Rep. Josh Harder, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 9th district since 2019, recently shared his views and local updates through a series of tweets. Harder, born in Turlock, California in 1986 and currently residing in Tracy, is known for his engagement with constituents on various issues.

On March 10, 2025, Rep. Harder addressed the topic of daylight saving time. He expressed support for making it permanent by stating: "Extra tired today? Thank daylight saving time… I’m pushing to make daylight saving time permanent so we can keep the extra hour and stop changing our clocks!"

The following day, March 11, 2025, he celebrated a local achievement: "BIG win for Stockton—Genova Bakery just made Yelp’s Top 100 Restaurants in the country! A local spot getting national and well-deserved recognition for doing what they do best." This highlights Genova Bakery's recognition as one of the top restaurants nationwide.

On March 12, 2025, Rep. Harder drew attention to an environmental issue affecting the Delta region. He tweeted about invasive swamp rats causing damage: "40-pound swamp rats with neon orange teeth are tearing through our Delta—chewing up levees, wrecking crops, and multiplying fast. One can have 200 babies a year. Went out to see the fight firsthand—these invaders have got to go." This underscores his concern over ecological challenges impacting local agriculture and infrastructure.
