U.S. Representative Kathy Castor, who has been serving Florida’s 14th district since 2007, shared her views on recent political developments and a local loss through social media posts. Castor, born in Miami and residing in Tampa, is known for her active role in Congress following her tenure in the Florida House of Representatives.
On June 9, 2025, Rep. Castor expressed concern over the current administration’s policy proposals. She stated “Don’t let the Trump Administration’s chaos distract you from what they are trying to pass into law: A budget that takes away health care for 16 million Americans, raises your electric bill and halts our manufacturing boom.” This tweet highlights her opposition to the proposed budget changes.
The following day, June 10, 2025, Rep. Castor issued a statement regarding the passing of Councilwoman Gwendolyn Henderson. She announced “U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor Statement on the Passing of Councilwoman Gwendolyn Henderson: https://t.co/WWo8laQHzO”, acknowledging Henderson’s contributions to their community.
In another post on June 10, she reflected on Henderson’s impact by stating “Tampa has lost a beloved neighbor and tireless advocate. My thoughts are with her daughter Ariel, her family, her friends and the neighbors she served so faithfully.” Castor emphasized that “May Gwen’s memory be a call to continue the work she so proudly led.”
