Rep. Randy Feenstra, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Iowa's 4th district, has made several recent statements regarding fiscal policies and adoption support. Feenstra has been serving in Congress since 2021, succeeding Steve King, and previously served in the Iowa Senate from 2009 to 2021.

In a tweet on April 15, 2025, Feenstra highlighted the upcoming expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act at the end of the year. He noted the urgent effort led by Chairman Jason Smith to extend these tax cuts, emphasizing their importance for families, farmers, workers, and businesses.

On the same day, Feenstra quoted President Ronald Reagan at 14:12 UTC, stating, “The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.” This comment aligns with Feenstra's broader advocacy for fiscal conservatism and reducing government spending.

Later on April 15, he tweeted about his efforts to support adoption by promoting legislation to make the Adoption Tax Credit fully refundable. Feenstra emphasized that financial costs should not hinder Iowans from adopting, stressing the importance of investing in families and helping children find permanent homes.

Randy Feenstra, 54, was born in Hull, Iowa, and currently resides there. He earned a BA from Dordt University in 1991 and continues to focus on policies that impact his home state and district.
