Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Mexico, posted a series of tweets on October 14, 2025, highlighting her return to Washington, D.C., her focus on healthcare costs, and the ongoing government shutdown.
In a tweet posted at 19:42 UTC, Rep. Leger Fernández wrote: "Headed back to D.C.
Democrats are showing up to lower health care costs and reopen the government. Bringing a little bit of New Mexico love—and Whoo’s Donuts—for our TSA workers."
Later that evening, at 20:58 UTC, she posted: "Has anyone checked Cancún?!"
At 21:10 UTC, Rep. Leger Fernández shared a story about a constituent named Jeff: "Jeff, a small business owner and father of three, relies on healthcare tax credits to keep his family covered. Without them, his premiums will eat up half of his income — double the price of his mortgage.
His son’s spinal surgery was only possible because of this coverage. No"
Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández has represented New Mexico in Congress since 2021. She has won several elections in recent years: in 2024, she defeated Sharon Clahchischilliage; in both 2022 and 2020, she won against Alexis Martinez Johnson.
