Evidence

AP reported that Zach Lahn defeated Randy Feenstra in Iowa's Republican gubernatorial primary on June 3, and that Feenstra conceded the race.

Feenstra's run for governor ended at the nomination stage, blocking any chance to carry out the promised governor-level defunding policy in this cycle.

The promise was explicitly conditioned on Feenstra becoming governor. He lost Iowa's Republican gubernatorial primary on June 3, 2026, conceded the race, and therefore never obtained the governor's office or the state executive authority needed to defund cities under this pledge. There is no evidence that his current federal office delivered the specific promised outcome through another route.
