Rep. Melanie Stansbury, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Mexico’s 1st district, has recently shared a series of tweets addressing various issues and events. Stansbury, who replaced Deb Haaland in 2021, has been vocal about her stance on national matters.
On November 23, 2024, Rep. Stansbury expressed her sorrow over the death of a fellow politician. "I am devastated to learn of the passing of U.S. Senator Fred Harris." The tweet included a link to her full statement regarding this loss.
The following day, November 24, she highlighted concerns regarding healthcare for veterans amidst anticipated policy changes by the upcoming administration. "Reminder: this includes healthcare for our veterans! Veterans deserve so much more than the upcoming Trump administration's disastrous plans."
Later that same day, Stansbury addressed immigration issues concerning New Mexico as a border state. She criticized proposed deportation plans by Donald Trump and vowed resistance against them. "New Mexico is a border state and we will fight Donald Trump and his efforts to conduct a mass deportation plan. It is illegal, it is inhuman, and we will fight him every step of the way."
