Rep. Terri A. Sewell, currently serving as the U.S. Congresswoman for Alabama’s 7th District, has taken to social media to express her strong opposition to legislative actions she describes as detrimental. Her posts reflect a fervent advocacy for preserving key social safety net programs.
On July 2, 2025, Rep. Sewell expressed her firm opposition to what she termed a “BIG UGLY BILL,” underscoring her commitment to opposing this particular piece of legislation. “We are united against this BIG UGLY BILL!!!”
Later that day, at approximately 4:36 PM UTC, Rep. Sewell detailed her active involvement on the House Floor, advocating for the protection of Medicaid and SNAP benefits from proposed Republican actions. She stated that despite repeated obstructions by Republicans, efforts would persist: “RIGHT NOW: We’re on the House Floor demanding that House Republicans protect Medicaid and SNAP.”
In another post at 10:06 PM UTC on the same day, Rep. Sewell shared an update regarding her efforts to ensure constituents’ voices were heard by delivering their communications directly to Speaker Johnson’s office: “I just hand-delivered your letters, emails, and calls to Speaker Johnson’s office.”
Rep. Sewell has been representing Alabama’s 7th District since replacing Artur Davis in 2011. Born in Huntsville in 1965 and currently residing in Birmingham, she is an alumna of Princeton University (BA), St Hilda’s College, Oxford (MA), and Harvard University (JD).
