His tweets highlighted key moments surrounding the Fourth of July celebrations and provided historical insights into American traditions.
On July 3, 2025, Crenshaw remarked on a recent legislative success, stating “Most American thing of all time — preventing a $4 trillion tax hike just in time for the 4th of July.” This comment underscores his focus on economic policy and its alignment with national celebrations.
The following day, July 4, 2025, Crenshaw expressed his patriotic sentiments by acknowledging the country’s unique attributes. He tweeted “It’s a privilege to live in the greatest country on earth. Freedom, opportunity, and the promise of America remain unmatched anywhere else in the world. Happy Independence Day “ highlighting his appreciation for American values and opportunities.
Later that same day, he shared an educational perspective on fireworks’ history with a tweet stating “Fireworks go back over 2,000 years to ancient China… By the 13th century, they spread to Europe. Kings and emperors used them to show off power.” This post reflects Crenshaw’s interest in sharing knowledge about historical customs related to Independence Day celebrations.
Crenshaw has served as a member of Congress since succeeding Ted Poe in 2019. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1984 and now residing in Humble at age 39, he graduated from Tufts University with a BA in 2006.
