Happy Juneteenth!

As we remember our nation’s history & celebrate our progress, we must acknowledge the work that lies ahead & commit to building a society rooted in unity & justice for all.

My office helped a constituent from Bothell resolve his issues with Social Security, securing over $100,000 worth of benefits.

Team DelBene is here to help! Visit https://t.co/T2AybnCrBQ to get in touch

Trump wasted $13 million of your tax dollars in a no bid contract to renovate the reflecting pool in DC. Days after the president declared the project finished, it’s covered in green algae. A complete waste!

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. continues to undermine science-backed research while in charge of our federal health department. In addition to dangerous research funding cuts, he’s using his position to promote unproven treatments that could endanger our kids.

We need trained scientists to make health care recommendations, not conspiracy theorists.

Trump repeatedly said that he would build his ballroom using only private donations. He was lying. Now he’s trying to use your tax dollars for this absurd vanity project.

Families in WA deserve access to affordable child care. That’s why I worked to secure $1.25 million in federal funding to support the Lake Washington Institute of Technology’s Early Learning Center.

Great to join our community for the grand reopening!

Investing in our kids not only sets them on a path for success but also has a huge economic benefit. That’s why I’m a champion of the expanded child tax credit that delivered monthly payments to families. This program supports working families & sets our kids up for success

Today kicks off the first FIFA World Cup game in Seattle ⚽⚽⚽

Can’t wait to bring our community together & cheer on team USA!

WA Seniors: Have you had your health care delayed or denied this year? A new program from the Trump administration could be to blame. I want to hear from you. Visit: https://t.co/oa1bwe6Nki

It's DelBene 🤌🤌

Instead of providing helpful resources to expectant mothers, RFK Jr’s https://t.co/si7jg0tNXh steers women toward deceptive anti-abortion information & health care that endangers women’s lives. That’s why my colleagues & I are demanding answers on this misleading website.

Red Alert for Social Security 🚨🚨 
According to a new report this week, Social Security is expected to run out of funding sooner than expected due to Trump & Republicans’ policies.  

That means crucial benefits you’ve paid into may be cut when you need them. Congress needs to act & stand up for Social Security.

Trump’s tariffs are devastating farmers & small businesses. WA’s economy & 4/10 of our jobs rely on international commerce. I’ve heard from folks across our community how these reckless tariffs are threatening to put them out of business.

[Rep. Suzan DelBene @RepDelBene]

The US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement is incredibly important to Washington state. We export more planes, produce, & equipment to our neighbors because of this deal that the first Trump administration negotiated & I proudly supported. 

It would be irresponsible to abandon this successful agreement. We should be advancing and improving upon our international partnerships instead of letting Trump’s tariffs undermine our economy.

Today is the first day of the World Cup! ⚽⚽⚽

Seattle begins hosting matches next week. If you’re attending a match or visiting our wonderful region, make sure you stay updated with the latest information.

More evidence that Trump is determined to get his $1.8 billion slush fund, so he can give your tax dollars to people like the January 6 cop beaters.

[Rep. Suzan DelBene @RepDelBene]

The federal government's foreign surveillance program needs to be reformed to protect both our national security & Americans’ civil liberties.

We also cannot trust these intelligence powers in the hands of Bill Pulte, another Trump crony with no national security experience.

There’s a bipartisan path forward if it includes warrant standards, limits on data collection, & competent national security leadership. Until then, I cannot vote to renew this program.

[Rep. Suzan DelBene @RepDelBene]

Working families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, rent, & health care because of rising prices.

Trump: “I love the inflation.”
