Rep. Mark Alford, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 4th District, has recently shared his views and updates on various topics through social media posts. His statements reflect a mix of international concern, local business pride, and political updates from Washington.

On February 20, 2025, Rep. Alford expressed his concerns about NATO obligations: "Only 35% of the countries in NATO are meeting their current obligations." He noted that during President Biden's first term, efforts were made to encourage NATO countries to meet their commitments. Alford highlighted Germany, France, and Europe's need to enhance their defense efforts against potential threats such as those posed by Putin.

The following day, on February 21, he celebrated a local business achievement: "Impact Signs Sedalia–an impressive small business in the heart of Missouri’s Fourth!" He praised owners Dave and Julie for transforming their garage-based "sticker boy signs" operation into a multi-million dollar company over two decades. Alford remarked on the fulfillment of the American dream through this entrepreneurial success.

Later that same day, Rep. Alford announced an upcoming episode of his podcast series: "CAPITOL RECAP, EPISODE 5!" This episode promises insights into happenings in Washington D.C., including developments with DOGE, Senate Confirmation Hearings, and changes within the postal service leadership with Postmaster DeJoy's departure. The program is set to air on KCMO radio stations in Kansas City.
