Ruben Gallego, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona's 3rd district, recently shared his thoughts on several issues via social media. His statements addressed topics ranging from veteran affairs to government operations and International Women's Day.

On March 7, 2025, Gallego criticized Elon Musk's understanding of veterans' needs. He stated, "Elon Musk isn’t a veteran and doesn’t have a clue what it means to take care of the men and women who served this country. They fought for us, we won’t stop fighting for them."

Later that day, he addressed concerns regarding government efficiency in relation to the Phoenix BIA office. Gallego expressed his disapproval by stating, "This isn’t 'government efficiency'—it’s government neglect. The Phoenix BIA office serves over 40 tribes, handling everything from economic development to child social services. I’m demanding answers from the GSA and fighting to keep these offices open."

On March 8, 2025, Gallego celebrated International Women's Day by acknowledging the influence of strong women in his life. He remarked, "Happy #InternationalWomensDay! I was raised by four fiercely independent women. Their strength, like that of so many moms, abuelas, teachers, and small business owners inspires us to fight for a more just future for women everywhere."
