On April 15, 2025, Rep. DelBene expressed criticism of former President Trump regarding social security.

Later the same day, DelBene reminded her followers of the tax filing deadline. She posted, “Don’t forget! Today is the last day to submit your taxes for 2024. Eligible Washingtonians can file their taxes for free…” This reminder was aimed at helping citizens avoid penalties due to late submissions.
In another post, Rep. DelBene addressed economic concerns related to trade policies. On April 16, 2025, she tweeted, “Trump’s trade war is costing Washington jobs & business.” This was accompanied by a link to further information on the economic impact of trade relations.
