Rick Larsen, a U.S. Congressman representing Washington’s 2nd district, shared several tweets on January 29, 2025, discussing cultural celebrations and political issues. The tweets reflect his engagement with both the cultural aspects of his constituency and critical policy matters affecting the region.
On January 29, 2025, Rep. Rick Larsen tweeted a celebratory message for the Lunar New Year: “Happy #LunarNewYear! 新年快乐! 새해복 많이 받으세요! Chúc mừng năm mới! #YearOfTheSnake”.
Later that day, he addressed concerns about federal funding for infrastructure projects. He noted that while the administration had rescinded a “reckless federal funding freeze,” it did not reverse an executive order affecting such projects. In his tweet, Larsen stated: “Although the Administration rescinded its reckless federal funding freeze, it did not rescind its Executive Order to freeze funding for infrastructure projects – projects that create jobs & keep Northwest Washington moving.”
In another tweet on the same day, Rep. Larsen expressed concerns about the impact of reduced federal funding on essential services in his district. He wrote: “Clawing back federal funding has real consequences for the people I represent. It means taking away seniors’ Meals on Wheels. It means taking away health care for kids. It means taking away support for mental health & suicide prevention initiatives that save lives.”
