U.S. Representative Frederica Wilson, who has represented Florida’s 24th district in Congress since 2011, recently made a series of public statements on social media addressing issues ranging from government transparency to public health and political initiatives.
On September 2, 2025, Wilson posted about her support for the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. She wrote, “I just signed a discharge petition to force a vote on legislation that would release the Epstein files. The American people and the survivors deserve the truth. We need full transparency and accountability.”
The following day, Wilson commented on Project 2025, a policy agenda promoted by conservative groups ahead of the next presidential election cycle. In her post dated September 3, she stated, “Project 2025 is already wreaking havoc on everyday Americans, and we must fight back! Thank you, @angela_rye, for moderating our tele-town hall and for sounding the alarm every day in your work about the crisis this nation is in.”
Later that same day, Wilson addressed concerns over childhood vaccination policies in Florida. Referring to state officials’ positions on vaccines, she posted: “Are we losing our minds? This is getting ridiculous and pathetic. Are we trying to kill millions of innocent children? Childhood vaccines save lives. Abolishing them is INSANITY. Governor DeSantis must either remove Joseph Ladapo as Surgeon General or have him resign.”
Frederica Wilson was born in Miami in 1942 and continues to reside in Miami Gardens at age 80. Before her election to Congress—where she succeeded Kendrick Meek—she served in both chambers of Florida’s legislature between 1998 and 2010 and holds a BA from Fisk University (see https://bioguide.congress.gov/search/bio/W000808). Her recent posts reflect ongoing debates over transparency regarding high-profile criminal cases, the direction of national policy platforms like Project 2025 (context at https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/20/us/politics/project-2025-trump.html), and public health leadership amid controversies over vaccine requirements.
