Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a U.S. Congress member representing California's 34th district, has been vocal on various issues through his social media presence. Known for his advocacy on workers' rights and education, Gomez shares personal anecdotes and political insights to engage with the public.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Gomez tweeted about his personal experience as the son of immigrants and the challenges faced by working families without health insurance. He stated: "As the son of immigrants, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles of working families, like getting sick with pneumonia without health insurance when I was 7, which nearly bankrupted us. That's why I joined my colleagues in reintroducing the PRO Act—to ensure better wages and benefits."

The following day, March 6, he commented on economic trends in a tweet: "Okay, my prediction was a day late. But unfortunately, I was right. The Trump Slump continues." This reflects his perspective on current economic conditions under former President Trump's influence.

Later that same day, Rep. Gomez addressed educational policy changes involving prominent figures: "No longer a talking point, Trump and Elon’s DOGE are moving forward with their plans to dissolve the Department of Education. This would cut $1.2 billion from @LASchools alone. Our students and teachers deserve better." His remarks highlight concerns over proposed budget cuts affecting local schools.
