Iowa's GOP Rep. Randy Feenstra plans to announce run for governor this week, sources say

Iowa Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra plans to announce a run for governor as soon as this week, two sources told CBS News, setting the stage for what could become a politically tense primary contest in the GOP. 

The state will have an open race for governor next year due to Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds' announcement last month that she would not seek another term. 

The entry of Feenstra, who has represented Iowa's 4th Congressional District since 2021, could set up a possible high-profile Republican primary that may come to include Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird—widely regarded within GOP circles as President Trump's preferred choice, if she decides to jump into the fray.
