Rosa DeLauro, U.S. Congresswoman representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, announced on January 27, 2026, that she secured federal funding for local infrastructure and highlighted ongoing community initiatives through a series of social media posts.

Later that day at 17:35 UTC, DeLauro used her platform to promote an event focused on healthcare enrollment support. She wrote: “Mark your Calendar!

At 20:20 UTC on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, DeLauro addressed the importance of combating discrimination worldwide. Her post read: “On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor and mourn the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world.
