What they stand for
Feenstra has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports repeal of federal estate taxFeenstra has sponsored the Death Tax Repeal Act in multiple Congresses (HR.1301, HR.7035), legislation that would eliminate the federal estate tax. Both versions drew more than 100 cosponsors in the House, indicating broad support among Republican colleagues for the proposal.
- 02Supports restrictions on foreign farmland acquisitionFeenstra sponsored the FARMLAND Act of 2025 (HR.1920), which would place restrictions on foreign entities acquiring agricultural land in the United States. The bill has been reintroduced across Congresses, reflecting a sustained legislative focus on this issue as it relates to Iowa's agricultural economy.
- 03Supports expanded agricultural credit accessFeenstra sponsored the ACRE Act of 2023 (HR.3139) and its reintroduction, the ACRE Act of 2025 (HR.1822), which address credit and financial access for agricultural producers. Each version attracted more than 50 cosponsors, and both were referred to committee.
- 04Supports immigration enforcement tied to crime victimsFeenstra has sponsored Sarah's Law (HR.578) in multiple Congresses. The bill would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to take custody of individuals present in the country unlawfully who are charged with or convicted of crimes that result in the death or serious bodily injury of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
- 05Voted against both recent continuing appropriations measuresFeenstra voted against the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (HR.9747) and the Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024 (HR.7463). Both bills became law, and in each instance Feenstra's vote was recorded against the majority position of his party in the House.

01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
Randy Feenstra represents Iowa's 4th congressional district, which covers the state's western border and northwestern quadrant, including Sioux City, Ames, Council Bluffs, and Marshalltown. He has served in this role since January 3, 2021. Before his election to Congress, Feenstra served in the Iowa Senate from the 2nd district from 2009 to 2021 and previously held the position of Sioux County treasurer from 2006 to 2008. He is a member of the Republican Party and is retiring from the House in 2026 to seek the governorship of Iowa. In Congress, Feenstra has sponsored legislation spanning federal tax policy, agricultural interests, immigration enforcement, and rural infrastructure. Two of his sponsored bills became law: the Winnebago Land Transfer Act of 2023 (HR.1240) and the Internal Revenue Service Math and Taxpayer Help Act (HR.998). He has also sponsored legislation to repeal the federal estate tax (HR.1301, HR.7035), restrict foreign acquisition of American farmland (HR.1920), expand agricultural credit access (HR.1822, HR.3139), and address immigration enforcement through Sarah's Law (HR.578). Feenstra voted against two continuing appropriations measures that became law — the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (HR.9747) and the Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024 (HR.7463) — both times against the majority position of his party.
