Rep. Becca Balint, a U.S. Congress member representing Vermont's at-large district since 2023, has shared her views on various pressing issues through recent tweets. Her insights cover topics such as the demographic and economic challenges in Vermont, federal contracts with high-profile entrepreneurs, and the role of consumer protection agencies.
On February 10, 2025, Rep. Balint addressed the multifaceted crises facing Vermont. She stated: "We have an aging population, a workforce crisis, and a housing crisis in Vermont. This is the perfect storm that directly hurts working people. We need to attract more workers and younger families and make sure we have a housing market that allows them to stay."
Later that day, she commented on federal contracts held by Elon Musk: "Uh, because Elon has tens of billions of dollars in federal contracts. That’s why."
On February 11, 2025, Rep. Balint expressed support for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). She remarked: "When we think of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, we see an agency that protects us from big banks and scammers...The agency returns far more money to taxpayers than it costs to run! How’s that for efficiency? We need the CFPB to protect us from con artists like Trump."
