Rep. Betty McCollum, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 4th district since 2001, recently took to social media to share updates on her political engagements and legislative initiatives. In her posts, she addressed topics ranging from international relations to campaign finance reform and privacy legislation.

On February 16, 2025, McCollum expressed her honor in meeting with Tunisian Ambassador @BessassiTajouri to discuss bilateral relations between the United States and Tunisia. As co-chair of the Congressional Tunisia Caucus, she conveyed gratitude for Tunisia's partnership with the U.S., particularly in peacekeeping efforts across the region.

Later that day, McCollum announced her role as an original co-sponsor of the We the People Amendment. She emphasized that "shadowy corporate money doesn’t belong in our elections," signaling her commitment to campaign finance reform.

On February 17, 2025, McCollum called for bipartisan support on privacy legislation aimed at preventing Elon Musk from accessing private information. She urged three House Republicans to join Democrats in passing this legislation but criticized their preference for siding with "their billionaire donor over everyday Americans."
