Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra is exploring a run for governor of Iowa, where GOP incumbent Kim Reynolds is retiring after two full terms.
“Since Governor Reynolds announced her decision not to seek re-election, Iowans from every corner of the state and walk of life have asked me to run,” the third-term congressman said in a statement Tuesday.
A day earlier, Feenstra filed a statement of organization form with the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board, allowing him to raise funds for a gubernatorial campaign ahead of any public announcements. CQ Roll Call reviewed the public filing.
