Alford, who replaced Vicky Hartzler in 2023, has been vocal about his positions on tax relief, ethical standards for Congress members, and honoring notable figures.

On May 13, 2025, Alford expressed his support for fellow Missourian Representative Jason Smith's efforts to halt what he described as "the largest automatic tax increase in American history." He stated that "House Republicans are working to deliver real tax relief for workers and families."

The following day, on May 14, 2025, Alford addressed the issue of stock trading by Congress members. He emphasized that "Members of Congress were elected to serve, not trade stocks," announcing the introduction of the PELOSI Act aimed at rebuilding trust with the American public.

Later that day, Alford reflected on a tribute paid to Governor and Senator Kit Bond on the House Floor. He remarked on the solemn occasion by stating "It was with deep sadness that we honored the life and legacy of Governor / Senator Kit Bond today," acknowledging Bond's impact as a statesman and mentor.
