College Station Today

Michael McCaul, a U.S. Congressman and son of a B-17 bombardier, recently shared updates on his legislative and security efforts through social media posts. His messages highlighted support for aviation veterans and preparations to safeguard major upcoming public events in the United States.

On July 25, 2025, McCaul wrote, "As the son of a B-17 bombardier, I'm committed to honoring the heroes who fought for our freedom in the skies. Proud to cosponsor this important bill to study the disturbingly high cancer rates amongst aviation veterans. They've taken care of us—& it's time we take care of them." The post underscores his advocacy for health studies among aviation veterans.

Later that day, McCaul addressed national security concerns related to mass gatherings: "Over the next 4 years, the U.S. is set to host several mass-spectator events. With millions watching, malign actors could be looking to wreak havoc, which is why @HomelandGOP's Special Events Task Force is laying the groundwork now to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all." He emphasized proactive planning by Homeland Security committees to mitigate potential threats at large-scale events.

On July 28, 2025, McCaul promoted his appearance on a podcast: "ICYMI: I joined the @WashTimes Threat Status podcast to discuss global threats to U.S. national security and how to counter emerging threat tactics, including drones, ahead of mass-spectator events on U.S. soil. Listen below:" The discussion focused on evolving security challenges such as drone technology.

Michael McCaul has represented his district in Congress through several election cycles. In 2024 he defeated Theresa Boisseau with over 63% of the vote; similar margins were seen in prior contests against Linda Nuno (2022), Mike Siegel (2020 and 2018), and Tawana Walter-Cadien (2016 and 2014). These repeated victories underscore his longstanding incumbency and influence within Texas politics.
