Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez has recently expressed her positions on various socio-economic issues via her Twitter account. Representing Illinois' 3rd district in the U.S. Congress since 2023, Ramirez speaks on the protection of social programs, economic policies, and voter rights. Having served in the Illinois House of Representatives from 2018 to 2022, Ramirez is known for her strong advocacy for constituents.

On April 10, 2025, Ramirez stressed her commitment to social programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and public education through a tweet, stating that these programs belong to the working people and not "unaccountable billionaires." She expressed her intention to continue voting "ABSOLUTELY NO" on any bill that proposes cuts to these essential programs.

Later that day, Ramirez remarked on the economic implications of tariffs imposed by former President Trump. She indicated that these tariffs are raising costs for Americans, affecting businesses such as Tasa Coffee Roasters in her district, IL-03. Ramirez called for an end to tariff policies which she described as "bad economic policies" in her tweet posted at 20:51 UTC.

Further addressing legislative issues, Ramirez criticized the SAVE Act, describing it as a voter suppression bill comparable to historical obstacles like literacy tests and poll taxes. She emphasized her opposition by mentioning her "HELL NO" vote against the act in another tweet published later the same day at 23:06 UTC, asserting that such measures aim to disenfranchise Americans.

Delia Ramirez was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1983 and is a graduate of Northeastern Illinois University. She continues to reside in Chicago while serving her constituents.
