Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska's 2nd district since 2017, recently shared his views on trade policies, government efficiency, and disaster management through a series of tweets. Bacon has been serving in Congress after replacing Brad Ashford and is known for his focus on economic and administrative issues.

On March 25, 2025, Rep. Don Bacon expressed his stance on trade policies by stating "I support reciprocal tariffs. But free and fair trade are the best. We have to open up our trade. We did a terrible job of that in the last four years." He emphasized the importance of open trade while acknowledging past shortcomings.

In another tweet posted on the same day, Bacon addressed government efficiency: "I welcome DOGE for shining a light on government waste and abuse. But we shouldn't be firing and then rehiring government workers. There is an old saying, measure twice and cut once." He highlighted concerns about workforce management within government operations.

Further expressing his priorities in disaster management, Bacon tweeted "We must have a strong FEMA. I support strongly funding FEMA to make sure we care for those who need assistance." This statement underscores his commitment to ensuring robust federal emergency management capabilities.
