Congressman Kevin Hern, who has represented Oklahoma’s 1st district since 2018, recently shared a series of tweets on various topics including energy policy and tax cuts. Hern, originally from Belton, Missouri, is an advocate for American energy independence and economic policies aimed at reducing government size.
On February 10, 2025, Congressman Hern emphasized the importance of “American energy dominance” in a tweet. He stated that it is crucial not only for the United States but also for global stability to avoid reliance on “dictators, despots, and terrorists” for fuel supply. Hern expressed confidence that under President Trump’s leadership, America would resume its status as a net exporter of energy. “American energy dominance is essential not only for our own people, but for millions around the world who would otherwise be dependent on dictators, despots, and terrorists for their fuel supply! Under President Trump, America will become a net exporter of energy once again!”
Later that day at 17:32 UTC, Hern tweeted about leadership changes with an enthusiastic tone stating simply: “Leadership is BACK!”
In another tweet posted at 17:45 UTC on February 10th, Hern discussed economic policies in conversation with Larry Kudlow. He advocated making President Trump’s tax cuts permanent as a strategy to control inflation and reduce government size. Hern cited historical precedent by mentioning former President Bill Clinton’s reduction of government jobs in the mid-1990s as an example of bipartisan efforts to streamline government operations. “We’ve got to make President @realDonaldTrump’s tax cuts permanent! Had a great talk with Larry Kudlow—if we want to get inflation under control, we need to shrink government. Even Bill Clinton cut 273,000 government jobs in 1994—when did that become partisan? @DOGE is leading…”
