Representative Sharice Davids, serving Kansas' 3rd district in the U.S. Congress since 2019, shared a series of tweets addressing recent legislative actions and policy concerns. The congresswoman, who hails originally from Frankfurt, Germany, and holds degrees from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Cornell University, frequently advocates for government effectiveness, healthcare reforms, and protecting American industry and workers.

On April 1, 2025, Representative Davids expressed her concerns over government efficiency, emphasizing the importance of maintaining essential federal programs and employment. In a tweet she stated, "I’m all for making government work better — but not by gutting essential programs and firing federal workers. Elon Musk’s DOGE is playing fast and loose, and hardworking KS families shouldn’t pay the price."

On April 2, 2025, Davids highlighted her role in advancing healthcare legislation focused on protecting patients from unforeseen expenses. In another tweet, she remarked, "I helped pass bipartisan legislation to protect folks from surprise medical bills — because no one should get stuck with unexpected costs after a hospital visit. Proud to stand up for patients and bring commonsense solutions to health care."

Later that same day, Davids addressed her commitment to ensuring trade agreements bolster domestic industries while safeguarding jobs and small business interests. In a tweet, she reaffirmed her policy approach, stating, "I’m focused on pursuing smart trade agreements that strengthen American industries without putting jobs and small businesses at risk."
