Congressman Chris Deluzio, representing Pennsylvania's 17th district, has been vocal on various issues through his social media presence. His recent tweets address significant topics such as campaign finance reform, reproductive rights, and military service recognition.
On January 21, 2025, Congressman Deluzio reflected on the impact of a Supreme Court decision made fifteen years ago. He stated that the ruling allowed "unrestricted corporate and dark money to corrupt our elections," emphasizing his belief that political power should rest with the people rather than those with substantial financial resources. "The people should have the power in our politics, not those with the deepest wallets that can flood elections with money."
The following day, January 22, 2025, he commented on another Supreme Court decision from 1973 concerning Roe v. Wade. Deluzio expressed disappointment over the court's recent actions regarding abortion rights: "It’s shameful that the Court took this freedom away from so many women and families." He pledged to continue advocating for keeping politicians out of personal healthcare decisions.
Later on January 22, Congressman Deluzio shared an update about a meeting with Jordan Foley in Washington. He acknowledged Foley's background as a fellow Naval Academy graduate and his connection to Shady Side Academy in Pennsylvania's 17th district. Deluzio praised Foley for his work as a Defense Fellow on Capitol Hill and recognized Western Pennsylvania's tradition of military service: "Great to see Jordan working on Capitol Hill as a Defense Fellow & continuing Western PA's tradition of proud military service."
