Eric Burlison, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 7th district, has recently shared his perspectives on various legislative and national issues through social media posts. A former member of the Missouri House of Representatives and Senate, Burlison has been active in politics since 2009.

On March 12, 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison expressed his support for H.R. 335 by stating that “Every day is a great day to pass H.R. 335 and repeal the NFA!

Later that day, he addressed matters of justice with a post emphasizing accountability: “Those orchestrating and participating in these acts should face the full weight of justice.” This statement was made at 15:35 UTC.

At 18:32 UTC on the same day, Burlison highlighted concerns about federal Medicaid spending under the current administration. He noted a significant increase over five years: “In the last five years, federal Medicaid spending has skyrocketed from $409 billion in 2019 to $618 billion in 2024, a 51% increase.” He further criticized what he perceives as an unsustainable course set by the Biden administration.
