Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Florida's 20th district, recently shared her thoughts on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. Her posts reflect her advocacy for women's rights, healthcare security, and veterans' welfare.

On March 8, 2025, Cherfilus-McCormick marked International Women's Day by celebrating the contributions of women globally. She emphasized their strength and resilience in overcoming barriers while managing multiple roles. "On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the strength and resilience of women all over the world. Together, we continue to break barriers and constantly push for progress — all while raising families, managing careers, and bettering ourselves."

Later that day, she addressed concerns about potential cuts to essential programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Highlighting feedback from constituents in Florida's 20th district, she invited others to share how these changes might affect them. "#FL20 residents rely on Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and other lifelines. I’ve heard from so many constituents on how proposed cuts would impact them."

In another tweet posted on the same day, Cherfilus-McCormick criticized proposed reductions to the Toxic Exposures Fund affecting veterans exposed to burn pits. She called such actions immoral and stressed the importance of fulfilling commitments to service members. "Leaving our veterans who were exposed to burn pits high and dry by cutting the Toxic Exposures Fund is immoral."
