Rep. Terri A. Sewell, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Alabama's 7th district since 2011, recently posted several statements on social media reflecting the themes of social security, historical remembrance, and rural health care. Originally from Huntsville, Alabama, Sewell boasts an impressive academic background with degrees from Princeton University, Oxford, and Harvard University. She currently resides in Birmingham.

On April 3rd, 2025, Rep. Sewell shared her ongoing dedication to securing social welfare measures: "We won’t stop fighting to protect Social Security." This statement underscores her commitment to maintaining pivotal government programs.

In observance of an important historical moment, Sewell tweeted on April 4th, 2025, "On this day in 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. 57 years later, his words still ring true. Whatever we do we have to keep moving forward! #MLK" This reflection highlights the enduring significance of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.

Later on the same day, Sewell expressed her gratitude for being recognized for her advocacy in healthcare. Her post read: "I’m so honored to receive the Rural Health Champion Award from the National Rural Health Association. Fighting to improve health care access in our rural communities will continue to be a top priority of mine!" This award signifies acknowledgement of her continued efforts in advocating for better health care access in rural areas.
