U.S. Representative Brittany Pettersen, currently serving Colorado's 7th district in Congress, shared insights and updates through a series of tweets on February 6 and 7, 2025. The tweets highlight her engagement with local leaders and communities to address pressing issues such as resource allocation, federal budget cuts, and funding freezes.

On February 6, 2025, Pettersen expressed gratitude for the collaboration with local leaders: "I’m grateful for the partnership of our local leaders as we work to ensure our communities have the resources and support they need to thrive."

Later that day, she detailed her participation in a legislative town hall alongside Jeffco Commissioners Andy Kerr and Lesley Dahlkemper, as well as Colorado Representatives Brianna Titone and Tammy Story. The discussion focused on potential impacts of federal budget cuts: "#TeamPettersen joined Jeffco Commissioners Andy Kerr and @LDahlkemper and CO Reps. @BriannaForCO and @Story4CO for a legislative town hall on how federal budget cuts could impact our children's education, our disaster preparedness, & our infrastructure."

On February 7, Pettersen addressed concerns regarding President Trump's proposed funding freeze during a meeting with the Chaffee County Leadership Council. She reassured over 70 county leaders of her commitment to protecting essential community programs: "President Trump's attempted funding freeze has left local governments with unanswered questions."
