Nanette D. Barragán, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 44th district since 2017, has recently voiced criticism of former President Donald Trump and his policies in a series of social media posts.
On April 13, 2026, Barragán commented on the relationship between the Pope and Catholic values while criticizing Donald Trump: “The Pope reflects the values of the Catholic Church and teachings drawn from the Bible.

Later that day, she addressed economic concerns linked to Trump’s trade and foreign policy decisions: “Across our district, I heard the same concern from business owners and families alike: Trump’s tariffs and war on Iran are driving up costs on goods and gas that Americans can’t afford. When businesses pay more, families pay more — plain and simple. @HouseDemocrats are pushing https://t.co/tLeHb3yfPZ”.
On April 14, 2026, Barragán reiterated her stance regarding economic pressures faced by constituents: “Over and over again, hardworking people in my district tell me: costs are too high right now. Trump’s reckless war on Iran and his tariffs are a tax on our working families and a drain on their wallets. @HouseDemocrats want to bring down the cost of groceries, gas, and health https://t.co/oCDpdLlYsE”.
Barragán is known for her advocacy within Congress for issues affecting working families in her Los Angeles-based district. She was born in Los Angeles in 1976, graduated from UCLA with a BA in 2000, earned her JD from USC in 2005, and succeeded Janice Hahn as representative in 2017.
