Jim Himes, a U.S. Congressman representing Connecticut’s 4th district since 2009, shared his thoughts on various political matters through a series of tweets. Born in Lima, Peru in 1966 and currently residing in Cos Cob, Himes has been active in Congress for over a decade.

On July 3, 2025, Himes directed a message to Mike Lawler with the statement: "Mike Lawler, please pick up the white courtesy phone." The tweet suggests an attempt to reach out or draw attention to Lawler for reasons not explicitly stated.

Later that day, at 17:23 UTC, Himes commented on political representation by stating: "Demonstrating perfectly how much their constituents matter to them." This remark was made without further context but implies criticism of certain representatives' engagement with their constituents.

Shortly after, at 17:28 UTC, Himes expressed his support for Rep. Jeffries during a legislative session by tweeting: "Proud to be on the Floor standing with @RepJeffries as he does all he can to explain this horrendous bill to the American people. He started talking in the dark of night when the GOP was hoping to pass it." This indicates Himes' opposition to a particular bill and his solidarity with Rep. Jeffries' efforts against it.

Jim Himes is known for his educational background from Harvard University where he graduated with a BA in 1988.
