Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 34th district, has shared his views on several key issues through recent social media posts. Gomez, who succeeded Xavier Becerra in 2017 and previously served in the California State Assembly, expressed his stance on Social Security benefits, trade wars, and consumer demographics for electric vehicles.

On March 11, 2025, Rep. Jimmy Gomez emphasized the nature of Social Security payments made by Americans throughout their lives. He stated: "Americans spend their whole lives paying for Social Security with each and every paycheck. They’re not entitlements. They’re EARNED benefits."

Later that day, Gomez addressed the repercussions of initiating trade conflicts with allied nations. He remarked: "One problem with starting trade wars is eventually the other side shoots back. Even if they are your allies."

In another post from March 11, 2025, Rep. Gomez questioned the target market for Tesla vehicles amidst discussions on energy policies. He commented: "Who does he think buys @Tesla cars? It’s not the 'drill, baby, drill' crowd."
