Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, on Tuesday secured victory in his primary challenge from a former CIA officer and retired Army ranger after a fight over who was the more conservative candidate. Feenstra overcame a challenge from Kevin Virgil, who had sought to take the nomination away from the lawmaker. Feenstra is seeking a third term in Congress. Feenstra had drastically outspent his opponent during the race. As of mid-May, Feenstra had spent $3.3 million on the race and had nearly $1.
Virgil said at a recent debate he decided to run because he believes Feenstra 'has very quietly proven to be one of the worst conservatives in Congress,' according to The Des Moines Register. But Feenstra told the Register Virgil is 'the liberal between the two of us' and said Virgil had not lived in Iowa for years before deciding to move back to his home state to run for Congress. Virgil said he planned to move back to Iowa for some time.
