Nanette D. Barragán, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 44th district since 2017, recently shared her views on various matters through a series of tweets. Born in Los Angeles in 1976, Barragán has been an active voice in politics and public service. Her education includes a BA from UCLA and a JD from USC.
On March 26, 2025, Barragán addressed national security concerns with a direct message: "It’s pretty simple — just don’t post top secret war plans on an unprotected messaging app." She expressed support for Leader Rep. Jeffries' call for the dismissal of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth due to actions perceived as endangering U.S. security.
Later that day, Barragán thanked LAUSD Superintendent Carvalho for his visit and acknowledged his commitment to education amidst financial challenges posed by federal cuts. She stated: "Thank you @LAUSDSup Carvalho for visiting yesterday! Your dedication to protecting our education system is invaluable..."
In another tweet on the same day, Barragán reflected on attending the memorial service for her friend Rep. Grijalva. She remarked on his lasting impact: "Today, we celebrated the life of my dear friend Rep. Grijalva during his memorial service." She appreciated the community's turnout to honor his legacy.
