Rep. Mark Alford, currently serving Missouri’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress since 2023, has recently shared several statements via social media addressing current events and legislative efforts.
On July 7, 2025, Alford announced that "Missouri Task Force 1 is being deployed to Kerr County, Texas to aid in search and recovery efforts following the devastating floods." He expressed pride in having this team within his district and conveyed personal sentiments by stating that he and his wife Leslie are praying for the team's mission and safe return.
The following day, on July 8, 2025, he advocated for legislative action through a tweet urging the passage of the American Land and Property Protection Act. He emphasized its importance by stating "We must pass the American Land and Property Protection Act to stop foreign adversaries from purchasing our farmland and other real estate assets!"
Later that day, Alford addressed criticisms directed at former President Trump regarding the flooding in Texas. He tweeted "As we continue to pray and find resources for the terrible flooding tragedy in Texas, progressive leftists are blaming this flash flooding on President Trump...This is a further signal of the woke left Democrat numbskulls who want to blame Trump for everything." His comments highlight ongoing political discourse surrounding environmental events.
Mark Alford was born in Baytown, Texas in 1963 and now resides in Lake Winnebago. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
