Here is last week’s (October 4th) appearance on Iowa Press. (27 minutes)
Ryan Melton has some very interesting and very well thought out policy positions. He has obviously given deep thought to the specific problems of his district. This appears to be in opposition to his opponent, incumbent Randy Feenstra.
Since we have no guidance on the issue, we can only guess why Randy Feenstra avoids Ryan Melton. My take is that Feenstra has positions he does not want to defend in public. Feenstra pretty much votes MAGA Party line.
If the coming government is MAGA led with convicted felon DonOLD Trump as the president, Randy Feenstra will have a difficult time defending cutting Social Security, Medicare, FEMA, Agriculture programs and many other policies being promulgated by Project 2025 which will be the playbook of a MAGA administration and congress.
It is a shame that the fourth district is not more competitive. Having a district that is overwhelmingly one party leads to extremism and lack of concern for the district. Has the fourth district forgotten what Steve King became?
Melton comes off very well in this clip, showing a true depth of knowledge and thoughtfulness in seeking solutions. If you are in the fourth district give voting for Melton some serious thought.

Arrrgh. As an active registered Democratic voter in the Fourth District, I want to point out that there are about 83,000 of us here, plus tens of thousands more who are classified as either inactive Democrats or “No Party.” Many of us need no persuading to vote for Ryan Melton.
Eighty-three thousand people is a lot of people in Iowa. And some of us are hoping hard that our counties will be moved to another district after the next census. Yes, we are outnumbered in the Fourth, but we do exist, and yes, many if not most of us do remember Steve King. Though personally, I wish King had won his last primary. King was horrible, but he was so outrageous that he was, in terms of committees and influence, ineffective. Feenstra is much slicker and therefore able to do more damage.
