Rep. Claudia Tenney, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 24th district, has recently shared her views on various issues through a series of tweets. Tenney, who has been in Congress since 2021 after replacing Anthony Brindisi, previously served in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2016. She was born in New Hartford, New York, and resides in Canandaigua.

On November 26, 2024, Rep. Tenney criticized the $7.5 billion electric vehicle charging program led by Pete Buttigieg. In her tweet, she stated: "Pete Buttigieg's $7.5 billion EV charging program has reportedly built 8 stations in two years. That's nearly $1 billion per station." She compared this with private sector efforts by Elon Musk and called for reducing government spending.

Later that day, Tenney expressed optimism about the evaluation of Cloverleaf as a site for a new Customs and Border Protection (CBP) station in Jefferson County. She tweeted: "The decision to evaluate Cloverleaf as a potential site for a new CBP station in Jefferson County brings us one step closer to finding a solution that has support from our community & advances CBP's crucial mission."

In another post on November 26, she urged stronger action against sanctuary cities and states regarding immigration enforcement. Her statement read: "We must apply the maximum pressure on Governor Hochul & Mayor Adams & other leaders of sanctuary cities & states who refuse to follow the law & detain & deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes in the US."
