Rep. Elissa Slotkin, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Michigan's 7th District since 2019, recently shared her reflections and experiences through a series of tweets. Her posts provide insight into her tenure in Washington and significant legislative achievements.

On December 13, 2024, Rep. Slotkin expressed gratitude for her time serving in Washington, stating: "Serving you in Washington has been the honor of a lifetime, and it wouldn’t have been possible without countless people in the district sharing their expertise, ideas and time to support me and this office."

In another tweet on the same day, she highlighted a landmark legislative achievement: "Two years ago, we enshrined into federal law the right to marry who you love and protected the marriages of same-sex and interracial couples around the country. It was an incredible achievement and the product of decades of tireless work by so many." This post underscores her involvement in securing marriage rights for diverse couples across the nation.

Additionally, Rep. Slotkin shared a personal reflection about attending a significant legislative signing at the White House with Anne, her mother's longtime partner. She tweeted: "I attended the signing of the legislation at the White House, and it was especially meaningful because I was able to do so with my mom’s longtime partner, Anne. My mom passed away before she and Anne could marry, but I know she would be proud of the progress we’ve made." This personal anecdote adds depth to her professional achievements by highlighting her family's connection to these legislative changes.
