Representative Suzan DelBene, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 1st District since 2012, recently shared her views and greetings through a series of tweets. Born in Selma, Alabama in 1962 and currently residing in Medina, DelBene is known for her active engagement on social media platforms.
On May 11, 2025, Rep. DelBene extended warm wishes for Mother’s Day with a tweet that read “Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there!”
The following day, on May 12, she addressed economic concerns related to tariffs implemented by former President Trump. In a tweet, she stated “Trump’s tariffs are hitting Washington families, farmers, & small businesses hard. I spoke with @KIRONewsradio about how these taxes are raising prices & hurting jobs.” This comment reflects ongoing debates about the impact of trade policies on local economies.
Later that day, DelBene commented on drug pricing strategies by contrasting approaches between Republicans and Democrats. She tweeted “Trump is asking drug companies to voluntarily lower their prices. Democrats, on the other hand, empowered Medicare to negotiate for lower prices. One of these things is actually delivering savings to seniors. The other is not.” Her statement highlights differences in policy measures aimed at reducing healthcare costs.
Suzan DelBene’s educational background includes degrees from Reed College and the University of Washington.
