Rosa DeLauro, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut's 3rd district since 1991, recently took to social media to share her thoughts on various topics of public interest. Her posts reflect her ongoing commitment to children's advocacy, veterans' healthcare, and public service.

On November 19, 2024, DeLauro congratulated the South Carolina Action Network for its decade-long advocacy efforts. She stated: "Congratulations @SCActionNetwork for a remarkable ten years of powerful advocacy on behalf of the world’s children! Thank you for showing up & speaking out for our kids." She emphasized the unifying nature of fighting for children's welfare and expressed her dedication to bipartisan policies aimed at improving their lives.

The following day, November 20, 2024, DeLauro highlighted her commitment alongside fellow Appropriations Democrats to veteran healthcare. In a tweet posted that morning she said: "My @AppropsDems colleagues and I are committed to providing our veterans with the health care they have earned and deserve." She invited followers to join a hearing discussing funding promised by Congress for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances.

Later that day, DeLauro paid tribute to Rep. Barbara Lee through another tweet where she quoted Shirley Chisholm: "Shirley Chisholm said that public service is the rent we pay for the privilege of life on Earth." Expressing admiration for Lee's dedication to public service, she remarked on their shared experience serving the American people together.
