Ann Wagner, a U.S. Congress member representing Missouri’s 2nd district since 2013, shared her views on recent legislative developments and national events through a series of tweets. Born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1962, Wagner has been an active political figure since she replaced Todd Akin in Congress.

On May 21, 2025, Wagner expressed her support for a new legislative package aimed at economic growth. She stated that "This strong, pro-growth package of legislation is the result of countless months of collaboration, negotiation, and refinement that will cut out unnecessary bureaucratic red tape, expand access for retail investors, and bolster the financial future of all Americans."

The following day, May 22, Wagner condemned an attack in Washington D.C., describing it as terrorism. She tweeted: "Last night’s senseless and cowardly murder of two innocent Israeli diplomats in our nation’s capital is nothing short of terrorism. All Americans must unequivocally condemn this horrific anti-Semitic attack." She extended her concerns to the Jewish community in Missouri who might fear for their safety.

Later on May 22, Wagner voiced her approval for a significant legislative measure referred to as "One Big Beautiful Bill." She remarked: "I was proud to support today’s One Big Beautiful Bill that prevented the largest tax increase in history, secured our border, stood with our military, and strengthened and reformed Medicaid so it will continue to support the most vulnerable in our society." In her tweet, she urged the Senate to take action on this matter.

Ann Wagner graduated from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1984. Currently residing in Ballwin at age 60, she continues to be an influential voice within Congress.
