Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland addressed several issues related to military policy and oversight in a series of tweets on July 15, 2025. Her statements focused on the preservation of Army museums, healthcare navigation for servicemembers, and accountability within defense leadership.
On July 15, 2025, Strickland criticized the Secretary of the Army’s plans regarding military museums, stating “.@SecArmy is angling to gut Army Museums across the nation, including the Lewis Museum at @JBLM_PAO. History can’t be erased – glad that my amendment to stop this was secured, and that @HASCDemocrats can continue to fight this.”
Later that day, she addressed concerns about access to healthcare for military personnel. In her tweet from July 15, 2025, Strickland wrote “No one should worry about delays, website crashes, or limited options when navigating healthcare, especially those who serve. @HASCDemocrats just secured another win for our servicemembers by demanding a status report for those using TRICARE.”
In another post dated July 15, 2025, Strickland called out House Armed Services Committee Republicans over defense leadership accountability. She stated “.@HASCRepublicans still refuse to hold @SecDef Hegseth accountable for Signal. He risked our national security. This is what happens when unqualified people lead.”
The Lewis Museum mentioned by Congresswoman Strickland refers to the Lewis Army Museum located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington state.
