Iowa District 4 Rep. Randy Feenstra formally launched his campaign for governor this (Tuesday) morning. Feenstra, a Republican from Hull, was first elected to Congress in 2020 and served two terms in the House of Representatives prior to announcing his bid for the governor’s mansion. Feenstra says his upbringing in northwest Iowa shaped his values and approach to public service. He says, “I’m excited to officially launch our campaign to take Iowa to new heights. Born and raised in the small community of Hull, I learned hard work at a young age, and I want to take a workhorse mentality to Des Moines. In Congress, I worked with President Trump to deliver the largest tax cut in U.S. history, keep men out of women’s sports and bathrooms, and stop China from buying Iowa farmland, and as Governor, I will work with President Trump to advance the America First agenda in Iowa. Together, with the support of Iowans across our great state, we will defend our conservative values and take Iowa to new heights.” Feenstra is a fourth-generation Iowan and former Dordt University instructor, who previously served as Hull’s city administrator, Sioux County treasurer, and chair of the Iowa Senate Ways and Means Committee. Several other Republicans have already announced they would be running in the GOP primaries next June, including District 43 State Rep. Eddie Andrews, former District 91 State Rep. Brad Sherman, and former Iowa Department of Administrative Services Director Adam Steen. Current Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand is the frontrunner in the Democratic primaries and, so far, is running against Julie Stauch, the former Iowa political director for Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 presidential campaign.
