Rep. Eric Burlison, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 7th District, actively shares his perspectives on national issues via social media. He assumed office in 2023, succeeding Billy Long, and previously served in both the Missouri House of Representatives and the Missouri Senate. Through a series of posts on May 2, 2025, he addressed several pressing topics.
In a post on May 2, 2025, at 14:44:10 UTC, Burlison criticized the idea of imposing nationwide fees on car ownership. He stated, “I wasn’t elected to slap nationwide fees on car ownership. Our job is to shrink the federal government, not think of new ways to reach into the pockets of hardworking Americans.” This comment reflects his stance against increasing federal financial impositions on citizens.
Later that day, at 16:44:50 UTC, Burlison discussed political resistance on Capitol Hill. He remarked, “The swamp is real, and it’s fighting the Trump agenda every step of the way.” This message underscores his support for the Trump administration’s policies and his view on bureaucratic challenges.
Eric Burlison also commented on government oversight and accountability in a tweet on the same day at 17:13:13 UTC. He inquired, “Who’s the next foolish Democrat jetting off on taxpayer dime to sip cocktails with an accused domestic abuser and gang-linked human trafficker?” Through this statement, he raises concerns about the use of taxpayer funds and the conduct of public officials.
Eric Burlison, 46, born in Springfield, Missouri, currently lives in Ozark. He holds a BA from Missouri State University, which he graduated from in 2000 and again in 2002.
