Randy Feenstra, a U.S. Congressman representing Iowa's 4th district since 2021, recently expressed his support for various agricultural and economic policies via social media. Rep. Feenstra, known for his advocacy for agriculture and his role in economic policy, responded positively to key developments impacting his constituency.

On April 19, 2025, Rep. Feenstra shared his approval of the nomination of an Iowan as the Chief Agricultural Negotiator by President Trump. Feenstra stated, "I’m glad that President Trump has selected an Iowan to be his nominee for Chief Agricultural Negotiator. Once confirmed, I know that @HoelscherDoug will work to open new markets for agriculture, reduce unfair trade barriers, and be a strong voice for #IA04 farmers and producers."

In another post the same day, April 19, 2025, Feenstra emphasized his commitment to maintaining the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee of the Republican Party, he stated, "ICYMI: As a member of @WaysandMeansGOP, I am working to extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act before its expiration at the end of the year. We must protect tax cuts for our families, farmers, workers, and small businesses. Americans can’t afford a tax hike."

Later that day, he highlighted the urgent need for a new Farm Bill, emphasizing its importance for ensuring stability in the agricultural sector. He remarked, "We must pass a new, five-year Farm Bill ASAP to deliver certainty & stability for our farmers and producers. That means strong protections for crop insurance, increased reference prices for corn and soybeans, and new export markets. I will never stop advocating for agriculture."

Representative Feenstra has been a persistent advocate for agricultural and economic issues, aligning with his legislative priorities since his time in the Iowa Senate from 2009 to 2021. Feenstra, born in Hull, Iowa in 1969, remains an influential political figure in supporting policies beneficial to his constituents and the broader market.
