Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland has recently addressed several issues on her official Twitter account, ranging from military policy to labor concerns and cultural events.
On July 26, 2025, Strickland expressed concern about potential changes to U.S. military base names, stating, “For 77 years, segregation has not existed in our Armed Forces. But @SecDef, @POTUS, and @HouseGOP are looking for ways to push our country backwards – including renaming military bases after Confederate leaders. We can’t go back. I refuse.

Later that day, Strickland criticized the administration’s trade policies and highlighted her engagement with labor leaders: “.@POTUS’ tariffs are dangerous, especially for our longshore workers. This week, I met with @ilwulongshore President Bobby Olvera Jr. to discuss ways that the federal government can continue protecting and supporting this crucial industry. https://t.co/diwhkiBHR3”.
On July 27, 2025, she thanked a local organization for promoting cultural diversity: “Thank you, @apcc96, for hosting your annual Tanoa Festival and for supporting Samoan culture and AANHPI diversity found in the #SouthSound. https://t.co/HHqmPAAIMX”.
Marilyn Strickland was elected to the North Carolina State House in 2017 to represent the state’s 28th House district after succeeding James Langdon, Jr.
