Rep. Randy Feenstra, who represents Iowa’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, addressed a range of issues on November 3, 2025, through a series of posts on his social media account.

In his first post of the day, Feenstra commented on the ongoing government shutdown by stating: "It’s Day 34 of the Schumer Shutdown. Democrats are inflicting needless pain on Iowans because they won’t budge on giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants or spending an additional $1.5 trillion. It’s time for Democrats to come to their senses and reopen the government." (November 3, 2025)

Later that afternoon, Feenstra discussed tax policy affecting Iowa's agricultural sector and small businesses: "One of the greatest threats to the long-term success of Iowa ag and business is the death tax. It's why, as part of President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts, I worked to increase the death tax exemption to protect our family farms and small businesses." (November 3, 2025)

In a subsequent post that evening, he highlighted local efforts regarding military academy nominations: "Today, our #IA04 Military Academy Board met in Fort Dodge to interview students for nomination to one of our nation’s military academies. I appreciate these Iowans for volunteering their time for this important process and thank all the students who participated." (November 3, 2025)
