Rep. Suzan DelBene, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 1st District since 2012, has recently shared her views and initiatives on social media regarding tariffs, storm damage in Western Washington, and assistance for residents with federal programs.
On December 5, 2024, Rep. DelBene expressed concerns about the economic impact of tariffs imposed by former President Trump. She stated that “Tariffs raise prices on goods like gas & food.
