About Suzan

Congresswoman DelBene takes on a wide range of challenges both in Congress and in the 1st District. When the I-5 Bridge collapsed in May 2013, Congresswoman DelBene fought to secure emergency funding to immediately rebuild the bridge and help ensure that the Skagit Valley stayed open for business. And in the aftermath of the mudslide in Oso, DelBene worked to ensure the federal government did everything possible to help victims, their families, and all those affected by one of Washington’s worst natural disasters.
