U.S. Representative Nanette D. Barragán, who has represented California’s 44th district since 2017, marked Día de los Muertos and the start of health insurance open enrollment in a series of posts on November 1, 2025.
In her first message posted at 20:27 UTC, Barragán wrote: “From #HarborGateway to #Lynwood, the #CA44 community celebrates #DíadelosMuertos though ofrendas full of love, color, and remembrance for our loved ones who’ve passed. This beautiful tradition is a reminder that our strength and growth comes from those who came before us and https://t.co/DV1PeefoLF”.
Shortly after, she reiterated the sentiment in Spanish at 20:27 UTC: “Desde #HarborGateway hasta #Lynwood, la comunidad #CA44 celebra #DíadelosMuertos con ofrendas llenas de amor, color y recuerdos de nuestros seres queridos que han fallecido. Esta hermosa tradición nos recuerda de que nuestra fortaleza y crecimiento proviene de quienes nos”.
Later that evening at 23:11 UTC, Barragán addressed healthcare access: “OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR 2026 HEALTH INSURANCE STARTS TODAY Please be aware that your insurance costs may be higher because of a health care crisis brought to you by Congressional Republicans. To find the plan that best fits your needs and budget, visit https://t.co/f8EPBuI0x1. https://t.co/6cawdcSJVc”.
Barragán was born in Los Angeles in 1976 and continues to reside there. She earned her undergraduate degree from UCLA in 2000 and a law degree from USC in 2005. Before entering Congress in 2017—replacing Janice Hahn—she built her career as an attorney and advocate for local issues.
Her posts reflect ongoing engagement with cultural traditions important to her district as well as current policy matters such as healthcare enrollment.
