Feenstra has been an active political figure since replacing Steve King in 2021 and previously served in the Iowa Senate from 2009 to 2021.

On March 14, 2025, Feenstra announced the introduction of new legislation aimed at supporting young farmers. "I just introduced the Crop Insurance for Future Farmers Act to lower the cost of crop insurance for the next generation of #IA04 farmers and producers." He emphasized that this initiative would provide relief to young producers and help them establish themselves in rural communities while keeping foreign entities away from American farmland.

Later that day, Feenstra commented on immigration policies under former President Trump’s administration. "Under the Trump administration, criminal illegal immigrants are being detained and held accountable." He asserted that open borders and crime without consequences would not be tolerated by the country.

In another update related to local sports broadcasting, Feenstra shared news beneficial to Iowa high school sports fans. "Big news for Iowa high school sports! Starting this fall, Iowa PBS will broadcast IHSAA championships for boys' basketball, football & wrestling." This development will enable residents across all 99 counties in Iowa to watch these championships and support student athletes.
