Rep. Betty McCollum, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 4th District, has recently shared several statements on her social media platform. McCollum, who has been in office since 2001 and previously served in the Minnesota House of Representatives, continues to engage with her constituents on various issues through her online presence.

On March 3, 2025, McCollum congratulated educators from her district: "Congratulations to the teachers advancing to the semifinals for Minnesota Teacher of the Year, including eight from our Fourth District!"

Later that day, she expressed condolences over the passing of a local public servant: "Our entire Saint Paul community mourns the death of Former Police Officer Felicia Reilly, a heroic public servant whose service made our capital city a better place for us all."

On March 4, 2025, McCollum criticized trade policies enacted by former President Trump: "President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods will tax Americans for things that already cost too much while picking a pointless fight with our best friend. @WSJ calls Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian-imported goods 'the dumbest trade war in history.' I agree."
