Rosa DeLauro represents Connecticut 3rd; ranking member of House Appropriations.
Rosa Luisa DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat, receives support from Defense industry donors, though her voting record shows mixed alignment with their interests.
On Defense-related votes, she voted no on four measures her donors favored and yes on two they supported. She kept 7 of 14 graded promises (50 percent), including 1 fully broken promise: raising the federal minimum wage to $15. That pledge remains unfulfilled. She also has 6 partially kept commitments.
The gap between her stated support for a $15 minimum wage and the lack of legislative success on that goal is notable—whether due to her effort, chamber dynamics, or shifting priorities is unclear from voting records alone. Her defense votes suggest she prioritizes other concerns over donor preferences in that sector.
We don't yet have details on which other promises are partial versus kept, or the dollar amounts of her top donor categories beyond defense ties.
