Rep. Pat Fallon, U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 4th district since 2021, posted a series of statements on February 23, 2026, addressing recent developments in U.S. military policy, economic performance, and inflation rates under different presidential administrations.
In his first post at 14:31 UTC, Fallon commented on the U.S. military posture toward Iran, stating, “President Trump is a man of action with excellent advisors. The US military buildup against the Iranian regime is what peace through strength looks like in real time.”
Later that day at 15:20 UTC, Fallon criticized President Biden’s economic policies and praised former President Trump’s approach to inflation. He wrote, “Biden’s reckless spending drove inflation to a devastating 40-year high of 9%, hurting working families with skyrocketing prices. President Trump restored fiscal sanity and slashed it to 2.4%. A massive 70% drop. This is what real leadership delivers to the American people.”
At 19:01 UTC on the same day, Fallon highlighted recent employment data and credited an “America first” agenda for positive trends in jobs and wages: “The US economy EXCEEDED expectations once again last month. 172k private sector jobs were added while trimming 42k government positions, dropping unemployment down to 4.3%. Businesses are hiring, wages are climbing, and the economy is benefitting because we put America first.”
Fallon has represented Texas’s 4th District in Congress since replacing John Ratcliffe in 2021 and previously served in both the Texas House of Representatives (2013-2019) and Texas Senate (2019-2021). He was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1967 and currently resides in Frisco at age 55. In past elections for his congressional seat, Fallon won by significant margins over his opponents: defeating Simon Cardell in the 2024 general election with over two-thirds of the vote; Iro Omere in the 2022 general election; and Russell Foster in the 2020 contest.
