Eric Burlison, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 7th district since 2023, has taken to social media to discuss upcoming political activities and express his views on current issues. Burlison, who succeeded Billy Long in Congress and previously served in the Missouri House of Representatives and Senate, shared several posts on May 14, 2025.
In a tweet from May 14, Burlison announced that he and colleague Rep. Glenn Grothman would be leading a subcommittee hearing for the GOP Oversight Committee. The focus of this hearing will be on evaluating the Inflation Reduction Act’s financial implications. According to Burlison, the act “wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on the Democrats’ radical climate agenda.” He provided further details through a link to a full press release.
Later that day, Burlison commented on public sentiment regarding political behavior in Washington. He stated that “the American people have no patience for political posturing or partisan gamesmanship,” emphasizing that citizens desire their mandate to be respected. This message was conveyed in another tweet.
A subsequent post by Burlison included only a link without additional commentary or context. The link is available in his tweet.
Eric Burlison was born in Springfield, Missouri, in 1976 and currently resides in Ozark. He holds two degrees from Missouri State University and has been actively involved in state politics before his tenure in Congress.
