Rep. Suzan DelBene, a U.S. Congress member representing Washington’s 1st district since 2012, recently shared her perspectives on various national issues through a series of tweets. DelBene, who succeeded Jay Inslee in the role, voiced concerns regarding proposed changes to federal programs and invited constituents to engage in dialogue about current political impacts.
On February 20, 2025, Rep. Suzan DelBene expressed her opposition to Republican efforts aimed at reducing Medicaid funding as a means to finance tax cuts for billionaires. She emphasized the importance of Medicaid for Washington residents by stating that “Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. 1.7 million Washingtonians rely on Medicaid, including half of all babies. I’m going to fight to protect their coverage.“
Later the same day, she criticized the Trump administration’s fiscal decisions by noting that “The Trump administration is making America less safe by the day with dangerous cuts to critical federal programs.” This tweet reflects her concern over budgetary priorities affecting national safety.
On February 21, 2025, DelBene invited constituents to participate in an upcoming telephone town hall meeting alongside special guest Rep. Joe Neguse. The discussion would focus on “Trump & Musk’s impact on our communities & what I’m doing in Congress.” Interested individuals were encouraged to register online for this event.
