Representative Josh Harder, serving California’s 9th District in the U.S. Congress, has shared updates on recent events and issues through a series of tweets. Representing a region that includes Stockton, Harder regularly engages with his constituents and addresses their concerns.
On April 24, 2025, Harder expressed gratitude towards Stockton residents who attended a recent town hall meeting. In a tweet, Harder remarked, “Stockton showed up last night for our townhall — big thanks to the 300+ folks who packed the Delta College Auditorium.” He emphasized the significance of listening to constituents and his commitment to advocating for their interests.
Later on the same day, Harder criticized Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for proposing another rate increase. In his tweet, he stated, “PG&E raised rates 6 times last year. Now they want another hike while our families are already getting crushed by $800 bills. Insane.” This comment reflects his stance against additional financial burdens on families facing high utility expenses.
On April 25, 2025, Harder posted about the significance of “Take Your Child to Work Day,” sharing a personal moment with his daughters. He tweeted, “It’s Take Your Child to Work Day — and getting to share even a piece of this job with my girls means everything.” This event served as a reminder of the personal motivations that drive his work as a Congressman.
Harder, who succeeded Jeff Denham in 2019, resides in Tracy, California. Born in Turlock, he holds degrees from both Stanford University and Harvard University.
