Gary Palmer, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Alabama's 6th district since 2015, shared his views on several topics through social media posts on February 5, 2025. Palmer emphasized issues related to women's sports and energy security in his tweets.

In a post from February 5, 2025, Gary Palmer marked National Girls and Women in Sports Day by expressing his stance against biological men participating in women's sports. He stated, "It should be common sense- Biological men have NO place in women's sports. Our daughters deserve to be given an equal opportunity to compete and win. I will continue to fight with @HouseGOP to defend women's sports."

Later that day, Palmer addressed concerns regarding energy security, highlighting the reliance of the Western Hemisphere on China for critical minerals and rare earth elements. He asserted that "Energy security is national security." Palmer advocated for increased domestic production, mining, and refining as measures to reduce dependence on China.

In another tweet posted on February 5, 2025, Gary Palmer expressed gratitude towards President Biden for signing an Executive Order aimed at protecting safety and fairness in women's sports. He commented that this action represented "another example of common sense finally being back in the White House."
