Rep. Steve Womack, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Arkansas’ 3rd district since 2011, recently shared updates on his activities and engagements via social media. Born in Russellville, Arkansas in 1957, Womack now resides in Rogers and holds a BA from Arkansas Tech University.

On May 14, 2025, Rep. Womack expressed gratitude to President Biden for approving disaster aid for Arkansas following severe storms and tornadoes that occurred in March. He emphasized the importance of this support for families and businesses rebuilding across the state. “Thank you @POTUS for approving critical disaster aid for Arkansas following the devastating March storms and tornadoes. This support is essential as families and businesses across our state continue to rebuild.”

Later that day, Rep. Womack announced his leadership role at a hearing of the House Appropriations Committee’s Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Subcommittee with Secretary Duffy of the U.S. Department of Transportation regarding their fiscal year 2026 budget request. He invited followers to join the live session through a provided link: “LIVE NOW: I’m leading the @HouseAppropsGOP Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Subcommittee hearing with @USDOT @SecDuffy about their FY2026 budget request”

In another post on May 14th, Rep. Womack highlighted a poignant moment during the same subcommittee hearing where Tim and Sheri Lilley attended as guests. They are parents of First Officer Sam Lilley from Flight 5342 involved in a tragic collision at DCA airport. The Lilleys have been advocating for aviation safety improvements since then: “Today at the @HouseAppropsGOP THUD Subcommittee hearing, we were joined by Tim and Sheri Lilley, parents of Flight 5342’s First Officer Sam Lilley.”
