Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 7th district, has been vocal about her opposition to a significant legislative proposal. Elected in 2019, she succeeded John Culberson and continues to represent her Houston constituency.
On July 2, 2025, Rep. Fletcher tweeted “Standing on the steps in opposition to the big, ugly bill.” This statement indicates her disapproval of a bill she describes as “big” and “ugly.”
Later that day, at 16:42 UTC, Fletcher expanded on her position with another tweet: “Back in Washington standing with my Democratic colleagues in opposition to the big, ugly bill, which the Senate made even worse. We only need four Republicans to stand with us to defeat the bill.” This message highlights her efforts alongside fellow Democrats to garner bipartisan support against the legislation.
At 17:07 UTC on the same day, Fletcher mentioned her collaboration with Rep. Jamie Raskin by tweeting “This morning, I helped my friend @RepRaskin as he crafted this preamble for the Republican budget bill that makes clear what a contrast this bill is with our Constitution and what should be our guiding principles and highest ideals in Congress “ Her involvement emphasizes a commitment to aligning legislative efforts with constitutional values and principles.
Fletcher was born in Houston 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.
