Rep. Morgan McGarvey, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Kentucky's 3rd district, recently shared a series of tweets addressing various topics of interest to his constituents and the broader public.

On December 6, 2024, Rep. McGarvey tweeted about honoring Thomas Cork Sr., a Montford Point Marine, on the House floor. He stated, "This week, I spoke on the House floor to honor the life of Thomas Cork Sr.—a Montford Point Marine and American hero. He made our country and our hometown proud, and his legacy will live on for generations."

Later that day, at 18:20 UTC, he expressed gratitude to participants of a telephone town hall event. In his tweet, he mentioned, "Closed out the year with one last great telephone town hall! Thanks to the thousands of Louisvillians who joined to share their thoughts about what's happening up in DC and at home in Louisville."

In another tweet posted at 21:25 UTC on December 6th, Rep. McGarvey addressed issues related to veterans' affairs. He wrote, "The VA screwed up. But they found it, admitted it, and fixed it—we can’t let it distract us from the real problems. There are 1 million homeless vets, vets who can't get the care they need, and vets waiting on earned benefits. Any accounting should show we're not doing enough."
