More than three years ago, the world watched in horror as President Biden – in conjunction with Vice President Harris and advisors on his national security team – orchestrated the botched and disorganized withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. This colossal failure of leadership cost the lives of 13 brave American servicemembers, portrayed weakness on the global stage, and left more than $7 billion in U.S. military equipment behind, which has since fallen into the hands of the Taliban.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, a congressional resolution condemning the Biden-Harris administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, a congressional resolution disapproving of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule titled “Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) was named a “Guardian of Small Business” by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for his 100% voting record of supporting small businesses in Congress.
After years of inflation, high interest rates, increased energy costs, trade uncertainty, and bureaucratic red tape, the outlook for the farm economy is bleak. U.S. farmers and producers continue to face drops in farm income, regulations like WOTUS still pose the threat of punitive and costly fines, and inflation has made the cost of doing business more expensive and forced producers to delay new equipment purchases.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act. This legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to ensure that illegal immigrants found guilty of sex offenses, domestic violence, child abuse, or similar crimes can be punished and deported.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Supporting America’s Children and Families Act, which would reauthorize Title IV-B of the Social Security Act for the first time since 2021. Title IV-B provides federal resources to states to support children in foster care and keep families together.
There are many reasons to pass the Farm Bill this year. Prices for corn, soybeans, and other commodities have fallen well below producers’ break-even point, over 100 million birds – including turkeys, broilers, and layers – have been infected by bird flu since 2022, and net farm income is estimated to fall by $10.2 billion this year alone. Inflation also remains a painful tax on our farmers who already face unnecessary and punitive red tape like WOTUS and looming expirations on important pro-growth tax provisions in 2025.
