Rep. Mark Alford, representing Missouri's 4th district in the U.S. Congress since 2023, recently shared a series of tweets addressing significant national issues. Born in Baytown, Texas, and currently residing in Lake Winnebago, Alford has a background in journalism with a degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
On February 19, 2025, Rep. Alford expressed his views on the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, criticizing President Biden's withdrawal strategy. He stated: "It’s simple: this war should have been over a long time ago. This would have never happened had Biden not pulled out of Afghanistan the way he did. He showed weakness on the world stage."
Later that day, Alford conveyed his intentions to collaborate with Kelly Loeffler, the new Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA). He tweeted: "I look forward to working with our new @SBAgov Administrator @KLoeffler to support small businesses by expanding and enhancing the Trump tax cuts, cutting Biden’s red tape, and getting SBA workers out of the swamp and into rural communities."
On February 20, 2025, Rep. Alford highlighted efforts by House Republicans to bolster job creation and economic competitiveness alongside President Biden. He remarked: "House Republicans are working with @POTUS to create jobs, protect our economy, and make America COMPETITIVE."
