Congresswoman Sarah McBride

Delaware's Congresswoman.

This is her government X account.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

Some days in this job are particularly awe-inspiring — like today, when I joined my colleagues at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to celebrate that on this day 250 years ago our predecessors in the Continental Congress voted that our colonies were free and independent states.

Two days later, they would adopt a declaration that would proclaim certain self evident truths. We still have a long way to go before our nation fully realizes the values and rights articulated in the Declaration of Independence — that all of us are created equal. I'm grateful for the opportunity to do my small part in that work each day that I serve Delaware in Congress.

While our efforts to impeach Pete Hegseth fell short tonight, our fight for accountability is far from over. He, alongside President Trump, bears responsibility for starting a new forever war that has raised costs and taken American lives. Whether in this Congress or the next, the House of Representatives will impeach him — and deservedly so.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

It is that simple.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

Vibes in DC are excellent & my colleagues and I are ready to deliver on an aspirational affordability agenda and aggressive accountability to lower costs, end the war in Iran, and hold the crooks responsible.

Step one: impeaching Pete Hegseth.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

Millennial optimism, affordability, and accountability are so back.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

Happy Diwali, Delaware! May this Festival of Lights bring joy, peace, prosperity, and bright new beginnings to you and all you love.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

The American people have spoken. Come January, Democrats will hold majorities in Congress, and we will waste no time ensuring that government works for the people once again — not special interests, and certainly not one person.
There is a lot of work ahead, but we’ve already hit the ground running. I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues as we unite to deliver bold solutions that make life more affordable and the American dream more accessible for my fellow Delawareans and working people across the country.

I am heartbroken to wake up to the news of last night's shooting in downtown Newark. What should have been a night of Halloween fun and celebration was instead shattered by senseless gun violence.

My heart is with the six people who were injured, their loved ones, and the entire Newark community.

I am grateful to our local law enforcement officers and emergency personnel who responded so quickly. My team and I are in touch with local officials as we await more information. Those responsible for this violence must be held accountable.

Delaware is a state of neighbors, and we will support the Newark and Blue Hen communities in the aftermath of this tragedy.

Terrible news. I’m glad no one was injured and am grateful for the swift response from our first responders. Thinking of the Lulu Ross community as they look to recover and rebuild.

My friend and colleague @SenLBR has long been an advocate for blood clot awareness and prevention — an issue that is deeply personal to her. I'm proud of her for asking important questions about how the NFL and the Eagles handled Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis.

Raising awareness, encouraging prevention, and demanding accountability can save lives.

[Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester @SenLBR]

I lost my husband, Charles, to blood clots. Yesterday would have been our 20th wedding anniversary.

I know how serious they can be - America should know too.

@NFL owes Eagles fans, and the American people, an explanation for the decisions that put @JalenHurts in harm's way.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

The IDF detained Brad Lander and several other Americans this morning for assisting Palestinian farmers in harvesting olives — a shameful action by the Israeli government that I wholeheartedly condemn. The remaining detainees must be immediately released.

The Israeli government’s actions in the West Bank have increasingly violated international law, while its continued expansion of illegal settlements and failure to stop settler violence have led to the needless loss of life and undermined prospects for lasting peace. The Israeli government must put an end to settlement expansion, hold violent settlers accountable, and respect the rights and dignity of Palestinians living in both the West Bank and Gaza.

The Israeli government must understand that their actions have consequences — and US political leaders must be willing to do more to reinforce that.

I visited Dover Pools, a family-owned, leading pool company in Central Delaware that recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.

It was wonderful to speak with the company’s leadership about their successful experience operating a small business in our state for decades.

Small businesses are the foundation of our state’s economy and communities. As costs rise, we must continue providing entrepreneurs with the resources they need to grow.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

It was an honor to join for the 25th anniversary celebration of Sacred Heart Village I, the Ministry of Caring’s affordable senior housing community in Wilmington.
For years, The Ministry of Caring and Sacred Heart Village I have served the needs of seniors with dignity, and I’m grateful to have them as partners in our shared mission to sustain affordable housing in Delaware.
Seniors built our state, and they deserve to age with security. We will keep working to ensure no one grows old in fear.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

Late Friday, my office was notified that a suspicious letter, similar to those containing an unknown substance received by other congressional offices, was en route to my Wilmington office. Thanks to the proactive efforts of the Wilmington Police Department and U.S. Capitol Police, my staff is safe.

These scare tactics will not intimidate us or stop our work on behalf of Delawareans. My office remains open and ready to assist our neighbors.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

This blatant cozying up to Putin proves yet again that Trump is more than willing to throw Americans and our allies under the bus if it means appeasing his friend.

October is National Retirement Security Month! So, I joined with my friend @TreasurerDavis for some helpful tips on how to plan for retirement. It is never too late to start saving for your future, your way.

Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks, joined by all HFAC Democrats, condemn President Trump’s decision to license Russian diesel purchases and call on Congress to pass the End Russian Oil Windfalls Act.

I visited the Freeman Arts Pavilion, a newly completed venue that will bring educational arts experiences and world-class performances to Sussex County and surrounding regions.

It was great to hear from the Freeman Arts leadership team about their efforts to continue expanding access to arts and cultural programming across our communities, and I’m looking forward to seeing their growth.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

I joined @JohnCarneyDE alongside other state and local leaders to celebrate the new, affordable 0% mortgage homes Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County (HFHNCC) are constructing in Wilmington.

For 40 years, HFHNCC has helped Delawareans build a sustainable pathway to homeownership, and I’m grateful for their dedication to placing our neighbors in safe homes.

[Congresswoman Sarah McBride @Rep_McBride]

Trump cares more about sending his weaponized DOJ after a duly elected member of Congress than he does fixing the issues plaguing his administration.

Rep. Omar is a committed public servant — and I stand with her against this atrocious abuse of power by the president.
