Rep. Randy Feenstra

Today, my agricultural staffer, Heath, had a great opportunity to meet with students from the National FFA Organization, from chapters across the state of Iowa.

They had a productive discussion about my work on the Agriculture Committee and the importance of youth engagement in shaping agricultural policy at the federal level.

I was proud to help lead the resolution reauthorizing National FFA Week and to recognize the vital role the next generation of farmers will play in feeding, fueling, and strengthening our nation.

I am devastated to hear about the eight lives lost in the tragic B-52 crash at Edwards Air Force Base, including Iowa native Maj. Brad Hovey, a pilot and proud graduate of Iowa State University.

Lynette and I are praying for the families, loved ones, and friends of those lost during this incredibly difficult time. This terrible accident will be investigated. I am eternally grateful for those who volunteer to serve and defend our freedoms.

I am excited to announce that Northwest Iowa has received over $15.2 million in FEMA Disaster Relief funds.

To date, I have worked with FEMA to deliver over $70 million in disaster recovery funds, and I remain committed to securing every federal dollar necessary to strengthen our communities and protect public safety.

Expanding access to broadband in rural communities means supporting:
🏥 Critical infrastructure
💰 Rural economies
📈 Small businesses

I was honored to have my Middle Mile for Rural America Act included in the Farm Bill, to help close the digital divide between rural and urban communities.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy.

That’s why the Working Families Tax Cuts would make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent - helping create an estimated 1.2 million jobs and adding more than $75 billion annually in small business economic growth.

This supports small businesses, workers, and economic opportunity across America.

Lynette and I are praying for the families and loved ones of those senselessly killed in Muscatine tonight.

We grieve this tragic loss of life and stand with the people of Muscatine.

Thank you to all the law enforcement officers and first responders.

Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, Republicans made the 20% small business deduction permanent.
�This is projected to create over 1.2 million jobs over the next decade.
