Rep. Suzan DelBene, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 1st district since 2012, recently shared several updates on social media addressing a range of topics from national parks to personal milestones and political issues.

On June 17, 2025, Rep. DelBene highlighted the significance of national parks as cultural and historical treasures. In celebration of Juneteenth on June 19, she announced that “entrance fees are waived so everyone can explore & enjoy.”

Later that day, she extended her personal congratulations to her son and his new wife, expressing joy over their recent nuptials. She stated on social media: “Congratulations to my son Zach & his new wife Lisa on their wedding! Wishing them a lifetime of happiness.”

The following day, on June 18, Rep. DelBene addressed political concerns regarding reproductive rights. She criticized efforts by Republicans to reduce funding for Planned Parenthood and healthcare access, asserting that “abortion care is health care.” She described these actions as extreme attacks on reproductive freedom that “are dangerous & must stop.”

Suzan DelBene was born in Selma, Alabama in 1962 and currently resides in Medina. She graduated from Reed College with a BS in 1983 and furthered her education at the University of Washington in 1990.
