Rep. Gerry Connolly, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Virginia’s 11th District since 2009, recently shared a series of tweets addressing current political issues and events. Connolly, a Massachusetts native with a long-standing political career, continues to engage with his constituents through various platforms.
On February 20, 2025, Connolly announced an upcoming town hall event hosted by Democracy Forward. He invited the public to participate, stating: “Looking forward to tonight’s town hall with @DemocracyFwd. Tune it at 9pm!”
In another tweet dated February 21, 2025, Connolly addressed conflicting statements regarding Elon Musk’s employment status with DOGE. He highlighted the discrepancy between White House officials and Donald Trump’s claims by saying: “White House officials say Elon Musk is not a DOGE employee. Donald Trump himself says the opposite.” He further stated that someone was lying and that the Oversight Democrats intended to investigate.
Later on February 21, Connolly expressed concern over actions taken by billionaires following discussions at Mar-a-Lago that prioritize tax cuts for the wealthy over essential services provided by USPS. He tweeted: “Two billionaires are following through on their plot… Millions of Americans rely on USPS every day…” This comment underscores his advocacy for protecting services vital to everyday Americans.
