Delia C. Ramirez, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Illinois' 3rd district, has expressed her views on recent political developments through her posts on social media. Her statements reflect concerns on political integrity and actions affecting voter enfranchisement, drawing on historical figures for inspiration.

In a post dated March 26, 2025, Congresswoman Ramirez addressed concerns about integrity and credibility, criticizing an unidentified individual for refusing to accept the 2020 election results with the tweet, "A man with no integrity - who refused to accept the 2020 election results - has no credibility to comment on election integrity."

On the same date, Ramirez commented on what she perceives as executive overreach, warning it could impact voting processes and agency control: "It is an unnecessary and unlawful executive overreach that disrupts how Americans vote, attempts to bring an independent agency under presidential control, and disenfranchises thousands of voters."

Reflecting on historical figures, she invoked the legacy of Congressman John R. Lewis, encouraging adherence to ethical principles and action against perceived injustices. Her statement reads, "We must be courageous, proceed with the moral clarity of those who came before us, like the late Congressman John R. Lewis, and stand against his actions."
