Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, representing Massachusetts' 7th district, has made several statements via social media concerning healthcare reforms, mass incarceration, and leadership within the U.S. Congress. Her remarks reflect her ongoing legislative focus and advocacy efforts.
On December 5, 2024, Congresswoman Pressley acknowledged the efforts of President Biden and Vice President Harris in making healthcare more affordable for seniors. She stated: "Thanks to @POTUS and @VP, Medicare is lowering Rx drug costs for seniors across the #MA7. The new $2,000/yr cap on out-of-pocket Rx drug costs will help seniors breathe easier." She encouraged constituents to review their plans before the open enrollment period ends on December 7.
On December 6, 2024, she addressed the issue of mass incarceration in a tweet directed at President Biden: ".@POTUS must use his clemency power to address mass incarceration and reunite families. This is a matter of doing the right thing, and it's a matter of legacy."
In a statement made on December 7, 2024, Pressley congratulated Representative Greg Casar on his new role as chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus: ".@RepCasar is an organizer, advocate, and activist leader who has never lost sight of the people. His bold leadership and commitment to progress will be instrumental in the next Congress."
