U.S. Congressman Randy Feenstra, representing Iowa's 4th district since 2021, shared several tweets expressing his legislative priorities and concerns regarding taxation and agricultural policy. His posts spanned April 14, 2025, and revealed key aspects of his economic and political agenda.

On April 14, Feenstra announced his introduction of the Death Tax Repeal Act alongside Leader John Thune. Feenstra stated, "Americans who have built successful family farms & small businesses should not face a massive tax bill from the federal government when a loved one passes away." He emphasized the act as a measure to eliminate what he considers an egregious double tax.

Later that day, Feenstra pressed the need for a new, five-year Farm Bill, accusing Senate Democrats of impeding efforts to achieve a bipartisan agreement last year. He expressed, "We can’t let politics get in the way of certainty & relief for our farm families and rural communities," underscoring the necessity to support America's farmers and producers.

In a subsequent tweet, Feenstra criticized the Democratic approach to the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, advocating instead for extending these tax cuts to provide relief to families, farmers, and small businesses. He painted a stark picture of the opposing parties’ strategies, remarking, "The Democrat plan is to let these tax cuts expire & stick working families with a massive tax bill. Those are just the facts."

Feenstra, 54, a native of Hull, Iowa, has a legislative focus on tax and agricultural policy, reflective of his experience and constituent base in Iowa. Randy Feenstra graduated from Dordt University in 1991 with a BA and previously served in the Iowa Senate from 2009 to 2021.
