The event aims to assist individuals with renewing or applying for passports ahead of travel plans.

On July 13, DelBene commented on recent legislative developments regarding health care: “Republicans’ megabill will kick people off health care & raise costs for working families. 

@RepKimSchrier & I discussed how these cuts will put patients at risk & drive up premiums.” She expressed concerns that proposed policy changes could negatively impact patient access and affordability.

On July 14, DelBene recognized Disability Pride Month and emphasized inclusion: “July is Disability Pride Month! This month, we recognize the contributions of the disability community & recommit ourselves to working towards a more inclusive society.”
