Rep. Lucy McBath, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Georgia's 7th district since 2019, has recently addressed significant concerns via social media. In her tweets, she discusses public health and food security issues impacting her constituents and beyond.

On February 18, 2025, Rep. McBath expressed her concern about the current state of public health infrastructure in the United States. She stated, "The CDC is a vital part of our nation's preparedness and is the foundation of our ability to fight pandemics and develop treatments." She criticized the Trump Administration's actions regarding "mass firings of dedicated public health workers in metro Atlanta and removal of tracking information," which she believes threaten national preparedness.

In another tweet on the same day, Rep. McBath highlighted issues surrounding food insecurity and criticized local governance. She remarked that during times of uncertainty, families should be assured they can afford meals during summer breaks. Her tweet stated: "At a time of uncertainty and food insecurity, our families deserve to know they can afford meals during summer break." She accused the Governor of letting Georgia miss out on federal funding for feeding children, describing it as "cruel and indefensible."
