Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 7th district, recently shared her thoughts on several pressing issues through social media. Fletcher, who replaced former U.S. Congress member John Culberson in 2019, addressed topics ranging from political turmoil to reproductive rights and local media engagement.
On May 8, 2025, Fletcher commented on the political situation impacting her constituency: “The chaos in Washington is coming home to Houston. It’s important to know this is happening — and why. It doesn’t have to be this way.” This statement highlights her concern over national politics affecting local communities.
The following day, May 9, 2025, she reflected on a significant milestone in women’s rights: “65 years ago, the FDA approved the first birth control pill, setting in motion a revolution in the lives of women and families. Now, access to birth control—which most Americans support—is under attack. That’s why I’m fighting in Congress to pass the #RightToContraception Act.” Her remarks emphasize ongoing legislative efforts to protect contraceptive access amid growing challenges.
Later that morning on May 9th, Fletcher announced her participation with local media: “I’ll be joining the @HoustonPubMedia team at Hello Houston later this morning—tune in to the show on 88.7FM at 11 a.m!” This engagement underscores her commitment to staying connected with constituents through various platforms.
Lizzie Pannill Fletcher was born in Houston, Texas in 1975 and continues to reside there. She graduated from Kenyon College with a BA in 1997 and earned a JD from the College of William and Mary in 2006.
