Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who represents Virginia’s 7th District in the U.S. Congress, has been active on social media discussing various issues and events. Spanberger, a member of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, highlighted her visits to family farms across her district and emphasized her commitment to supporting rural communities and farm families.

On December 12, 2024, Rep. Spanberger shared her experiences visiting local farms in Virginia's Seventh District. She stated: "As the only Virginian on the U.S. House Ag Committee, I've visited family farms across the Seventh District — like Carter Farms — to talk about the challenges and opportunities facing local farmers." She reiterated her dedication to aiding Virginia's rural areas.

The following day, December 13, 2024, she extended birthday wishes to the United States National Guard. In her message, she acknowledged their long-standing service: "Happy birthday to the @USNationalGuard! For 388 years, our brave National Guard has proudly stood ready to defend our nation." She expressed gratitude towards both past and present members of the National Guard for their contributions.

Later that day, Rep. Spanberger announced progress regarding a legislative effort in which she is involved. She noted that Senator Schumer committed to advancing their bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act in the Senate: "MOMENTUM: @SenSchumer pledged to bring our bipartisan #SocialSecurityFairnessAct to the U.S. Senate floor!" The act aims to secure retirement benefits for Virginia's police officers, firefighters, and federal employees.
