On May 4, 2025, Rep. DelBene addressed mental health awareness by stating, “It’s okay to not be okay. We must reduce the stigma around mental health so we can better support people who are struggling.” She encouraged those in need of assistance to reach out for help via the 988 hotline.
In a tweet posted on May 5, 2025, Rep. DelBene expressed concern about presidential accountability, saying “It should scare every American that the President of the United States refuses to clearly say that he’ll uphold our laws & constitutional protections.”
Later that day, Rep. DelBene celebrated Seattle’s unique position in women’s sports with her statement: “Seattle is the only city to have a NWSL team, a WNBA team, & now a women’s hockey team!”
