Rep. Becca Balint, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Vermont’s at-large district, has been active on social media, addressing various issues through her posts. Balint, who succeeded Peter Welch in 2023 and previously served in the Vermont Senate from 2017 to 2021, often discusses topics of both local and international concern.

On November 15, 2024, Rep. Balint expressed her concerns regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza. She stated that "The current flow of aid into Gaza is still nowhere near acceptable. The United States cannot continue to fund this war that has brought unimaginable death and destruction to Gaza. Israel must urgently work to surge aid into Gaza and take steps to immediately end the war."

The following day, November 16, 2024, she highlighted the importance of antitrust enforcement in promoting economic fairness. In her words: "People understand that competition lowers prices. Strong antitrust enforcement fights corporate power so that regular families have a fighting chance to build wealth and do more than just survive."

On November 17, 2024, Rep. Balint addressed young Vermonters directly with an uplifting message: "To the young people in Vermont: You give me hope. You give me purpose. You bring me joy."
