On July 6, 2025, Yakym expressed his condolences for a recent tragedy in Texas. "Sallyann and I are heartbroken by the recent tragedy in Texas. We’re praying for all those affected and peace for those facing unimaginable loss. We also lift up the first responders, rescue workers, and volunteers as they continue their courageous efforts."

The following day, July 7, he commented on the passage of significant legislation aimed at boosting American manufacturing. "The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill gives American manufacturers a powerful boost: Restoration of the Research and Development tax credit Accelerated depreciation of capital expenditures 'Made in America' manufacturing incentives."

Later that same day, Yakym commended law enforcement's response to a threat at the border. "I'm grateful for the swift response by Border Patrol and local police in neutralizing the threat. Shame on those constantly demonizing the brave men and women of @CBP who risk their lives every day to protect our nation."
