Congresswoman Suzan DelBene spoke about her efforts in office Thursday at the Northshore Rotary's annual luncheon at The Inglewood Golf Club.

"It's honor to be here today in this beautiful city," DelBene said. "Kenmore is new, but growing at an exciting pace."

Attendees included Greater Bothell Chamber members, Kenmore City Council members and Kenmore Air employees. Many thanked DelBene for her efforts in helping the city of Kenmore receive funding to conduct maintenance dredging of the city's navigation channel.

Kenmore received $440,000 from the United States Army Corps of Engineers last month to start the project. DelBene consistently called on the Obama Administration to provide funding.

A significant amount of local commerce and business depend on the navigation channel to move goods and supplies by barge. Without regular maintenance to the channel, transportation networks relying on the channel are disrupted and the transportation costs go up, according to Nancy Ousley, assistant city manager for Kenmore.

DelBene discussed her progress for the House of Judiciary Committee she serves on. As part of the Judiciary Committee, DelBene is at the center of a number of issues important to the residents of Washington’s 1st District including protecting civil liberties, tackling immigration reform and intellectual property law. The committee also has oversight responsibilities for the Departments of Justice.
