U.S. Representative Brittany Pettersen, who has been serving Colorado's 7th district since 2023, recently took to social media to share updates on legislative initiatives and community events. Pettersen, a Lakewood resident with a background in the Colorado House of Representatives and Senate, is known for her active engagement in both policy-making and local activities.

On February 7, 2025, Rep. Pettersen announced her introduction of the Natural Disaster Property Protection Act alongside Rep. Doug LaMalfa. She emphasized that "bureaucratic hurdles shouldn’t stop communities from preparing for disasters." The act aims to reduce IRS reporting requirements for Coloradans investing in protective projects and improvements.

Later that day, she invited dog enthusiasts to attend a local event by tweeting: "Calling all dog lovers! If you want a fun family activity this weekend, head to the annual Goldens in Golden celebration!" The event celebrates the community spirit of Colorado's 7th district.

On February 8, 2025, Pettersen expressed skepticism about legislative procedures with a brief comment: "I thought proxy voting wasn’t allowed…" This tweet suggests an ongoing discussion or controversy regarding voting practices.
