Feenstra Issues Statement on House Speakership Result

Statement

Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement after U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was elected to serve as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives for the 118th Congress.

"The American people entrusted Republicans with our new House majority to deliver real results for our country and our communities. With the election of Kevin McCarthy as our Speaker, we can now honor our Commitment to America by defunding President Biden's army of 87,000 new IRS agents, securing our border, ending wasteful spending, and protecting our family farmers and producers. I am also encouraged that, under Speaker McCarthy, we have secured important reforms to prevent massive bills -- like the recent $1.7 trillion government spending package that I opposed -- from being written behind closed doors and passed in haste. I look forward to serving Iowans, rebuilding our economy, and delivering on our promises in the 118th Congress."
