Rep. Melanie Stansbury, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Mexico's 1st district, has been active on social media discussing her legislative initiatives and endorsements. Her recent tweets highlight her commitment to environmental justice and her political aspirations within the House Natural Resources Committee.

On December 5, 2024, Rep. Stansbury announced the introduction of the National Resilience and Recovery Fund Act. She stated, "It's time communities harmed by corporate pollution have funds to recover! I introduced the National Resilience and Recovery Fund Act to close tax loopholes for corporate polluters. Those responsible for the climate crisis and its impacts must be responsible for the harm done."

Later that day, she expressed gratitude for a significant endorsement related to her candidacy for a leadership position within a key congressional committee. On December 5, 2024, she tweeted, "As I continue to have productive conversations with Democrats, I am deeply proud to have this endorsement from @RepRaulGrijalva for Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee."

The following day, on December 6, 2024, Rep. Stansbury shared her appreciation for another endorsement from an influential figure in Congress. She posted on Twitter: "I'm deeply honored and humbled by this endorsement from the current Ranking Member, whose historic tenure has kept Tribes, climate, and environmental justice at the forefront of our work. I'm so proud and honored to represent New Mexico on this committee and in Congress."
