They have already returned $360,000 to constituents from federal agencies.\n\nMonthly, the constituent advocate team sends a casework survey to all constituents that have recently closed cases. In all of this work, they have maintained a 100% satisfaction rate from constituents. Constituents from across the state have submitted feedback:\n\n\u201cI was amazed at how promptly I got a response, as I can only imagine how busy a Congresswoman's office is.

Best wishes to you and Congresswoman McBride.\u201d\n\nRep. McBride\u2019s team remains committed to making government work for every Delawarean.\n\nGrounded in Delaware:\n\nRep. McBride has spent every day she\u2019s not in Washington on the road in Delaware\u2014meeting with seniors in community centers, small business owners, farmers, coastal mayors, and health care advocates. She\u2019s clocked over 3,000 miles on the road since being elected to ensure that she\u2019s meeting with Delawareans from all walks of life.\n\n\u201cWhether I\u2019m meeting with a tech startup in Magnolia or a grandmother at a senior center in Dover, I\u2019m focused on listening to Delawareans\u2014and bringing their voices with me to Congress,\u201d said McBride.\n\nThat includes visits to:\n\nSenior centers and care facilities across Sussex, Kent and New Castle Counties\n\nFarmers impacted by avian flu, helping shape bipartisan legislation\n\nUniversity of Delaware\u2019s School of Marine Science and Policy campus\n\nSmall businesses tackling health disparities like Do Care Doula Foundation\n\nSmall businesses like SUMURI, a forensics company on Main Street in Magnolia\n\nHospitals including Nemours, Bayhealth, Christiana Care, TidalHealth Nanticoke\n\nDelaware\u2019s federally qualified health clinics\n\nDover Air Force Base\n\nLocal coastal communities with mayors, focused on building climate-resilient communities\n\nIn DC, Rep.

Delawareans visited her office to advocate against funding cuts by the Trump administration. Incredible Delawareans from the Special Olympics, the Delaware Federation of the Blind, Keep Delaware Beautiful and so many others came to share their stories. Importantly, doctors, patients and caregivers joined in the hundreds to advocate against cuts to Medicaid.\n\n\u201cMore than anything, I\u2019m focused on delivering results while reining in the worst excesses of the Trump Administration,\u201d McBride added. \u201cThat includes calling out the withholding of $10 million from Delaware farmers, nearly 1 million meals from our food banks, and Medicaid that working families depend on. We\u2019ve made progress\u2014but there\u2019s much more to do.\u201d\n\n###\n\nDelaware\u2019s Congresswoman Sarah McBride serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and its Subcommittees on Europe and on Oversight & Intelligence, she also serves on the House Space, Science and Technology Committee and its subcommittee on Research and Technology.
