John Garamendi, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 8th district, has recently shared his thoughts on significant events through social media. His tweets reflect on historical figures, current political developments, and pressing societal issues.

On December 3, 2024, Garamendi commemorated the legacy of civil rights leader Cesar Chavez by noting that "54 years ago, civil rights leader Cesar Chavez was jailed for fighting for farmworkers' rights. May Chavez's commitment to justice, equality, and dignity for all continue to inspire generations to come."

The following day, December 4, 2024, he extended congratulations to Adam Gray on his election victory in California's 13th district: "Congratulations, @AdamGrayCA, on your election win #CA13! I look forward to working alongside you in Congress to deliver a brighter future for all Californians."

On December 5, 2024, Garamendi expressed his sorrow over a tragic school shooting: "I am deeply saddened to hear of the Feather River Adventist School shooting, killing two kindergartners. My heart aches for the victims and their families. Congress can’t sit idly and let this happen. We need to pass common-sense gun safety legislation now."
