Rep. Mike Bost, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Illinois’ 12th district, shared significant updates on Twitter regarding developments in the U.S. manufacturing sector, legislative efforts, and tax policies. Bost has been representing Illinois' 12th District since 2015, after replacing Gerald Hawkins and previously served in the Illinois House of Representatives and the Jackson County Board.

In a tweet posted on April 14, 2025, Bost announced, "For the first time ever, NVIDIA will manufacture its AI supercomputers ENTIRELY in the U.S., with plans to produce $500 billion in AI infrastructure over the next four years spanning over a million square feet of new manufacturing space." He attributed this development as a direct result of new policies under President.

Later on the same day in another tweet, Bost marked a milestone, noting, "Just hit the 100-day mark of the new Congress. In coordination with President Trump, House conservatives are delivering on the America First agenda." Bost, who chairs the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, emphasized his leadership role in enhancing mental health care and improving community care access for veterans.

On April 15, 2025, Bost reflected on the implications of the approaching expiration of tax relief measures in a tweet. He reminded followers that, "Today is Tax Day, and it’s a reminder of what’s at stake. Without action, the historic tax relief implemented during President Trump’s first term will expire at the end of the year." He noted this expiration would result in a tax increase for 80% of working families and small businesses.

Mike Bost has maintained a political presence in Illinois for decades, having served in the Illinois House of Representatives and the Jackson County Board. He is known for his commitment to manufacturing growth, veterans' affairs, and tax policies. Mike Bost, 62, was born in Murphysboro, Illinois.
