Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Pennsylvania’s 1st district, shared insights about the Delaware River and his legislative efforts through a series of tweets on March 3, 2025. Fitzpatrick, who has been in office since 2017, highlighted the significance of natural resources and public health initiatives.

In a tweet posted on March 3, 2025, Fitzpatrick emphasized the importance of the Delaware River to the PA-1 community: "Our PA-1 community is home to some of our nation’s most remarkable natural resources, but none more vital than the Delaware River."

On the same day, he further elaborated on the river's economic and environmental impact: "It’s not just a waterway—it’s the lifeblood of our economy, our environment, and our communities, fueling a $22 billion economy, supporting 600,000 jobs, and providing clean drinking water to 15 million Americans." He mentioned ongoing efforts with the Delaware River Basin Restoration Program.

Later that day, Fitzpatrick addressed his commitment to food safety and public health: "Since coming to Congress, I have made it my mission to advocate for stronger food safety measures... Prevention starts with knowledge..." He announced "The Wellness Watch," a new initiative aimed at enhancing public awareness.
