Rep. Suzan DelBene, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 1st district, has shared updates on various initiatives and concerns via social media. Her recent tweets cover topics ranging from office relocations to economic policy and healthcare legislation.

On December 2, 2024, Rep. DelBene announced an upcoming office move, stating: "Exciting news! The DelBene office is making moves - literally! Stay tuned for updates as we settle into our new space."

The following day, December 3, she expressed concerns about proposed tariffs by former President Trump on major trading partners like Canada, Mexico, and China. She highlighted the potential impact on local jobs and prices: "With 2/5 WA jobs tied to trade, Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, & China – our top trading partners – would raise prices on local families & threaten jobs throughout our region. Congress needs a say in these major economic decisions."

On December 4, Rep. DelBene addressed the issue of organ donation in the United States. She pointed out that financial barriers prevent many from donating organs and announced her plan to introduce a bill aimed at removing these obstacles: "17 people die every day waiting for an organ donation. Financial barriers prevent many people from donating life-saving organs. That’s why I’m introducing a bill that would remove these barriers & better support donors so more Americans can receive the gift of life."
