Mary Gay Scanlon is a committed advocate for children and families, serving as Congresswoman for Pennsylvania’s 5th District. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, she fights to protect rights and push back against attacks on American freedoms. Mary Gay has worked to secure local jobs, advance equal rights, and bring federal resources back to Pennsylvania.
In Washington, the majority party in Congress dictates the bills and spending that help or hurt Pennsylvania. Under the current Republican majority, we’ve seen repeated attempts to undermine vital programs like Social Security and Medicare, along with threats of government shutdowns that put critical services at risk. Instead of focusing on the needs of working families, Republicans have prioritized tax cuts for the wealthy and blocked essential economic relief measures.
When Democrats held the majority, they delivered significant progress for Pennsylvanians, including passing a vital pandemic relief package, a historic bipartisan infrastructure bill, the first gun safety legislation in decades, and the Inflation Reduction Act to lower costs, create jobs, and grow the economy. In contrast, the current Republican majority is doubling down on policies that worsen income inequality, fail to address rising costs, attack reproductive rights, and block comprehensive solutions on immigration.
To continue moving Pennsylvania forward, we need a Democratic majority in Congress that prioritizes lowering costs, protecting rights, and building an economy that works for everyone.
