Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, currently serving as a U.S. Congresswoman representing Texas’ 7th district, shared her thoughts on various topics through a series of tweets.

She tweeted: "Wishing a happy #Holi to all who celebrate in #TX07, the greater Houston area, and across the country.

In another tweet posted on March 14, 2025, Rep. Fletcher commented on staffing changes within the Social Security Administration. She remarked: "It’s good to ask questions about how we can do things better. But firing the people who pick up the phones at the Social Security Administration is not the answer. Reporting on it, talking about it, and saying no to it matters."
