Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska's 2nd district since 2017, has expressed concerns over several pressing issues through recent social media posts. His remarks touch upon economic, international, and personal philosophical themes.

On June 5, 2025, Rep. Bacon highlighted potential economic challenges facing small businesses if the current tax law is allowed to expire. He stated that "Small businesses know that their taxes will increase by 20% if we let the 2017 tax law expire. In fact, we’ll see over $4T in new taxes if we don’t act and that will crush our economy." This reflects his ongoing advocacy for maintaining favorable tax conditions for small enterprises.

In another post on the same day, Rep. Bacon discussed geopolitical stability concerning Taiwan and China during an appearance on NewsNation. He emphasized the importance of arming Taiwan to prevent conflict with China by stating "ICYMI: On @NewsNation I discussed how the best way to prevent war between China & Taiwan is giving Taiwan the weapons it needs to deter conflict."

Additionally, on June 5th, he shared a personal insight from his daily reading routine from Proverbs: "I read a chapter in Proverbs everyday and King Solomon advised staying out of other people’s arguments." This reflects his personal approach towards conflict resolution based on biblical wisdom.

Don Bacon was born in Momence, Illinois in 1963 and resides in Papillion. He holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
