Rep. Josh Harder, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman for California's 9th District, has recently expressed his positions and ongoing activities through Twitter posts. Harder, who succeeded Jeff Denham in 2019, shared his interactions and concerns regarding various issues affecting his constituents.

On March 30, 2025, Harder shared insights from his meeting with the San Joaquin Farm Bureau, emphasizing the main issues faced by farmers in the area. He noted that topics such as "Delta Tunnel, tariffs and cutting red tape all came up." He underscored the importance of Washington, D.C., hearing these concerns. "Joined the San Joaquin Farm Bureau to hear what our farmers need right now. Delta Tunnel, tariffs and cutting red tape all came up. Appreciate you all taking the time to share concerns, D.C. needs to hear it!"

On March 31, 2025, Harder tweeted in response to issues regarding Social Security payments, expressing frustration over a government error affecting seniors. He highlighted the necessity of this assistance for seniors and found the situation "insane." "This makes no sense. Withholding Social Security checks because of a government error is insane. Our seniors need this money!"

In a tweet dated April 1, 2025, Harder announced support for a local law enforcement initiative. He visited a crime center under construction with the San Joaquin Sheriff’s office and mentioned the funding secured to support this development. He stressed the need for tools that enhance public safety. "Joined @SJSheriff to see the incredible new crime center they’re building. Was proud bring home nearly $1M in funding to make it a reality. Our families deserve to feel safe, and this is a huge step to getting law enforcement the tools they need."
