Rep. Suzan DelBene, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 1st district since 2012, recently shared her perspectives on significant legislative developments via social media. Born in Selma, Alabama, and currently residing in Medina, DelBene has been an active political figure since succeeding Jay Inslee in 2012.

On July 3, 2025, DelBene highlighted potential negative impacts of a new bill through a tweet. She warned that “17 million will lose health care,” there would be a “historic cut to food assistance,” energy bills would rise, and “$4 trillion added to the national debt.”

Later that day, DelBene expressed her disapproval of the legislative process concerning the bill in another tweet. She stated she had just left the Capitol after Republicans passed what she referred to as their “Big, Ugly Bill” and sent it to then-President Trump. DelBene noted her pride in voting “NO” and standing up for families in Washington.

On July 4, 2025, DelBene attended a community event hosted by the Bothell Fire Department. In her tweet, she expressed enthusiasm about seeing attendees at the annual Fourth of July pancake breakfast.

Suzan DelBene is not only known for her legislative work but also for engaging with constituents through local events and maintaining active communication on public platforms.
