Rep. Mark Alford, who represents Missouri’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, highlighted his recent activities and legislative priorities through a series of posts on September 4, 2025.

In a post published at 14:01 UTC, Alford reflected on community engagement during a recent tour: "At our town hall tour last week, Missourians set an example for the nation that we can disagree without being disrespectful. While we will never compromise our conservative values, we will always show up, be present, and listen."

Later that day at 16:46 UTC, Alford shared news about congressional progress on appropriations legislation: "Proud to work with @RepDaveJoyce & @HouseAppropsGOP to pass the FY26 Financial Services & General Government appropriations bill out of committee! Putting America & Americans FIRST. "

By 19:12 UTC, Alford commented on House GOP efforts regarding national energy policy: "Today, @HouseGOP ensured the United States never takes a backseat in energy leadership or security. FY26 Energy & Water Bill: energy dominance, nuclear strength, economic growth, and protection from adversaries."

Alford has represented Missouri’s 4th District since replacing Vicky Hartzler in 2023. He was born in Baytown, Texas in 1963 and currently resides in Lake Winnebago. Alford graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1988.
