Rosa DeLauro, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, used her social media platform on March 27, 2026, to criticize recent Republican legislative efforts and highlight her engagement with the Ukrainian community in her district.
In a post published at 20:56 UTC, DeLauro challenged claims about the Republican Child Tax Credit proposal. She wrote, “Republicans just claimed that their Child Tax Credit was for working families. Give me a f**king break. Look no further Their CTC leaves behind 17 million kids – that is not a tax cut for working families. 31,000 kids in your district alone are left behind @RepHouchin.”
Shortly after, at 21:04 UTC, DeLauro posted about participating in a cultural event with the Ukrainian community at St. Michael’s Ukrainian Church. She stated, “I was thrilled to join the Ukrainian community at St. Michael’s Ukrainian Church for their decorating of pysanky – Ukrainian Easter eggs which I have long admired. Thank you to Gloria for leading us in this beautiful process & keeping Ukrainian culture strong.”
Minutes later at 21:04 UTC, DeLauro criticized another Republican bill targeting corporations and wealthy individuals. She posted, “Republicans just lied that their Big Beautiful Bill was not a handout to billionaires and corporations. They are robbing you in broad daylight and lying to your face about it. 279 companies have avoided $137 billion in federal income tax on $1 trillion of profit in 2025.”
DeLauro has represented Connecticut’s 3rd District since replacing Bruce Morrison in Congress more than three decades ago and remains an active figure both legislatively and within her local community. Born in New Haven in 1943 and still residing there today, she is known for her advocacy on family tax credits and cultural issues within her constituency.
