Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, recently shared several updates on his official social media account, including participation in a Congressional ceremony and commentary on national policy decisions.
On September 4, 2025, Bacon posted about attending an event honoring a historic military unit: “Yesterday I attended the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony in honor of the Harlem Hellfighters of WW1, the 369th Infantry Regiment.”
Later that same day, he criticized the administration’s foreign policy stance in a strongly worded statement: “If this is true, it is a disastrous and shameful decision. This Administration continues to be WEAK towards Putin and a WEAK leader of the Free World. This will read as an ugly chapter in U.S. history if the President does not reverse course.” The context or specific policy prompting this response was not detailed in his post.
On September 5, 2025, Bacon highlighted legislative achievements related to tax relief for Nebraska families: “.@HouseGOP delivered historic tax relief:
$12K+ boost in Nebraska families’ take-home pay
15% tax cut for Americans making $15K-$80K
Tax-free overtime
Tax-free tips
91% of taxpayers get higher standard deduction
Real savings for Nebraska families “
Bacon has served as the representative for Nebraska’s 2nd District since replacing Brad Ashford in 2017. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963 and currently residing in Papillion, Bacon graduated from Northern Illinois University with a BA and later attended the University of Phoenix.
