On October 16th, I hosted a telephone town hall with more than 7,500 Iowans. I provided an update on what’s happening in Congress and answered questions about important issues ranging from tax cuts and trade to agriculture and manufacturing. Listening to Iowans and advancing our shared values in Congress remains a top priority for me, and these conversations are a great way to exchange ideas and hear directly from those I serve.
HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) joined his Iowa colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives in sending a letter to U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) urging immediate passage of the clean Continuing Resolution (CR) that House Republicans passed in September.
If Democrats had succeeded and President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts were not passed on July 4th this year, families, farmers, and small businesses would have faced the largest tax increase in U.S. history. Over 210 million American taxpayers would have seen an average 22% tax hike, and the tax increase on an average family of four would have been the equivalent of almost two months’ worth of groceries. 40 million families would have also seen their child tax credit cut in half, draining dollars from budgets and wallets.
HULL, IOWA – Tonight, during a telephone town hall with more than 7,500 Iowans, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) announced that his office has returned more than $14.5 million to constituents since 2021.
This summer, Republicans passed, and President Donald Trump signed into law, legislation that prevented the largest tax increase on American families, farmers, workers, and small businesses in history.
Had the first Trump tax cuts been allowed to expire at the end of this year, the average Iowa taxpayer would have seen a 25 percent tax hike while a family of four would have been forced to fork over an extra $1,400 — the equivalent of about eight weeks of groceries — to the federal government.
On Oct. 7, 2023, vicious Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, murdered nearly 1,200 innocent Israelis, and took 251 people hostage — about 50 of whom remain captive. Hamas targeted defenseless civilians as they slaughtered entire families and scorched their homes, raped women and attacked a music festival.
Two years ago on October 7th, 2023, the world watched in horror as vicious Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, murdered nearly 1,200 innocent Israelis, burned entire communities to the ground, and took hundreds of people hostage. Hamas is a terrorist organization that has no regard for human nor any remorse for its violent actions. Killing entire families, raping women, attacking a music festival, and setting homes and neighborhoods ablaze is despicable and shameful.

HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement recognizing National Manufacturing Day:
In October, our country celebrates Manufacturing Month and recognizes the critical importance of manufacturing to our economy. Domestic manufacturing supports good-paying jobs in our communities, strengthens our supply chains, and helps reduce our dependence on foreign nations for the goods and products that Iowans need and rely on. During this month, we also honor Iowa workers in the manufacturing sector who keep our economy moving and make invaluable contributions to our communities.
