Chairman @RepArrington — for cosponsoring my Death Tax Repeal Act." He emphasized the importance of this legislation for family farms and small businesses in Texas and Iowa.

Later that day, he announced the introduction of legislation aimed at extending Medicare coverage for audio-only telehealth services beyond its scheduled expiration date. In his words: "Yesterday, I introduced legislation to permanently extend Medicare coverage of audio-only telehealth beyond its March 31 expiration." Feenstra highlighted how crucial telehealth services are in providing high-quality care to families, farmers, and seniors.

In another tweet posted on the same day, Feenstra revealed the introduction of the FARMLAND Act alongside Senator Joni Ernst and Representative KMR. This act seeks to safeguard American farmland from foreign acquisitions, particularly focusing on China. Feenstra asserted: "I just introduced the FARMLAND Act with @SenJoniErnst and @RepKMR to review purchases of American farmland and protect our farms and agricultural production from our foreign adversaries, especially China."
