Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland, representing Washington's 10th district since 2021, has addressed various issues through her social media platform. Her recent posts highlight concerns about severe weather conditions, the need for improved care for veterans, and support for leadership within the House Democrats.

On November 19, 2024, Strickland warned about impending extreme weather conditions. She stated, "This storm will produce high winds, flash floods, and may create hazardous travel conditions and power outages." She emphasized the importance of preparation against such extreme weather.

Later that day, she turned her attention to veterans' healthcare needs. In a post at 20:41 UTC on November 19, she expressed her advocacy for timely care improvements by stating: "More must be done to provide timely, effective care to our veteran community. I led a bipartisan letter to the VA - urging improvements to their scheduling system for mental health appointments."

The following day on November 20, Strickland showed support for Democratic leadership in Congress. She tweeted at 15:07 UTC: ".@HouseDemocrats will always deliver for the American people and put people over politics. @RepJeffries is the right choice to lead us."
