Rep. Melanie Stansbury, who represents New Mexico’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, shared her views on various topics through a series of tweets on February 17, 2025. The congresswoman addressed issues ranging from political representation to civic engagement and community outreach.

On February 17, 2025, Rep. Stansbury expressed her concerns about political representation by stating: "When the VP and Elon Musk speak for right wing parties, politics, and autocrats—they do not speak for America. We are still a Democracy and continue to stand with our allies across the world."

Later that day, she acknowledged President's Day by encouraging reflection on national principles: "As we celebrate President’s Day today, let us lean into the principles on which this great nation was founded and continue the fight to build a more perfect union!"

In another tweet posted on February 17, 2025, Rep. Stansbury invited constituents to an upcoming town hall meeting: "I know many of you still have so many unanswered questions and want to talk about your concerns about what’s happening in D.C. That’s why I’m holding a Town Hall in Albuquerque on Thursday! Please join us!"
