Sharice Davids, serving in the U.S. Congress for Kansas' 3rd district since 2019, shared thoughts on a range of topics affecting her constituents via social media on April 27 and 28. Her posts reflect a focus on economic development, healthcare, and agricultural policy.

On April 27, Rep. Davids highlighted the importance of local manufacturing by stating, "When local manufacturers thrive, it means stronger supply chains and more good-paying jobs here at home." This tweet underscores her commitment to supporting manufacturing sectors within her constituency for broader economic benefits.

Later the same day, she expressed concerns about potential Medicaid cuts: "Cuts to Medicaid put health care for thousands of #KS03 families on the line — especially seniors and kids. I’m standing firm to protect and expand Medicaid so every Kansan can get the care they need." Her statement indicates an ongoing advocacy for healthcare accessibility, particularly for vulnerable populations, such as seniors and children in her district.

On April 28, Rep. Davids reported on her Farm Bill Listening Tour: "On my Farm Bill Listening Tour, one thing is clear: Kansas growers want certainty, not chaos. I'm working to continue the tradition of passing a common-sense, bipartisan Farm Bill." Her commitment to engaging with local agricultural communities and fostering bipartisan support for farm legislation is evident in this communication.

Sharice Davids, born in Frankfurt, West Germany in 1980, is currently 42 and resides in Roeland Park. She has an educational background with a BA from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and a JD from Cornell University.
