Rep. Vern Buchanan, a long-standing member of the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 16th district since 2007, has expressed concerns regarding job creation and military readiness through a few recent tweets. Serving as a representative, Buchanan has been actively involved in addressing issues concerning trade practices and national security.

On April 2, 2025, Buchanan communicated his anticipation for President Biden's initiative to boost employment in America. "Proud to join @SpeakerJohnson to hear @POTUS’s plan to bring jobs back to America. " he tweeted.

Later that day, he addressed the impact of trade practices on employment, suggesting a need for a shift in policy. "For too long, unfair trade practices devastated America’s manufacturing base and stole millions of blue-collar jobs. It’s time to level the playing field and bring those jobs back. @POTUS is fighting for American workers. "

On April 3, 2025, Buchanan presented his stance on addressing obesity within military ranks, emphasizing its effect on the nation’s defense capabilities. "Obesity directly impedes military readiness. That’s why I introduced critical legislation to combat this growing threat. I look forward to working with @SecDef and @SecKennedy to enhance military preparedness and ensure the U.S. remains the world’s strongest fighting force."
