Eric Burlison: One year of President Trump's second term- the results speak for themselves

(From Seventh District Congressman Eric Burlison)

Tuesday marked one year of President Trump’s second term, and the results speak for themselves. Through the One Big Beautiful Bill, Republicans delivered historic tax relief, strengthened border security, and restored work requirements in welfare programs while beginning to roll back the policies that drove up prices for working families.

Going forward in 2026, Republicans must advance the Republican Study Committee reconciliation agenda to make the American dream affordable again by lowering housing, healthcare, and energy costs.

 

March For Life and defending the unborn

On Friday, thousands of Americans gathered for the annual March for Life to affirm a simple truth: Life is a sacred gift from God, worthy of protection from the moment of conception. 

I was grateful to receive an A+ rating on Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s 2025 Scorecard, reflecting my consistent record of defending unborn children and supporting mothers. As we move forward in 2026, I will continue working to advance my bill H.R. 722, the Life at Conception Act, which seeks to provide legal recognition and protection for life from the moment of conception.

I will always fight to protect the lives of the unborn.

 

Ending Obamacare's grip on American health care

I recently joined Reps. Kevin Hern (OK-01) and Michael Cloud (TX-27) on the Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) Right to the Point podcast to explain why Obamacare cannot be fixed and must be replaced. Fifteen years after its passage, the law has failed to reduce the number of uninsured, doubled premiums, and limited access to care.

Republicans are advancing comprehensive reforms, including provisions from my MAHA proposal, through the RSC’s second reconciliation framework to rebuild a patient-centered healthcare system from the ground up.
