After some discussions this weekend and thoughtful reflection, I have decided that the time is right to announce that I will not be seeking re-election in 2026. I remain in good health and will serve out the full term that ends Jan. 3, 2027.

poll after poll shows that Trump's big bill is very unpopular
Reposted byCongressman Dwight Evans
The Senate quietly stripped veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and young people who recently aged out of foster care of their current exemptions from SNAP's harsh work requirement. CBO estimates this change alone would cut 270,000 people off SNAP. thehill.com/opinion/cong...

The most unpopular policy in this deeply unpopular bill, including among Republicans? "Reducing federal funding for food assistance to low-income households."
#ProtectSNAP
Reposted byCongressman Dwight Evans
This bill slashes SNAP by roughly 20%, an unprecedented cut to a program that helps 40+ million low-income people afford groceries. It would take food away from kids, parents, seniors, people with disabilities, veterans & others. The Senate must reject it. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

CHILDRENS HOSPITAL ASSN ON GOP BUDGET
"a crisis for children's health care, hospitals, and providers"
"your child – regardless of their insurance status – could see the services they rely on reduced or eliminated
"fewer doctors & nurses to see your child, longer wait times, and sicker children"
Reposted byCongressman Dwight Evans
Right now, no one knows:
-how large the Medicaid cuts are
-how many people will lose health insurance
-how large the tax cuts are
-who wins/loses by how much
-how much it adds to the deficit
Rs are going at lightning speed BECAUSE they want to pass the “big beautiful bill” before anyone knows

The reconciliation bill the US Senate is rushing to pass will hurt Pennsylvanians.
It will rip away health care and SNAP benefits for folks who need them most and threaten rural hospitals and our energy industry.
The bill will damage Pennsylvania and I urge a vote against it.

That ought to do it
Senator Mitch McConnell is simply out of touch. The 16 MILLION Americans who will lose their health care won’t just “get over it.”
That includes over 250,000 Pennsylvanians! I voted NO on the Big Billionaires Bill & I’ll vote NO again if it comes back from the Senate!

Today is #NationalHIVTestingDay! Getting tested is the only way to know your status. Here are the many ways you can get tested for free in Philly. ow.ly/LhTo50WfHal
Since Trump returned to office, I hear constantly from my constituents about what is happening at Social Security.
I proudly spoke on their behalf at yesterday's @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social hearing and reminded Commissioner Bisignano what this EARNED benefit means to millions of Americans.
Hey Congressional Republicans! As a witness said to me during yesterday’s @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social health hearing: “My first suggestion would be to go back to the drawing board and try again on a different budget bill that doesn’t result in millions of people losing their health insurance.”
Today, we celebrate #EqualityDay and the landmark SCOTUS decisions in Lawrence, Windsor, & Obergefell!
As we mark these anniversaries, let's recommit to fighting for the Equality Act, to enshrine explicit protections for the LGBTQ+ community into federal law.
While Trump is already cutting funding from the VA & restricting veterans' benefits, the House GOP’s MilCon/VA bill cuts even MORE from veterans’ health care, education, housing, and food assistance.
I proudly voted NO on this funding bill & will continue to stand with our vets.
Yet another Republican member of Congress admitting Trump’s #ReverseRobinHood bill *WOULD* cut Medicaid and hurt rural hospitals, and nursing homes in cities, suburbs AND rural areas. #KillTheBill
Today marks three years since the cruel Dobbs decision overturned #RoevWade.
As the consequences of this decision grow and the GOP assault on health care continues, I’m proud to support the Women’s Health Protection Act & fight to protect reproductive health care for all.
Pennsylvanians won't "get over it." Over 250,000 Pennsylvanians stand to lose their Medicaid coverage under the bill. And at least 5 PA rural hospitals, not to mention PA nursing homes, would be at risk of closing.
Congressman Evans voted in favor of impeachment (by casting a No vote on tabling the motion).

Bipartisan agreement! Even the DOGE bot gets it: What the Trump administration is doing at Social Security isn’t about efficiency or transparency- it’s about hiding their own catastrophic mistakes.
