The congresswoman rocking purple hair is Rosa DeLauro, who has represented Connecticut's third congressional district since 1991. Congresswoman DeLauro first began rocking her signature purple locks in 2018, and has had the look ever since. In a tweet at the time, she explained that she had chosen to begin wearing purple to show her support for research into pancreatic cancer.

“I am wearing purple for #WPCD," she wrote on Twitter. "Pancreatic cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related death in CT, and on track to be the same nationwide. I am proud to raise awareness and fight for lifesaving @NIH research, which could unlock the cure to this disease."

Like many who saw President Zelenskyy's speech, DeLauro also took to Twitter in its aftermath to express her continued support for Ukraine as they battle an invasion from Russia.
