The congressman, who took office after Vicky Hartzler, weighed in on topics ranging from judicial balance and regulatory compliance to trade tariffs.
On April 8, 2025, Alford highlighted the rationale behind the House GOP's decision regarding the NORRA Act. Quoting his tweet, "This is why @HouseGOP is restoring balance to the judicial system by voting YES on the NORRA Act: Left-leaning judges are trying to stall President Trump’s efforts to fulfill the American people’s mandate. A single district judge should not have the authority to issue."
Later that day, Alford shared an update on collaborative efforts between himself and Rep. Mann. In a tweet posted on April 8, 2025, he revealed an extension secured on compliance deadlines. "GOOD NEWS: After our letter with @RepMann, @USDA extended the compliance deadline for these costly green energy mandates by 6 months. We'll continue fighting against misguided regulations that would further drive up the cost of housing during an affordability crisis!"
Alford also commented on trade policies, specifically tariffs introduced during President Trump's tenure. On April 8, 2025, Alford expressed support for these economic measures.
