Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland used her Twitter account in early January 2026 to highlight legislative developments on health care tax credits and announce a new educational initiative for students.
On January 8, Strickland wrote, “.@HouseDemocrats have stood strong in our fight to protect health care. The @HouseGOP can’t say the same.
