Rep. Josh Harder, who represents California’s 9th district in the U.S. Congress, used his social media platform on August 26, 2025, to address issues ranging from local agriculture to family expenses and community engagement.

Later that day, at 22:32 UTC, he highlighted the financial challenges faced by families: “Being a parent is the best thing to happen to me and Pam. However it’s INSANELY expensive. What are your biggest bills killing your budget?”
