Rep. Nydia Velázquez, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New York's 7th district, has recently made a series of statements on social media addressing political and community issues. Velázquez, who succeeded Stephen Solarz in 1993, continues to engage with her constituents and broader public through various platforms.

On November 26, 2024, Rep. Velázquez addressed fellow Congresswoman Nancy Mace with a pointed remark regarding her political stance and motivations. In her post, she questioned Mace's values and intentions towards former President Trump: "Dear @RepNancyMace, Either you’re a fraud that has no values or you’re so desperate for Trump’s attention that you’re willing to say/do anything to get it. Which is it? Sincerely, Everyone".

The following day, November 27, 2024, Velázquez highlighted her collaboration with the Biden administration since 2021 to support Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and enhance capital access for underserved communities. She expressed enthusiasm over recent funding awarded to Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union: "Since 2021, I've worked with the Biden admin to empower CDFIs & increase capital access for underserved communities. Thrilled to see that @BrooklynCoopFCU received over $1 M in funding to grow their org & expand access to capital for working families & small biz in Brooklyn!".

On November 28, 2024, Rep. Velázquez extended holiday greetings via social media as she wished everyone a joyous Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and quality time with loved ones: "Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving full of gratitude, great food and time spent with loved ones."
