Rep. Suzan DelBene, U.S. Congresswoman representing Washington’s 1st district since 2012, posted several updates on her official Twitter account on May 8, 2026, covering recent political developments and community engagement.
In a post from the afternoon of May 8, DelBene criticized former President Donald Trump’s trade policies, stating: “The president still cannot accept that he is a king. Trump’s latest tariffs are yet again ruled illegal in court. We can put a stop to this harmful policy that raises costs for families & small businesses. Republicans should join Democrats & make clear the president must come”. This statement follows ongoing legal challenges to tariff measures enacted during Trump’s administration, which courts have repeatedly found unlawful.
Later the same day, DelBene highlighted her local involvement by sharing: “Joined the Snohomish Kiwanis Club for their weekly meeting & gave an update on the work I’m doing in Congress on behalf of our community.” The message reflects her continued efforts to communicate directly with constituents about legislative priorities and activities in Washington D.C.
In another tweet posted on May 8, DelBene promoted participation in a national charitable event: “Tomorrow is the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive! To participate, leave a bag of nonperishable goods outside your mailbox. This is a great way to support our community!”
Suzan DelBene has served as U.S. Representative for Washington’s 1st District since replacing Jay Inslee in 2012. She was born in Selma, Alabama in 1962 and currently resides in Medina at age 61. Her educational background includes degrees from Reed College (1983) and the University of Washington (1990).
