Representative Jimmy Gomez, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for California's 34th district, has expressed concerns and announcements through a series of tweets on March 9, 2025. These tweets address significant issues including housing security, economic policies, and opportunities for young artists.

On March 9, 2025, Gomez criticized proposed reductions to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), stating that "Gutting HUD means gutting housing security." He emphasized that cutting half the workforce could lead millions toward eviction and urged former President Trump and DOGE to halt these layoffs to prevent exacerbating the housing crisis.

Later that day, Gomez addressed economic concerns related to tariffs imposed by Trump. In his tweet at 18:16:55 UTC, he remarked that "Trump’s dumb tariffs are going to drag us into a recession." He highlighted declining GDP, consumer confidence, and stock market performance as indicators of potential economic downturns reminiscent of past experiences.

In another tweet posted at 21:24:26 UTC on the same day, Gomez announced an opportunity for high school students in his district. He invited submissions for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition until April 18th. Gomez described it as an "incredible opportunity to get your artwork displayed in the Capitol."
