Rep. Terri A. Sewell, a U.S. Congress member representing Alabama’s 7th district since 2011, recently shared several updates on her activities and legislative efforts via social media. Sewell, who was born in Huntsville, Alabama, and currently resides in Birmingham, has been an advocate for healthcare access and education rights.
On May 21, 2025, Rep. Sewell emphasized her commitment to healthcare accessibility by stating “I will continue to fight for access to healthcare coverage because access to care shouldn’t depend on your zip code or income.” This statement reflects her ongoing advocacy for equitable healthcare services regardless of geographical or economic barriers.
Later that day, she informed the public about Team Sewell’s presence in Wilcox County for mobile office hours. She invited constituents to visit the Wilcox County Courthouse Commissioners Conference Room before 1 PM for assistance with federal needs, expressing “We are here to help!”
On May 22, 2025, Rep. Sewell announced the introduction of two amendments to the budget reconciliation bill aimed at closing the Medicaid gap and protecting public schools. She articulated her belief that “quality, affordable Healthcare and Education are rights, not privileges for the few.” This initiative aligns with her long-standing focus on improving access to essential services.
Terri Sewell is an alumna of Princeton University (BA), St Hilda’s College at Oxford (MA), and Harvard University (JD). Her educational background supports her legislative priorities in healthcare and education.
