Representative Mike Bost, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Illinois' 12th District since 2015, recently made several announcements and observations on social media. These posts cover topics ranging from artistic initiatives to space missions and local community engagements.
On March 18, 2025, Rep. Bost announced that applications for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition are now open. He noted that all members of Congress participate annually in this competition, which selects outstanding art pieces from each district to be displayed in the U.S. Capitol.
Later that day, on March 18, 2025, Rep. Bost commented on NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore's extended stay at the International Space Station. Initially planned for one week, their mission was prolonged due to technical issues with their spacecraft and what he described as a lack of prioritization by the previous administration.
On March 20, 2025, Rep. Bost shared details about his travels within his district where he is engaging with constituents on matters affecting rural communities. His itinerary includes touring areas damaged by recent tornadoes and discussions surrounding agriculture policy, farming futures, and maintaining public access to natural resources.
