Congressman Chris Deluzio, who represents Pennsylvania’s 17th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of statements on social media addressing government ethics, economic pressures on families, and concerns regarding veterans’ healthcare leadership.
On August 18, 2025, Deluzio wrote: “Today would be a great day to ban Congressional stock trading. This corruption is rotting our government from the inside.”
The following day, he commented on rising costs for families during the back-to-school season. On August 19, 2025, Deluzio stated: “Back to school season is an exciting time for families—but it’s also expensive. Trump’s trade war & DC Republicans’ budget law are only making it worse. Back to school supplies cost 7.3% more this year, on-average.
The Republicans in full control of Congress should take a break https://t.co/GDNr8ZLeMg“
Later that same day, Deluzio addressed concerns about changes in leadership at VA Pittsburgh: “I’m asking basic questions about why VA Pittsburgh’s senior leaders were removed. I will keep you posted about what I learn from VA’s leadership in Washington.
Our VA needs to be the best for every veteran who’s earned their care.
Chris Deluzio has served as a member of Congress since 2023 after succeeding Conor Lamb as representative of Pennsylvania’s 17th District. Born in Pittsburgh in 1984 and currently residing in Aspinwall, Deluzio has publicly focused on issues such as government transparency and support for veterans throughout his tenure.
