Randall Feenstra — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Iowa, 2026

Randall Feenstra has supported legislation for stricter immigration enforcement, including co-sponsoring the Deporting Fraudsters Act to deport illegal immigrants who defraud the U.S. government. He also introduced a bill to ban welfare recipients from sending money abroad, citing the need to combat fraud and protect taxpayer dollars. His campaign has emphasized his support for "completely securing our border" and "America First policies."

““Programs like Medicare and Social Security are vital taxpayer-funded programs and must be safeguarded against fraud. Illegal immigrants who fraudulently enroll and exploit these programs must be held accountable for their crimes,” said Rep. Feenstra. “That’s why I’m glad to support legislation to ensure that illegal immigrants who defraud taxpayers are deported and never allowed back into our country. I will always protect Iowa taxpayers from fraud and honor our promise to Iowa seniors and workers that they receive the benefits they have earned.””

Representative Feenstra voted against extending the Affordable Care Act's enhanced premium tax credits in January 2026. However, he voted for the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, stating his goal is to reduce costs for Iowans, protect rural hospitals, and expand access to high-quality care. He also supported the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act and praised $209 million in funding for rural healthcare, attributing it to the Working Families Tax Cuts.

““As a father of four and former volunteer EMT for 15 years, I’ve had countless conversations with Iowans about the skyrocketing cost of healthcare and declining access to care in rural communities. Iowans are paying too much for routine checkups and prescription drugs and traveling long distances for doctor’s appointments and emergency care. It’s unsustainable and must change,” said Rep. Feenstra. “That’s why I voted to lower healthcare premiums for Iowa families, seniors, veterans, and small businesses, expand access to high-quality care in rural areas, and ensure transparency in healthcare pricing. In addition to the $50 billion that we passed, and President Trump signed into law, for rural hospitals and healthcare, this legislation helps alleviate the root causes of costly health plans.” – Rep. Randy Feenstra, feenstra.house.gov press release, "Feenstra Votes to Lower Healthcare Costs for Iowans"”

Representative Randall Feenstra has a consistent voting record against environmental protections, earning a 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters in 2025 and a 4% lifetime score. He has voted to rescind protections for the Boundary Waters, reestablish the National Coal Council, and defund the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Feenstra also supported measures like the Budget Resolution Eliminating Clean Energy Incentives to cut taxes and voted to promote drilling and mining on public lands.

Randall Feenstra voted in favor of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (H.R.26), a bill described as interfering with abortion care. He also voted "yes" on the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act (HR 6945) and the Pregnant Students' Rights Act (HR 6359). His voting record is consistent with positions that restrict abortion access.

Randall Feenstra voted in favor of the Made-in-America Defense Act in 2025. He also supported the Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026. This indicates his support for defense spending aimed at national security, protecting American interests, and ensuring safety, strength, and freedom.

Randall Feenstra advocates for significant parental involvement in education, emphasizing the teaching of fundamentals like reading, writing, math, and history over political ideologies such as DEI. He supports policies like tax credits for homeschooling, which he states would increase educational freedom and attract innovative schools to Iowa. Feenstra aims to provide all Iowa children with a world-class education from preschool through college, aspiring to make Iowa a leader in education.

“My parents were both teachers, my wife taught kindergarten for 24 years, and I am a father of four. I believe that parents have every right to be involved in their children’s education. We need to focus on teaching our kids the fundamentals of reading, writing, math, and history - not DEI or other political ideologies. As Governor, I will ensure that every Iowa kid has the opportunity to receive world-class education from preschool through college. We will make Iowa number one again when it comes to education." — Randall Feenstra, Republican Primary Forum in Scott County”

Representative Randy Feenstra strongly supports gun rights, advocating for the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. He reintroduced the PROTECT the Second Amendment Act to prevent landlords receiving federal assistance from restricting tenants' gun rights. He also co-sponsored the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, asserting that constitutional rights are not limited by state borders. Feenstra believes a well-armed citizenry is vital and views federal agencies' collection of firearm transaction records as an encroachment on privacy.

“The right of Iowans to keep and bear arms is enshrined in our Constitution and shall not be infringed. These constitutional protections must be strongly defended and certainly do not cease to exist for gun owners living in rental properties. My PROTECT the Second Amendment Act ensures that landlords or rental property managers who receive federal financial assistance at taxpayer expense cannot unlawfully restrict Americans from exercising their constitutional rights. As a strong advocate of the Second amendment, I will always defend the right of Iowans to keep and bear arms and support law-abiding gun owners.” (Rep. Feenstra, NRA-ILA, February 17, 2026)”
