U.S. Representative Kathy Castor, serving Florida's 14th district since 2007, shared her perspectives on key issues through a series of tweets on January 22, 2025. The tweets addressed topics such as reproductive rights and legislative actions in Congress.

In a tweet posted at 21:17 UTC, Rep. Castor reflected on the historical significance of Roe v. Wade: "52 years ago, the Supreme Court made history with Roe v. Wade, recognizing a woman’s constitutional right to make decisions about her own body. In 2022, that fundamental right was taken away, allowing extremists like Gov. DeSantis & President Trump to undo decades of progress."

Shortly after, at 21:17 UTC, she emphasized ongoing efforts for reproductive rights in Florida: "Let me be clear: this fight is far from over, especially for Florida women. Together, we’ll continue demanding reproductive freedom for all so every person, no matter where they live has access to safe, legal abortion care."

Later that day at 22:10 UTC, Rep. Castor issued a statement concerning GOP legislation H.R. 29 and its opposition by various organizations: "Castor Statement on GOP Overreach on H.R. 29. The bill is strongly opposed by many organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), Children’s Defense Fund, and National Immigration Law Center."
