Rep. Keith Self, a U.S. Congressman who won re-election in both 2022 and 2024 against Sandeep Srivastava, used his social media platform on October 6, 2025, to criticize Democratic healthcare policies and advocate for the expiration of COVID-era subsidies.
In a post at 15:40 UTC, Self wrote, “Democrats are trying to force American taxpayers to foot the bill for free healthcare for illegal aliens. Don’t believe me? Here are the receipts. https://t.co/YVynzaN5uU”.
Later that day at 16:05 UTC, he called on members of his party with the message: “Republicans! HOLD THE LINE. LET BIDEN’S TEMPORARY COVID-ERA SUBSIDIES EXPIRE. https://t.co/H8GmNKJ3SO”.
At 17:07 UTC, Self criticized the Affordable Care Act, stating: “Obamacare has been a massive failure. Even The Washington Post agrees! https://t.co/t1eDjxEaeP”.
Keith Self has maintained a strong presence in Texas politics since defeating Sandeep Srivastava in consecutive general elections—first in 2022 with 60.5% of the vote and again in 2024 with an increased margin of 62.5%.
