U.S. Representative Jim Costa, who represents California’s 21st district, is actively engaging in multiple initiatives pertinent to his constituency. On April 1, 2025, Costa used social media to inform the public about topics ranging from agriculture to healthcare.

In his first message of the day, Costa emphasized the significance of sustainability and food safety in the almond industry, stating "Investing in sustainability and food safety is vital for boosting global demand for California almonds, aiding Valley growers and processors. I met with the Almond Board of California to discuss industry initiatives, bloom conditions, hive losses, and trade impacts."

Later, at 20:20 UTC, Costa announced an ongoing virtual press conference regarding legislative efforts in medical education, tweeting, "HAPPENING NOW: Check out my virtual press conference on the Expanding Medical Education Act!"

Costa concluded the day by inviting constituents to a live Telephone Town Hall scheduled for April 8, 2025. He outlined the subjects of discussion as Medicaid-related updates and his advocacy efforts. The invitation read, "Join me for a live Telephone Town Hall on Tuesday, April 8th at 1:00 PM (PT). I’ll provide updates and answer your questions on Medicaid—its current state, future, and my efforts to protect and strengthen it."
