Rep. Don Bacon, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska's 2nd District since 2017, has recently shared several statements on social media addressing key issues and expressing his viewpoints. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963, Bacon now resides in Papillion and holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.

On February 11, 2025, Rep. Bacon emphasized his district's support for a strong relationship between the United States and Israel while condemning anti-Semitism and racism. He stated: "#NE02 is very supportive of a close U.S.-Israel relationship and are very much disgusted by anti-Semitism, and all form of racism. We stand up against your hate."

Later that day, he addressed an issue concerning drug smuggling into prisons through mail. Highlighting the lack of scanning methods for illegal drugs entering penal systems via this route, he noted a significant increase in such incidents: "Currently, there is no method to scan mail in prisons for illegal drugs, yet there has been a 600% increase in drugs entering the penal system this way. Thank you to @AfgeLocal4070 for supporting this bill."

In another post made on February 11th, Rep. Bacon expressed agreement with an unspecified statement or sentiment by simply stating: "I can't agree more!"
