Representative Jerry Nadler, a seasoned legislator serving New York’s 12th district in the U.S. Congress since 1992, recently shared several statements on social media addressing significant issues of international and domestic concern.
On May 13, 2025, Rep. Nadler expressed relief over the safe return of U.S. citizen Edan Alexander from Gaza. In his post, he emphasized the importance of securing the release of all hostages regardless of their citizenship status, stating that “His safe return offers a moment of relief amid ongoing tragedy and underscores both the urgency and possibility of bringing them all home now.”
In another post made on the same day, Nadler included a link to additional information or resources but did not provide further context within the tweet itself (source).
Later that evening, Rep. Nadler criticized House Republicans for pushing forward legislation that he argues would negatively impact millions by cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits to finance tax reductions for billionaires. He asserted that “New Yale Budget Lab data proves Congress can extend middle-class tax cuts without adding”, suggesting alternative fiscal solutions are available.
Jerry Nadler has had a long-standing career in public service, initially serving in the New York State Assembly before transitioning to his current congressional role. Born in New York City in 1947, he continues to reside in Manhattan.
