Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Delaware’s at-large district, recently shared her views on several issues via social media posts dated March 13, 2025. The congresswoman addressed concerns regarding resource cuts affecting seniors, the return of federal workers, and preserving the voice of Delaware's constituents.

On March 13, 2025, Rep. Blunt Rochester expressed strong criticism regarding proposed resource cuts for seniors. She argued that "Cutting a vital resource that millions rely on isn't efficiency." The representative contended that these measures would make it harder for seniors to access benefits or lead to benefit cuts in favor of tax reductions for billionaires.

Later the same day, Rep. Blunt Rochester welcomed a decision allowing federal workers to return to their duties but emphasized the importance of recognizing past damages caused by their absence. In her words: "This is a welcome decision, and I'll be glad to see our federal workers back doing the work to keep our communities safe and healthy."

Finally, Rep. Blunt Rochester reaffirmed her commitment to protecting Delaware's representation in government with a concise message: "Delaware, I won't vote to give away your voice."
