About
Eric Burlison represents Missouri's 7th congressional district and serves as chair of the Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs subcommittee within the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As subcommittee chair, he shapes the agenda for examining federal economic policies, energy regulation, and government efficiency—areas where Congress conducts critical oversight of executive branch agencies and can advance legislation to reform regulatory frameworks.
Burlison brings a technology and business background to his committee work. Before entering Congress, he worked as a software engineer and business analyst at CoxHealth and later at Cerner, giving him direct experience with how government regulation affects private enterprise and healthcare technology. He previously served in the Missouri House of Representatives and Missouri Senate, building a legislative record focused on business and regulatory issues.
As chair of the Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs subcommittee, Burlison has advanced legislation addressing government efficiency and emerging technologies. His sponsored bills include the Smart Space Act of 2026, the Guidance Clarity Act of 2025, the FIT Procurement Act, and the Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act, reflecting his focus on modernizing federal procurement, protecting consumer data in autonomous vehicles, and reducing regulatory burden. He also serves on the broader Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the new House Department of Government Efficiency Committee, positioning him to influence how federal agencies operate.
Burlison's committee assignments and legislative priorities reflect a conservative approach to regulation and government spending. His membership in the National Rifle Association and Missouri Right to Life indicates alignment with traditional Republican constituencies, while his technology sector background and focus on regulatory clarity suggest he advocates for business-friendly policies within his committee's jurisdiction.
