Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland, representing Washington’s 10th District since 2021, has taken to social media to express her concerns and positions on current legislative matters. Strickland, who succeeded Denny Heck in Congress and resides in Tacoma, has been active in discussions surrounding government funding and community support.

On March 12, 2025, Strickland questioned the potential actions of Elon Musk regarding Social Security and civil service. She asked if Musk would be given “free rein to cut Social Security” and continue what she termed a “hostile take-over of civil service,” challenging others to either allow these actions or “grow a spine.” The full post can be accessed here.

Later that day, Strickland highlighted the stance of House Democrats on a four-week funding extension aimed at preventing harmful cuts while keeping the government operational. She emphasized her readiness to vote for a bipartisan extension at any time during the week. The tweet is available here.

On March 13, 2025, Strickland expressed gratitude towards South Sound cities for their visit to Washington D.C., where they discussed federal support for local communities. This meeting underscored the ongoing collaboration between federal and local governments. Her remarks can be found here.
