Kevin Hern, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Oklahoma's 1st district since 2018, has recently expressed his support for Elise Stefanik and former President Donald Trump through a series of tweets. Hern, who succeeded Jim Bridenstine in Congress, was born in Belton, Missouri, and currently resides in Tulsa.

On January 21, 2025, Hern tweeted his endorsement of Elise Stefanik as Ambassador to the United Nations: "Proud to support my good friend and America First fighter, @EliseStefanik. With President Trump’s leadership, she’ll be unstoppable as Ambassador to the @UN!"

Later that day on January 21, he compared Donald Trump's inauguration to that of Ronald Reagan: "Like Reagan, who ushered in a renaissance of American greatness, President @realDonaldTrump's inauguration marks the beginning of a new golden age in America. His vision and leadership will secure a brighter future for our nation!"

On January 22, Hern further praised Elise Stefanik's alignment with Trump's agenda: "Elise is one of the best advocates for President Trump’s AMERICA FIRST agenda that we have. She’s going to be the powerful voice we need at the UN. We are truly going to miss her in the House, but @POTUS made the right choice!"
