Rep. Melanie Stansbury, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Mexico's 1st district, has recently shared her views on various political issues through a series of tweets. Her posts reflect her engagement with state legislative activities and national concerns affecting New Mexicans.

On January 31, 2025, Rep. Stansbury expressed gratitude for being home in New Mexico and working alongside local leaders. She stated: "New Mexico: the State Legislature is in full swing! Grateful to be home with our change makers and dragon slayers fighting the good fight here at home. And grateful to have the opportunity to work alongside our amazing state, tribal and local leaders in the fight!"

Later that day, she highlighted the historical significance of Social Security and its current challenges under the Trump Administration. She tweeted: "85 years ago, the first Social Security check was issued. Social Security has been a lifeline for many New Mexicans, but that is on the chopping block in the Trump Administration. I will fight back to ensure that every senior in NM has the security they need and deserve."

On February 1, 2025, Rep. Stansbury addressed concerns about political influence by wealthy individuals following Citizens United. She asserted: "Thanks to Citizens United, America is being taken over by billionaires who are disrupting every aspect of American life. We must fight back!"
