Congressman Chris Deluzio, who represents Pennsylvania’s 17th district in the U.S. Congress, used his social media platform over several days in October 2025 to address a range of issues including government corruption, the ongoing government shutdown, and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy.
On October 12, Deluzio wrote: “Our country has real problems that people are mad about. Let’s take on the corruption and more that make life so much worse and expensive for hardworking Americans.”
The following day, he marked a significant military milestone: “Happy 250th birthday to the men and women of the @USNavy! Going to the @NavalAcademy and serving in our Navy was one of the best decisions I ever made—proud to be a part of two and a half centuries of honor, courage, and commitment.” The post referenced both his service at the Naval Academy and his connection to the Navy.
On October 14, Deluzio addressed constituents regarding ongoing political developments: “The Republican government shutdown is hurting folks in Western PA and across the country. I’m down in Washington ready to get to work to re-open the government and stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing—and I’m holding a Telephone Town Hall to talk with you about it.
