Rep. Suzan DelBene, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 1st district, shared several updates on social media regarding her recent activities and views on legislative matters. Her tweets reflect discussions on supporting servicemembers, maintaining local traditions within the state delegation, and voicing opposition to proposed legislation affecting healthcare freedoms.

On January 23, 2025, Rep. DelBene tweeted about a conversation with Adjutant General Welsh from @waEMD. She stated: "Had a great discussion with @waEMD Adjutant General Welsh today about how we can support our brave WA National Guard servicemembers in keeping our communities safe & prepare & respond to natural disasters."

Later that day, at 20:24 UTC, she highlighted a longstanding tradition among the Washington delegation members by tweeting: "The ‘chick pic’ has been passed down to new members of the WA delegation for decades. We continued this tradition today by handing it off to @RepBaumgartner. Great to welcome him & Rep. Randall to the delegation!"

In another tweet posted at 22:10 UTC on January 23rd, Rep. DelBene expressed her stance against a bill advanced by Republicans that she believes would interfere with personal medical decisions and impact healthcare providers negatively. She asserted: "Republicans advanced a bill today that would allow politicians to interfere in your family’s medical decisions & jail health care providers. Doctors should focus on saving lives, not worry about being prosecuted. I voted no & will continue standing up for health care freedoms."
