Rep. Suzan DelBene, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 1st district since 2012, shared several updates via social media on May 13, 2025. Her communications addressed both constituent services and legislative issues.
In a tweet posted at 15:02 UTC, Rep. DelBene informed her constituents about an opportunity to seek assistance with federal programs or agencies. She stated, “Need help with a federal program or agency? My office is here to help residents in WA’s 1st Congressional District! This upcoming Thursday, you can meet with my dedicated casework team from 10AM-2PM at Lake Ballinger Center in Mountlake Terrace.”
Later that day, at 17:03 UTC, she criticized a proposed budget bill by Republicans. In her tweet, she expressed concern over its potential impact on healthcare coverage for American families. She remarked, “Republicans’ budget bill would rip coverage away from American families to pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy. I’m fighting to protect & expand Medicaid & Affordable Care Act coverage so Americans can get the care they need.”
Continuing her critique of Republican policies, Rep. DelBene tweeted again at 22:03 UTC regarding ongoing efforts in Congress related to healthcare legislation. She wrote about the implications of these efforts on millions of Americans’ health care access and mentioned an all-night session by the Ways and Means Committee. Her statement read: “Republicans are trying to gut health care for nearly 14 million Americans to give more tax cuts to the wealthy. We will be going all night in the @waysandmeanscmte.”
