Washington, D.C. — Following his selection to serve on the U.S. House Agriculture committee, Iowa 4th District Congressman Randy Feenstra has been named to two additional congressional committees.
Feenstra has been selected to serve on the House Committee on the Budget and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
Congressman Feenstra, a Republican from Hull, says he’s honored to have the opportunity to serve Iowans on the House Budget and Science, Space, and Technology Committees. Congressman Feenstra says through those committees he will work to address the growing national debt crisis and look for opportunities to advance agricultural technology to improve the lives of Iowa farmers.
Feenstra says he will seek common ground where he’s able, but says it’s imperative the budget committee cuts back on reckless spending that will only add to our existing $27 trillion national debt. He says debt reduction and control is paramount. With Sen. Bernie Sanders leading the Senate’s budget committee, Feenstra says he will not hesitate to stand up against socialist government programs that spend money we don’t have and dramatically expand the size of government.
Feenstra says he also looks forward to working with his colleagues on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology to increase the country’s energy independence by exploring ways to improve and expand access to alternative energy sources — prioritizing ethanol and biofuels.
