Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Delaware's at-large district since 2017, recently shared a series of tweets on February 14, 2025. Her comments covered topics ranging from workforce cuts in housing to aviation opportunities and federal worker support.

On February 14, 2025, Rep. Blunt Rochester expressed concern over proposed cuts to the housing workforce at HUD amidst a housing crisis. She criticized the administration for focusing on creating problems rather than solving them. "This administration wants to cut HALF of our housing workforce at HUD while we are in the middle of a housing crisis. They are solely focused on creating more problems, not solving them."

Later that day, she highlighted the potential for growth in aviation opportunities in Delaware through organizations like DEWGCAP and institutions such as Delaware State University. She expressed enthusiasm about hosting future aviators and supporting initiatives like the Civil Air Patrol. "The @DEWGCAP represents the future of the growing aviation opportunities in Delaware, including at @DelStateUniv. It was great to host these outstanding future aviators in the Capitol this week. I look forward to working in the Senate to support the Civil Air Patrol."

Finally, Rep. Blunt Rochester acknowledged her pride in federal workers and their recent challenges during a meeting with AFGE National District 3 representatives. She reaffirmed her commitment to protecting public servants from chaos and mistreatment they have experienced recently. "I am proud of our federal workers. I've heard from many of them about the unacceptable chaos and mistreatment they've experienced over the past several weeks.

I was glad to meet with @AFGENational District 3 and express my commitment to protecting our dedicated public servants."
