ALL FOUR REPUBLICANS WHO REPRESENT IOWA IN THE U-S HOUSE ARE SEEKING REELECTION THIS YEAR, INCLUDING FOURTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN RANDY FEENSTRA OF HULL.
FEENSTRA’S 2024 RACE IS A GENERAL ELECTION REMATCH WITH RYAN MELTON, A DEMOCRAT FROM WEBSTER CITY.
FEENSTRA’S REPUBLICAN OPPONENT IN THE JUNE PRIMARY GOT 40 PERCENT OF THE VOTE AND THAT CANDIDATE — KEVIN VIRGIL — ENDORSED MELTON IN AUGUST.
THE PRIMARY REASON WAS THAT MELTON AND VIRGIL BOTH OPPOSE THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO SEIZE LAND FOR A CARBON PIPELINE.
FEENSTRA SAYS HE’S ALSO OPPOSED TO EMINENT DOMAIN, BUT THE PIPELINE IS A STATE ISSUE, NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE AND HE CALLS VIRGIL ANTI-AGRICULTURE.

MELTON SAYS HE EXPECTS TO GET SOME PROTEST VOTES FROM REPUBLICANS.
THERE ARE 90-THOUSAND MORE REGISTERED REPUBLICANS THAN DEMOCRATS IN THE DISTRICT AND IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR DAVE PETERSON SAYS THAT’S A BIG ADVANTAGE FOR FEENSTRA:
