SC Connecticut News

Rosa DeLauro, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut's 3rd District since 1991, recently shared her views on several pressing issues via social media. Born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1943 and a graduate of Marymount College, DeLauro has been an influential figure in American politics for decades.

On January 29, 2025, DeLauro expressed concerns about the economic impact of a funding freeze initiated by former President Trump. In her tweet, she stated: "Americans are struggling with the high cost of living. Trump's funding freeze does nothing to help. It makes childcare, housing, home-heating, & food more expensive by locking people out of programs that cut costs." She further emphasized her commitment to challenging this action legally.

Later that day, DeLauro commemorated the first anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act without its namesake advocate. On January 29th she tweeted: "On the first anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act without my dear friend Lilly, we honor her legacy and continue the fight for equal pay." Her message underscored ongoing efforts toward wage equality for women in America.

In another post from January 29th, DeLauro criticized actions by President Trump and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). She alleged: "Translation: Pres. Trump & OMB are still actively working to steal American taxpayers' money that is promised to communities across the country & will stop at nothing to increase the cost of living for hardworking Americans & undermine our national security at home and abroad."
