Randy Feenstra, a U.S. Congressman representing Iowa's 4th district since 2021, shared updates on recent legislative actions and local developments through his social media platform. Feenstra has been active in politics for several years, having served in the Iowa Senate prior to his current role.

On May 6, 2025, Feenstra announced that "the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation to make sanctions on Iran permanent." He emphasized the importance of these sanctions by stating that "the world cannot have a nuclear Iran," and highlighted the need to restrict Iran's oil sales and financial activities to limit its capacity to fund terrorism and violence.

Later that day, Feenstra expressed satisfaction with the reopening of a local postal facility. In his post at 13:12 UTC, he stated, "Following repeated requests by our office, I’m glad that the Charter Oak Post Office has finally reopened after more than a year of closure." He underscored the reliance of rural communities like #IA04 on postal services for essential needs such as receiving mail, medications, and paying bills.

In another post made at 14:03 UTC on May 6, Feenstra commented on former President Trump's leadership during his first 100 days in office. He noted "The clearest example of President Trump's decisive leadership...was his complete and total lockdown of our border." He supported Trump's assertion that "it turned out that all we really needed was a new President” to secure the border.

Randy Feenstra was born in Hull, Iowa in 1969 and currently resides there. He graduated from Dordt University with a BA in 1991.
