Lisa Blunt Rochester, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Delaware's at-large district, recently shared her views on social media regarding Republican fiscal proposals. Before entering Congress in 2017, Rochester replaced John Carney. Born in Philadelphia and a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University, she has actively participated in legislative discussions, particularly around social and economic policies.

On April 3, 2025, Blunt Rochester expressed concerns about Republican tax policies, stating: "We're waiting on Senate Republicans to figure out how they want to push through their massive billionaire tax cut. They're worried because so many of you have raised your voice and stood up to their efforts to rob Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Keep it up."

The following day, April 4, 2025, she announced her next steps regarding the Republican budget proposal: "I'm headed to the Senate Floor to speak on my amendment aimed at preventing this harmful Republican budget from raising material costs and making our housing crisis worse. Tune in."

Later that day, Rochester recounted her legislative activity, mentioning her attempts to amend the budget bill: "I just offered an amendment to this terrible Republican budget bill to keep housing costs from skyrocketing. My colleagues and I won't stop trying to lessen the blow of this bad budget on American families. Stay tuned, it's going to be a long night."
