Rep. Mark Alford, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 4th district since 2023, posted several updates on September 3, 2025, regarding rural broadband expansion, local attractions, and rural healthcare policy.
In a tweet posted at 20:54 UTC, Alford highlighted congressional efforts to improve internet access in underserved areas: " Today, @HouseSmallBiz held a hearing to see how we can expand broadband to rural areas! Together, we examined how critical access to broadband is, how it can drive economic growth, and how it puts rural small businesses and families first. Watch our conversation https://t.co/dSxbcUgGGN".
Later that evening at 22:05 UTC, Alford promoted tourism within his district by spotlighting a regional landmark: "All Around Missouri’s 4th District: Jacob’s Cave. Lake of the Ozark’s largest & most scenic cave—full of depth illusion, reflective pools, ceiling sponge work + more. Be sure to stop by one of MO-04’s best hidden treasures. Here’s a sneak peak, but you’ll just have to see the https://t.co/zxdHRzrRwY".
At 23:05 UTC on the same day, Alford addressed concerns about healthcare legislation affecting his constituents: "While our office continues to fight for Missouri's rural hospitals in @HouseAppropsGOP, it's critical to set the record straight. The Working Families Tax Law's impact on rural hospitals is being vastly exaggerated. https://t.co/NdT2FnCV9c".
Alford has represented Missouri's 4th district since replacing Vicky Hartzler in 2023 and currently resides in Lake Winnebago. Born in Baytown, Texas in 1963 and holding a BA from the University of Texas at Austin since 1988, he continues to focus legislative attention on issues relevant to his largely rural constituency.
