Dwight Evans is a U.S. Representative from Philadelphia, serving Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District since 2016. Raised in North Philadelphia, Dwight has dedicated his life to revitalizing underserved neighborhoods and advocating for economic development, education, and urban renewal. In Congress, he has championed efforts to combat hunger, end food deserts, and expand access to quality jobs and schools, continuing his long-standing commitment to lifting up communities and ensuring every Philadelphian has the opportunity to thrive.
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.
