Rep. Norma Torres, serving in the U.S. Congress for California's 35th district since 2015, has used her Twitter platform to address issues related to healthcare, workers' rights, and policies affecting vulnerable populations. Born in Escuintla, Guatemala, and residing in Pomona, Torres has been a vocal advocate on various social matters.
On March 31, 2025, Torres reminded her constituents that it was the "final day to enroll in Medicare," emphasizing the importance of healthcare access, especially for seniors in San Bernardino and Los Angeles County. Her call to action stressed the necessity for everyone to have quality healthcare coverage.
Later that same day, Torres commemorated "César Chávez, a tireless advocate for workers' rights". She paid tribute to his leadership in the farmworker movement and underscored the ongoing struggle for fair wages, safe working conditions, and union rights.
On April 1, 2025, Torres criticized the previous administration's policy in a tweet stating, "The Trump Admin’s decision to strip legal aid from unaccompanied children is a cruel, calculated attack." She pledged to continue her advocacy for bipartisan solutions to protect vulnerable children seeking refuge in the U.S.
