Marilyn Strickland U.S. House of Representatives from Washington's 10th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Marilyn Strickland, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 10th district since 2021, has been active on social media addressing various issues. Strickland, who was born in Seoul, South Korea, and resides in Tacoma, succeeded Denny Heck in Congress. She holds degrees from the University of Washington and Clark Atlanta University.
On January 30, 2025, Strickland criticized former President Donald Trump for his response to a tragedy during his tenure. She stated: "Instead of leading, Trump blames DEI for this tragedy on his watch. Lazy, bigoted, shameful and beneath the office of POTUS. No empathy and no compassion from him."
The following day, on January 31, 2025, Strickland commemorated an important milestone in U.S. history by tweeting about Social Security's first check issued 85 years ago: "On this day 85 years ago, the first #SocialSecurity check was issued. There are over 140k people in the #SouthSound that rely on Social Security - @HouseDemocrats will continue fighting to protect it."
Later that same day, she commented on economic policies under Trump's administration: "Tariffs = higher prices for American households. Trump is hiking up the price on cars, gas, and groceries."
