Rep. Randy Feenstra, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman for Iowa’s 4th district, utilized his social media platform on April 15, 2025, to express support for initiatives benefiting Iowa’s industrial and agricultural sectors. Feenstra, who succeeded Steve King in 2021 and has prior experience in the Iowa Senate, used consecutive tweets to outline his legislative priorities and responses to federal actions impacting his constituency.
On April 15, 2025, Rep. Feenstra communicated his gratitude towards the Iowa delegation for backing his efforts to reinstate complete funding for the Center for Industrial Research and Service. According to Feenstra, "Within hours of receiving our letter, NIST confirmed that this funding would continue to support domestic manufacturing & good-paying jobs in Iowa."
Later that day, Feenstra turned his attention towards what he terms as an unfair tax, which he believes hinders family-run farms and small businesses. In his words, "The death tax is an egregious double tax that unfairly targets #IA04 family farms and small businesses and directly threatens long-held farming traditions in rural Iowa and nationwide." He announced his introduction of the Death Tax Repeal Act aimed at abolishing this tax.
Feenstra also addressed his concerns over Democratic opposition to extending tax cuts, originally enacted under President Trump. He shared, "By opposing our @HouseGOP mission to extend President Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Democrats have made clear that they want to raise taxes on hardworking Iowans." He underscored the Republican commitment to preserve these tax cuts for various stakeholders in Iowa.
Randy Feenstra, aged 54 and born in Hull, Iowa, holds a BA from Dordt University, class of 1991. He continues to live in Hull, bringing a wealth of experience from his previous roles in state politics to his current responsibilities. His actions and statements reflect ongoing efforts to sustain Iowa's economic landscape by advocating for policy changes and funding allocations.
