Rep. Randy Feenstra is in one of the most critical races for bankers

Rep. Randy Feenstra to Visit with Bankers

Wednesday

Support is pouring in from bankers across the country to the three key races endorsed by Friends of Traditional Banking earlier this month!

A successful Zoom chat and fundraiser with FOTB leaders was held with Senator Ron Johnson (Wisconsin) this week, while a similar online gathering with Representative Randy Feenstra (Iowa) will be held Wednesday at 11am Eastern. (Please email mike@friendsoftraditionalbanking.com if you'd like the link to join!)

Rep. Randy Feenstra

is a proven friend to community bankers

Representative Feenstra has been an outspoken supporter of taxing the largest, bank-like credit unions and now they are coming after him. We simply MUST send a loud message of support ASAP!

"Randy is truly a champion for traditional banking. He has the track record to prove it at both the state and federal level. He is keenly focused on tax and regulatory fairness and equity between industry players. I can think of no one more deserving of FOTB’s support."

--John Sorensen, Pres & CEO Iowa Bankers Association

Meet Congressman Feenstra

Rep. Feenstra will be joining Friends of Traditional Banking for a Zoom chat and fundraiser on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12 at 11:00 AM EASTERN.

If you'd like to join us, please respond to this email or reach out to mike@friendsoftraditionalbanking.com.

Feenstra stands up for us.

We need to stand up for him.

A freshman Congressman from Iowa's 4th District, Rep. Feenstra is up for his first reelection. He served in the Iowa State Senate for 12 years, where he chaired the Senate Ways and Means Committee and led a successful effort to pass a credit union tax bill. The Iowa Bankers Association honored Feenstra with their “Legislator of the Year” designation in 2018. While serving in the Iowa Senate, Feenstra worked for ISB Insurance – an affiliate of Iowa State Bank in Hull, Iowa. He also served as an economics professor at Dordt University.

In his first term in Congress, Feenstra is already emerging as a true friend of traditional banking. He is the lead sponsor of the ECORA legislation in the U.S. House and will likely be named to the House Ways and Means Committee in the next Congress. Although latest polling shows that his district is solidly conservative, Feenstra is being bashed by credit unions who remember what he did to them at the state level and are petrified of what he may do if he stays in Congress. By supporting Feenstra, FOTB leadership wants to send a loud and clear message that if you have our back in Congress, we'll have yours.

Friends of Traditional Banking is a non-partisan grassroots effort organized by bankers in 2012 to improve the political and regulatory environment for the traditional banking industry in the U.S. FOTB is the inverse of a PAC--instead of spreading a little bit of money to a lot of campaigns, they focus a lot of money on a couple of key campaigns.
