Mark Alford, a representative for Missouri's 4th District in the U.S. Congress, has shared recent statements via Twitter, addressing a variety of topics pertinent to both local and national interests. Alford, who has served since 2023 after succeeding Vicky Hartzler, took to social media to honor military heroes, discuss upcoming votes in Congress, and highlight a local business in his district.

On March 25, 2025, Alford posted a tweet recognizing individuals who have received the nation’s highest military honor for their remarkable acts of valor. He expressed gratitude towards these individuals, stating, "Today we recognize those who have received our nation’s highest military honor for their extraordinary acts of valor. Thank you to these heroes who went above and beyond the call of duty. We are forever grateful."

Later that day, in a subsequent tweet, Alford referenced legislative moves concerning economic competitiveness. On March 25, 2025, he commented on Congressional Review Act resolutions, noting, "This week, we’re voting on H.J.Res.24 & H.J.Res.75. These Congressional Review Act resolutions will reverse two Biden-era regulations that have increased costs and made America less competitive. Together, we're making appliances & energy prices more affordable for small businesses."

In a more locally focused tweet posted on March 25, 2025, Alford shared insights from a visit to MO PAC Lumber Company in Fayette, MO. He highlighted the company’s significance, stating, "Over in Fayette, MO we had the chance to visit MO PAC Lumber Company. Did you know it takes nearly 80 years to grow a walnut tree? We’re proud to have one of the best walnut lumber exporters and domestic wholesale suppliers in the industry right here in MO-04!"

Alford, aged 59, resides in Lake Winnebago and holds a degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
