With her extensive leadership in education, I’m confident her commitment to teaching and learning excellence will be invaluable in strengthening DMACC’s academic” (March 23, 2026).

Later that day, Feenstra addressed Iowa Ag Week by discussing challenges facing local farmers due to California’s Proposition 12. In his post he stated: “In honor of Iowa Ag Week, I’m highlighting key wins for Iowa farmers. California produces less than 1% of our nation’s hogs, yet its Prop 12 imposes an unscientific mandate that hurts Iowa producers, raises pork prices, and threatens animal health. That’s why I helped introduce” (March 23, 2026).

On March 24, Feenstra reminded constituents about Severe Weather Awareness Week with practical advice for preparedness: “It’s Severe Weather Awareness Week, a reminder to be prepared for tornadoes and flooding.
