Rep. Claudia Tenney, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 24th district, has recently expressed her views on various issues through social media posts. Her statements cover topics ranging from election security to immigration policies and international human rights concerns.

On October 31, 2024, Rep. Tenney shared her stance on voting regulations, stating "There's nothing spookier than illegal immigrants & foreign nationals voting in our elections." She highlighted that "83% of Americans believe proof of citizenship should be required to vote" and advocated for the enactment of the SAVE Act to mandate proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration.

Later that day, she questioned the safety implications of sanctuary cities under current federal and state administrations by asking "How many more innocent Americans will be seriously injured or killed before the Biden-Harris administration and liberal governors shut down these sanctuary cities and deport these dangerous criminals?"

On November 1, 2024, Rep. Tenney extended condolences to Gazelle Sharmahd over the death of her father Jamshid Sharmahd. In her post, she stated "My deepest condolences go out to @GazelleSharmahd for the loss of her father, Jamshid, a German citizen and American lawful permanent resident who was killed by the brutal Iranian regime." She further described Jamshid as living in the U.S. when he was kidnapped by Iranian authorities.
