Emilia Sykes, a congressional representative for Ohio’s 13th district, engaged her constituents through a series of tweets covering various themes from voter registration to healthcare. Since replacing Tim Ryan in Congress in 2023, Sykes has focused on ensuring her constituents are informed about key dates and services available to them.

On March 31, 2025, Sykes reminded voters, "Are you ready to vote? You have one week to register to vote to be able to vote in Ohio’s May 6 Primary Election! Make your voice heard and be sure to register by April 7." This reminder emphasizes the urgency of voter registration ahead of the upcoming primary election.

Later on the same day, at 21:30 UTC, Sykes announced, "Sign up for the Money Monday Grants Newsletter at https://t.co/pAEf7Ge0Fl to get information on federal grant opportunities, and how federal grants are working for you in #OH13, delivered right to your inbox each month." This initiative aims at providing constituents with valuable information about federal grants.

Finally, on March 31, 2025, at 22:25 UTC, Sykes noted the conclusion of an important enrollment period: "Today is the last day of Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment! Your health care plan should work for you, so make sure to make the changes you need to have the best plan for your health needs." This message addresses the importance of healthcare planning and informed decision-making for her community.
