Rep. Mark Alford, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 4th district, has recently shared a series of tweets reflecting his political stance and opinions on current events. Born in Baytown, Texas, in 1963, Alford has been an active member of Congress since replacing Vicky Hartzler in 2023.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Alford tweeted "WOKENESS IS GONE." This statement suggests a shift or change in cultural or political dynamics that he attributes to recent developments.

In another tweet posted shortly after, at 03:40:45 UTC on the same day, he stated "Built by Americans for Americans, we are reclaiming the Panama Canal!!" This comment reflects his view on national pride and American sovereignty over strategic infrastructures.

Later that morning at 03:48:26 UTC, Rep. Alford remarked on President Trump's speech about patriotism and military enlistment numbers with the tweet "President Trump just talked about Americans loving our country and joining our military in record numbers. And guess what? Progressive Democrats, like Bernie Sanders, didn't like that. He literally walked out very shortly after…" This tweet underscores a perceived divide between different political ideologies regarding national service and pride.
