Rep. Sharice Davids, who represents Kansas’ 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, recently highlighted her legislative priorities through a series of posts on social media. The tweets, published between September 2 and September 3, 2025, addressed issues related to mental health support, prescription drug affordability, and emergency response legislation.

On September 2, Davids posted about her commitment to mental health resources: “I’m working to ensure access to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — because no one should have to face a crisis alone.”

The following day, she commented on healthcare affordability measures: “No one should have to choose between affording their prescriptions and their groceries. That's why I voted to pass a law that caps insulin costs at $35 per month for Medicare recipients.” This statement references recent legislative efforts aimed at reducing out-of-pocket expenses for seniors who rely on insulin.

Later on September 3, Davids announced progress on bipartisan safety legislation: “Big win for safety! My bipartisan emergency response bills just passed @TransportDems. They would help modernize alert systems and give tribal governments the tools to respond quickly to disasters — protecting lives across the country.” These bills are designed to improve national disaster readiness by updating alert infrastructure and supporting tribal government responses.

Sharice Davids has served in Congress since replacing Kevin Yoder in 2019 as representative of Kansas’s 3rd District. Born in Frankfurt, West Germany in 1980 and currently residing in Roeland Park, Davids holds degrees from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (BA) and Cornell University (JD).
