Rosa DeLauro, a seasoned politician representing Connecticut's 3rd district in the U.S. Congress since 1991, took to social media on April 10, 2025, to voice her support and concerns about various issues. Drawing upon her extensive experience in congressional matters, her posts addressed topics such as global nutrition, Parkinson's awareness, and voting rights.

In a tweet from April 10 at 17:03 UTC, DeLauro expressed her enthusiasm about attending an event focused on American-made Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTFs), like Life Pack. "I was excited to attend an event on American-made Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTFs), like Life Pack – a vital resource fighting global hunger." She underscored the significance of agencies like USAID, highlighting how investments in nutrition contribute to saving lives, boost the economy, and enhance national security.

On the same day at 18:14 UTC, DeLauro marked April as Parkinson's Awareness Month, emphasizing the importance of unity in raising awareness for the nearly one million Americans affected by the disease. "April is Parkinson's Awareness Month, a time where we unite to raise awareness for the nearly 1M Americans living with Parkinson’s." She affirmed her dedication to support research funding aimed at advancing towards a future without Parkinson's disease, urging continued collaborative efforts.

Later that evening, at 21:53 UTC, DeLauro criticized a newly passed bill by Republicans, which she claimed imposes financial barriers to voting. "Republicans just passed a voter suppression bill that could force Americans to pay up to $130 to vote." DeLauro argued against these measures, advocating instead for increased accessibility to voting, devoid of monetary constraints.

Rosa DeLauro, born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1943, has steadfastly served in Congress, consistently dedicating her efforts toward issues like health, economic security, and voting rights.
