"Proud to join @RepRaulRuizMD and colleagues today outside HHS Headquarters as we called for the Senate to reject the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr."

Later on February 7, she addressed former President Trump's communication style in a tweet emphasizing resilience and commitment to serving her constituents despite any demeaning remarks from Trump. She stated: "Donald Trump is going to post... But we are going to fight for every constituent..." This reflects her determination to advocate for all areas within her district regardless of external challenges."Donald Trump is going to post."
