Biography & Current Office
Background & current office
Rosa DeLauro is a Democrat representing Connecticut’s 3rd Congressional District and has served in the House since 1991. Her official biography describes earlier work as chief of staff to Senator Christopher Dodd and as the first executive director of EMILY’s List.
The House Appropriations Committee lists DeLauro as the committee’s ranking member. She also serves as ranking member on the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations subcommittee, giving her a central role in House Democratic appropriations work.
In 2026 DeLauro introduced the bipartisan Infant Formula Safety Modernization Act following a botulism outbreak and separately introduced the SOAR Act with Reps. Greg Casar and Eugene Vindman on student-loan repayment. Those measures are recorded as sponsored policy work rather than as a claim assessment.
