Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland, representing Washington's 10th district since 2021, shared a series of tweets on March 25, 2025. The tweets cover topics ranging from local educational initiatives to national policy issues.

In her first tweet, Strickland expressed gratitude towards the students at Olympia High for inviting her to view their NASA prototypes ahead of their trip to NASA Johnson. She stated, "The #SouthSound is rooting for you, it's always good to see the #STEM talent we have at home."

Later that day, Strickland addressed gender pay equality in another tweet. She emphasized the importance of fair compensation by stating: "Equal pay for equal work - it's that simple. Women should be fairly compensated." This message was accompanied by hashtags #EqualPayDay and #ClosetheWageGap.

In a more critical post, Strickland commented on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's qualifications. She asserted that "@SecDef Hegseth was unqualified from the start" and described him as a national security risk who should be dismissed immediately.
