Eric Burlison, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman for Missouri’s 7th district, shared his views on various policy issues through a series of tweets. Burlison, who succeeded Billy Long in Congress in 2023, has previously served in the Missouri House of Representatives and the Missouri Senate.
On February 18, 2025, Burlison criticized the Biden Administration’s regulatory policies affecting American energy production. He stated that these policies have created a “regulatory minefield” that limits energy production and raises costs for consumers. Burlison highlighted efforts by former President Trump to address these concerns and noted that “GOP oversight is examining the impact of Biden-era policies that put Americans last.”
In another tweet dated February 19, 2025, Burlison addressed economic issues faced by Americans. He remarked that “60% of Americans have been living paycheck to paycheck funding government pet projects that don’t even benefit them.” He questioned how cutting wasteful spending could be considered a constitutional crisis.
Later on February 19, 2025, Burlison announced an initiative aligned with Trump’s energy agenda. He expressed pride in organizing “our key subcommittee’s first hearing to support Trump’s agenda to restore American energy dominance.” The focus is on reducing regulations and fostering innovation to provide affordable and reliable energy access for Americans.
