NYC Gazette

Representative Nydia Velázquez, serving New York's 7th district since 1993, has been actively expressing her positions on social media recently. Her posts reflect her commitment to advocating for working families and New Yorkers' access to essential services, while also sharing moments of cultural significance.

On March 29, 2025, Representative Velázquez criticized a recent Senate vote, conveying her opposition to the decision. She declared, "This week, the Senate voted to let Wall Street raise overdraft fees on Americans, funneling more money from working families to Big Banks. The House votes on the same measure next week. I’m voting no. Any Republican who claims to care about working people must do the same."

In a subsequent post on March 30, 2025, she addressed a significant federal funding cut. She stated, "The Trump admin just pulled $400 million in health funding from New York. Less disease response, less addiction and mental health care. They know this will make New Yorkers sicker, and they did it anyway."

Finally, on March 31, 2025, Representative Velázquez extended her good wishes to those celebrating a religious holiday, writing, "Eid Mubarak to all celebrating in NYC and around the world! Wishing you peace, joy, and time with loved ones as you mark the end of Ramadan."
