One of the six Republicans who represents Iowa in congress voted against the spending plan that will keep the federal government operating for three months.
In a message posted on social media, fourth district Congressman Randy Feenstra did not directly refer to his no vote on the temporary spending bill that averts a federal government shut down on October 1, but Feenstra said congress needs to end “reckless government spending” and product a balanced federal budget.
“Iowans and Americans deserve fiscal responsibility from their government,” Feenstra said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
First district Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks, second district Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Marion and third district Congressman Zach Nunn all voted yes on the resolution to provide funding for the federal government through December 20. Both of Iowa’s U.S. Senators voted for the plan, too.
