U.S. Representative Josh Harder, who serves California’s 9th district, used his social media platform on November 5, 2025, to address issues ranging from food insecurity to energy policy and the effects of a potential government shutdown.
On November 5, Harder posted a message aimed at constituents needing food assistance: “SHARE: If you or someone you know is in need of food assistance, please share these local resources.” This tweet highlights ongoing concerns about access to basic necessities within the community.
Later that day, Harder commented on developments in energy policy with another post: “More efficiency, faster grid connectivity, and lower rates across the board is exactly the kind of energy win-win-win we need.”
In an evening tweet on November 5, Harder criticized political disputes over a government shutdown and their impact on children’s nutrition. He wrote: “Kids are missing meals while politicians fight about a shutdown. Disgraceful.”
Josh Harder has represented California’s 9th district since 2019 after replacing Jeff Denham in Congress. Born in Turlock, California in 1986 and currently residing in Tracy, Harder is known for his focus on community issues. He holds degrees from Stanford University and Harvard University.
