Golden State Today

Rep. Norma Torres, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 35th district since 2015, recently shared her views on several issues via social media posts. The congresswoman addressed topics ranging from immigration and federal worker rights to healthcare concerns.

On March 6, 2025, Rep. Torres expressed her perspective on naturalized citizens and their contributions to America in a tweet: "You're clutching your pearls over a naturalized citizen giving the response? I get it—it must be tough watching foreign-born Americans succeed, especially since WE ARE the American Dream—a country built by immigrants, for immigrants." She also made a critical reference to former President Donald Trump.

Later that day, at 20:10 UTC, she supported federal workers' rights in another post: "Enough is enough. I stood with incredible federal workers at the NTEU rally, demanding justice and an end to the Trump administration’s disgraceful attacks on federal funding. Workers deserve respect, not cuts and harmful policies." Rep. Torres emphasized her commitment to fighting back against what she perceives as harmful policies.

At 22:05 UTC on the same day, Rep. Torres addressed healthcare concerns related to policies of the Musk-Trump administration: "Thanks to the Musk-Trump admin, millions of Americans face losing health coverage! In CA-35: - 45% rely on Medi-Cal (339,369K people) This isn't just policy—it’s people’s health." Her statement highlighted the impact of these policies on her constituents' access to healthcare services.
