SIOUX CITY – Randy Feenstra defeated J.D Scholten for Iowa’s fourth district seat in Congress as the 2020 election results are tabulated now that voting has closed.

“Together, we delivered. Thank you #IA04!” Feenstra said following the election, which he won, 204,354-120-152, unnofficially.

J.D. Scholten released the following statement after conceding in the election to serve Iowa’s 4th congressional district:

“Building trust takes time and standing up to the status quo and establishment is no easy feat. I’m incredibly proud of our grassroots campaign for showing up anywhere and everywhere to earn votes across the political spectrum. These past two months alone, we crisscrossed the district, traveling 7,786 miles to all 374 towns, stopping on farms, meeting with small business owners, and listening to stories from workers, seniors, students, and folks from all backgrounds. We’ve provided the roadmap going forward for the Democratic party’s ability to compete everywhere and the standard required for Iowa’s 4th district representative to show up, listen, and be held accountable by the people.

“I’m forever grateful for everyone who has shared their personal stories with us, welcomed us into their business or farm, and donated a piece of their paycheck or their time to help us fight for change. I urge the countless Iowans who have found their voices advocating for causes important to them to not let this moment be the end of their advocacy and political engagement, but the beginning.”
