(Radio Iowa) – Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra hosted his annual fundraiser today (Friday) in Sioux Center — but did not mention running for governor. Feenstra announced yesterday (Thursday) that he’s raised over three MILLION dollars for his campaign for governor, but his remarks today (Friday) were focused on his work in the U.S. House.

Feenstra says he worked with the Trump Administration in writing parts of the package that deal with tax and ag policies.

The bill extends the tax cuts President Trump approved in 2017 and Feenstra mentioned the new tax credit for contributions to scholarships that go to students in K-through-12 private schools.

Feenstra says the bill will secure crop insurance for farmers. According to Feenstra, the package moves the country into the future Trump described on the 2024 campaign trail.

Feenstra announced in mid-May that he had formed a fundraising committee to explore a run for governor. He’s already run campaign style ads and the bio on Feenstra’s account on X, or Twitter, does not mention he’s a member of congress. It says Feenstra is a “Republican for Governor of Iowa.”
