Eric Burlison (MO-07) and Jared Moskowitz (FL-23) today announced the launch of the bipartisan Congressional Firework Caucus, dedicated to supporting the U.S. fireworks industry and preserving the longstanding tradition of fireworks as part of America's heritage. "As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, it's the perfect time to recognize a tradition that has been part of our nation's story since the beginning," said Rep. Burlison. "Fireworks bring Americans together every Fourth of July, support small businesses across the country, and remind us that freedom is worth celebrating." "Everyone loves a firework celebration. They bring people together and bring joy to millions across America. Fireworks have been part of how Americans celebrate our country's biggest moments for generations, and America250 should be no different,” said Rep. Moskowitz. Coinciding with the launch of the Congressional Firework Caucus, Rep. Burlison introduced a House resolution recognizing July as National Fireworks Month in celebration of America's 250th birthday. The resolution highlights the historic role fireworks have played in Independence Day celebrations and encourages communities across the country to commemorate the nation's semiquincentennial. Organization Support Stacy Schneitter-Blake, President, National Fireworks Foundation “On behalf of the National Fireworks Association, the industry’s largest trade association, we extend our sincere appreciation to Congressman Eric Burlison and Congressman Jared Moskowitz for serving as the founding co-chairs of the bipartisan Fireworks Caucus. Their leadership demonstrates an understanding of the important role fireworks play in our nation's celebrations, economy, and heritage. The Congressional Fireworks Caucus will serve as a dedicated forum for members of Congress to learn about the fireworks industry, the businesses, and families it supports, and the important role fireworks continue to play in America's traditions and celebrations.” Julie L. Heckman, Executive Director, American Pyrotechnics Association "The American Pyrotechnics Association applauds Congressmen Eric Burlison and Jared Moskowitz for launching the bipartisan Congressional Fireworks Caucus and recognizing the important role the fireworks industry plays in communities across the nation. Fireworks are a cherished part of America's heritage, bringing families and communities together to celebrate our nation's most meaningful traditions and milestones. The formation of this bipartisan caucus reflects what fireworks have always represented—bringing Americans together in celebration of our shared history, our local communities, and the enduring spirit that has defined our nation for 250 years. The Congressional Fireworks Caucus will provide Members of Congress with an opportunity to learn more about an industry that supports thousands of American jobs, contributes significantly to local economies, and remains deeply committed to safety through education, training, and collaboration with public safety professionals. We look forward to working with Congressmen Burlison, Moskowitz, and Members of the caucus to promote policies that support responsible fireworks use, strengthen American businesses, and preserve the longstanding traditions that make fireworks an enduring part of our nation's celebrations." | 1 | 2026-07-03T08:00:00Z | 2026-07-03T08:01:30Z |
