Rosa DeLauro, U.S. Congresswoman representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, addressed a range of topics on her social media account on September 17, 2025, including family leave policy, Constitution Day, and the closure of PosiGen’s operations in Connecticut.
In a post at 18:35 UTC, DeLauro shared commentary from an advocacy group director: “Why is the FAMILY Act needed? @PaidLeaveforAll’s Director @dhuckelbridge explains: https://t.co/odAAKmQtNo”.
Later that day at 19:09 UTC, she acknowledged Constitution Day with a message directed at specific public figures: “Happy Constitution Day, to everyone, especially President Trump and Russ Vought. https://t.co/XKBOSCsPAj https://t.co/A9UHB9tDWu”.
At 20:32 UTC, DeLauro commented on recent job losses in her home state following the closure of a clean energy company: “The closure of PosiGen’s operations in CT and the loss of nearly 80 jobs is just the latest casualty of Trump’s policies.Â
The administration’s reckless & destructive attacks on clean energy continue to cost working families – lost jobs and higher electric bills.”
DeLauro was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1943 and continues to reside there. She holds a BA from Marymount College, Tarrytown (graduated in 1964). Before beginning her tenure in Congress by succeeding Bruce Morrison in 1991, she was already active in local politics.
Connecticut has experienced significant changes within its clean energy sector amid broader national debates about environmental policy. The FAMILY Act mentioned by DeLauro has been under discussion as part of ongoing efforts to expand paid family leave nationwide.
