Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland has recently addressed several national policy issues in a series of tweets, focusing on environmental health, Medicaid, and federal support for public education.
On July 29, 2025, Strickland highlighted concerns over persistent chemical contamination: “PFAS are a serious issue for communities across the nation, including here in the #SouthSound. @AquaggaInc is fighting back, developing innovative ways to combat the spread of these toxic forever chemicals.”
The following day, she commented on Medicaid’s anniversary and current legislative challenges: “As we celebrate the 60th year that millions could depend on #Medicaid, let’s not forget that the @HouseGOP is actively taking it away. They gave @POTUS his Big Ugly Law.” This statement comes amid ongoing debates about changes to federal healthcare programs.
Later on July 30, Strickland criticized federal officials for withholding educational funding: “Every day, students and educators should feel supported by the federal government. Instead @EdSecMcMahon and @POTUS kept over $5B from public schools – only releasing these critical funds once we started asking questions. #SupportPublicEducation Read: https://t.co/8WQhLbGAof”
Marilyn Strickland was elected as a Republican to represent North Carolina’s 28th House district in 2017, succeeding James Langdon Jr.
