Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, posted a series of statements on September 29, 2025, addressing government funding, healthcare access, and party leadership in Washington.
In her first post that day, Leger Fernández wrote: "I’m back in D.C. ready to fight for you — to keep the government open, protect affordable healthcare, and stand with federal workers. Republicans must find the courage to do the same." (September 29, 2025).
Later that afternoon she shared another message: "HAPPENING TODAY:" (September 29, 2025), accompanied by a link.
By evening, Leger Fernández commented on congressional control and governance: "Republicans have control of the House, the Senate, and the White House. They’re failing Americans—they can’t govern and won’t stand up for your healthcare." (September 29, 2025).
Leger Fernández has represented New Mexico in Congress since her election victory in 2020. She defeated Alexis Martinez Johnson that year with nearly 59% of the vote compared to Johnson's roughly 41%. In subsequent elections—2022 against Alexis Martinez Johnson again and in 2024 against Sharon Clahchischilliage—she retained her seat by similar margins.
Her recent posts come as debates continue over government funding deadlines and health care policy at the federal level.
