Gus Bilirakis, a long-serving U.S. Congressman for Florida's 12th District, utilizes social media to keep his constituents informed on various matters and events. Over recent days, he shared updates regarding federal funds, upcoming events, and holiday greetings.

On April 18, 2025, Bilirakis informed the public that "The SBA has funds available to help residents and small business owners in Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties make improvements to their properties that will help protect them against loss in future hurricanes." He noted that eligible projects might include changes to landscaping to mitigate risks.

Later that day, April 18, 2025, he announced another upcoming tele-townhall via a tweet: "On Monday at noon I’ll be hosting another tele-townhall. Over 9,000 constituents participated during my March tele-townhall." Bilirakis invited residents of Florida’s 12th Congressional District to join by calling a specified number.

On Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, Bilirakis shared a message of goodwill, stating "Today, we celebrate renewal, hope, and the joy of new beginnings. May this special day fill your heart with peace, love, and gratitude." His message encouraged embracing the spirit of kindness.

Bilirakis, currently aged 60, was born in Gainesville, Florida, and he followed a path through the University of Florida and Stetson University before joining Congress. He succeeded his father, Michael Bilirakis, in 2007 and has since served in the U.S. Congress.
