Rep. Ron Estes, who represents Kansas’ 4th district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared updates on his legislative and community activities through a series of posts on social media.

On September 22, 2025, Estes announced his new role as co-chair of the Musicians Caucus alongside Rep. Lloyd Doggett. He wrote, "The presence of music has been a part of our great American history for almost 250 years. I'm happy to join my colleague @RepLloydDoggett as the co-chair of the @MusiciansCaucus. We will explore the ways to support creators and boost music in Americans' daily lives."

Later that day, Estes highlighted an honor he received at a major aviation event held in Wichita. On September 22, he posted, "It was an honor to be recognized as a recipient of the National Aviation Hall of Fame’s Congressional Leadership Award. This year's @NAHF ceremony was held in Wichita – the Air Capital of the World! "

Continuing his focus on aviation and policy matters, Estes described participating in an industry event with other lawmakers on September 23: "Last week I joined my colleagues @RepTroyNehls and @RepDavids at @AeroClubDC's breakfast. I shared my thoughts on the aviation industry, the beneficial provisions in the Working Families Tax Cut package, tariffs, and more. It was great to see everyone!"
