Representative Suzan DelBene, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 1st district since 2012, frequently shares her insights on economic and policy matters. On April 9, 2025, she commented on a recent economic decision by former President Donald Trump. "Trump adds to his economic chaos with another tariff flip-flop. He promised lower prices, but his chaotic policies, that Republicans are supporting, are raising costs & hurting the economy." DelBene highlighted perceived inconsistencies in tariffs and the economical impact.
The following day, April 10, 2025, DelBene criticized a recent decision by Republicans related to banking fees. "Republicans claim to care about families, but they just voted to repeal a cap of $5 on overdraft fees. This is a major giveaway to banks at the expense of customers." She expressed concerns that this change favored banks at the expense of consumers.
Later the same day, she addressed potential implications of financial cuts in her state. "Many in WA are concerned about the impact these cuts would have on them." Encouraging constituents in Washington to share their experiences, DelBene provided a link for them to express their worries and underline the significance of particular programs in their lives.
Suzan DelBene began her political career in 2012, replacing former U.S. Congress member Jay Inslee. Born in 1962 in Selma, Alabama, DelBene currently resides in Medina, Washington. She holds degrees from Reed College and the University of Washington.
