Rep. Keith Self, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Texas, published several statements on his social media account on October 2, 2025, addressing federal spending priorities and religious observances.
In one post, Rep. Self criticized Democratic lawmakers for their approach to budget negotiations: “Democrats shut down the government over their demand to spend $200 billion on health care for illegals aliens. Pass it on.” (October 2, 2025).
Later that day, he extended greetings to members of the Jewish community: “Wishing all of my Jewish neighbors in Texas and across the world a meaningful Yom Kippur—the holiest day of the year for the Jewish faith.” (October 2, 2025).
In another statement focused on health policy and federal spending, Rep. Self called for an end to certain healthcare subsidies: “Congress must protect the American taxpayer from funding this fraud by letting Biden’s COVID-era Obamacare subsidies EXPIRE for good.” (October 2, 2025).
Rep. Keith Self has served as a representative since winning elections in both 2022 and 2024 against Sandeep Srivastava. In those contests, Self secured approximately 60% or more of the vote each time.
