Suzan DelBene, a U.S. Congress member representing Washington’s 1st district since 2012, recently shared her views and activities on social media. Born in Selma, Alabama in 1962, DelBene has been an active political figure following her graduation from Reed College and the University of Washington.
On June 5, 2025, DelBene expressed criticism of former President Trump’s travel ban. She stated that “Trump’s new travel ban is yet another attempt to distract from his efforts to rip health care away from 16 million Americans so the wealthy can get another massive tax break.” This tweet highlights her concern over the potential impact on healthcare accessibility.
Later that day, she shared a moment of engagement with local leadership. At 19:43 UTC, DelBene tweeted about her meeting with Redmond’s Mayor Birney: “Great to catch up with @CityOfRedmond Mayor Birney & talk about what makes Redmond so special. You might be surprised by what she shared!” This indicates her involvement in community matters and local governance discussions.
In a somber post at 21:16 UTC on the same day, DelBene acknowledged a tragic event involving the loss of three young lives. She mentioned that “Today, members of the Washington Delegation held a moment of silence to honor the lives of Paityn, Evelyn, & Olivia Decker, who were tragically killed last weekend.” She further added thoughts for their family and community during this challenging period and emphasized that “These victims deserve justice.”
