French Hill, a U.S. Congressman representing Arkansas' 2nd district since 2015, recently shared his views and updates on various issues through social media posts. Hill, who succeeded Tim Griffin in Congress, has been actively involved in legislative processes and community matters.

On March 11, 2025, Hill expressed his support for the government funding bill. He stated, "I was proud to support today’s government funding bill and give President Trump the time he needs to negotiate his priorities and make recommendations for FY26 spending." Hill emphasized his commitment to working on appropriations bills for FY26 until September.

Three days later, on March 14, 2025, Hill commented on the situation of Jimmy Lai's imprisonment. He remarked that it was "Heartbreaking to hear Jimmy Lai’s son recount his father’s story." Highlighting Lai as a "peaceful champion of democracy and freedom," Hill called for Lai's immediate release from solitary confinement.

Later that day, Hill alerted residents of Arkansas' 2nd district about potential severe weather conditions. He advised them to stay informed by following local forecasts: "There is a possibility of severe weather in #AR02 this afternoon and evening."
