Before holding public office, he was a United States Air Force officer, rising to brigadier general and wing commander at Ramstein Air Base and Offutt Air Force Base before his retirement in 2014. Bacon is frequently described as a moderate centrist within the Republican Party. As of 2021, he ranks 12th in bipartisanship among Members of Congress according to Georgetown University's Lugar Center. Bacon was one of one of 37 Republicans who rejected attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and one of 35 who supported the January 6 Committee. He was an original sponsor of the Naming Commission, which stripped the Department of Defense of names valorizing the Confederacy, and of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, which established lynching as a unique hate crime, and voted to enact the Respect for Marriage Act, which codified the right to same-sex marriage in federal law. An active voice on foreign policy in the House, Bacon is sanctioned by the Russian government, and was the first member of Congress to be hacked by the Chinese government.
