Feenstra Named Champion of the Industry by Association of Equipment Manufacturers; Only One of Four Lawmakers Recognized

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) was named a “Champion of the Industry” by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers for his work to support Iowa farmers, agribusinesses, and equipment manufacturers.

Feenstra is one of only four lawmakers to be recognized with this award this year, and one of only 16 in the association’s 125+ year history.

“I’m humbled to be one of four lawmakers to receive the Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ Champion of the Industry Award this year,” said Rep. Feenstra. “Equipment manufacturers help our farmers feed and fuel our country and the world, and it’s important that we advance policies that support American manufacturing and the good jobs this industry creates. I will continue to advocate for pro-growth tax and agricultural policies that strengthen our economy, bolster American agriculture, and support our equipment manufacturers.”

“The Association of Equipment Manufacturers is proud to recognize Representative Feenstra who has demonstrated the bipartisan leadership and constructive governing necessary to move our industry forward,” said Kip Eideberg, AEM Senior Vice President of Government and Industry Relations. “We need more leaders like Representative Feenstra who has the courage to pursue common ground and bold solutions to our nation’s toughest challenges. We are grateful to him for his unwavering commitment to bipartisanship during this pivotal moment for our country.” 

The AEM Champion of the Industry, AEM’s most prestigious award, is reserved for one Democrat and one Republican from each legislative chamber who have championed legislation important to equipment manufacturers and have worked across the aisle to help move the industry forward. Candidates are considered and approved by the AEM Government and Public Affairs Committee.
