Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, posted several statements on her official X account on September 10, 2025, addressing healthcare policy, the gender pay gap, and recent violence in Utah and Colorado.
In a post from September 10 at 12:27 UTC, Leger Fernández criticized Republican lawmakers for their stance on healthcare coverage under the Affordable Care Act. She wrote, "Translation: Republicans voted to raise premiums and kick 4.2 million Americans off the Affordable Care Act, and they meant it. Remember, higher premium notices go out in November. This is solely on Republicans. Democrats are not backing down from the fight to restore https://t.co/n2a4bQr9M8 https://t.co/HJNE0DgRTJ".
Later that day at 15:43 UTC, she commented on economic inequality, stating "For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap is widening — just another sign our country is moving in the wrong direction. We should be moving forward, not backward."
On September 10 at 20:12 UTC, Leger Fernández responded to reports of violence in Utah and Colorado by posting "The news out of Utah and Colorado are heartbreaking. Gun violence and political violence have no place in America."
Leger Fernández has served as a U.S. Representative since winning her first election in 2020 against Alexis Martinez Johnson with 58.7% of the vote to Johnson's 41.3%. She was re-elected in 2022 with a similar margin against Martinez Johnson (58.2% to 41.8%) and again in 2024 after defeating Sharon Clahchischilliage (41.8% to Clahchischilliage's 43.7%). Her recent posts reflect ongoing national debates over healthcare access, wage equality, and public safety.
