Mary Gay Scanlon

Mary Gay Scanlon is an American attorney and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, she has represented Pennsylvania's 5th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives since 2019. The district is based in Delaware County, a mostly suburban county west of Philadelphia, and also includes a southwestern portion of Philadelphia itself as well as slivers of Chester and Montgomery counties. Scanlon spent the final two months of 2018 as the member for Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district. She was elected to both positions on November 6, 2018. That day, she ran in a special election in the old 7th to serve out the term of her predecessor, Pat Meehan, and in a regular election for a full…

The Constitution reserves the right to administer elections to Pennsylvania and the other states, not the federal government. If the President tries to interfere in our elections, he'll lose in court just like he did every time he tried to push false claims of fraud in the 2020 election.

‘Take a look at Philadelphia’: Trump threatens to nationalize elections ahead of 2026 midterms

“The federal government should get involved." Trump said as he continues to push false claims about his loss in the 2020 election.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 4(source)

We also commit to ensuring that the current administration does not erase our shared American history, including the horrors of slavery and segregation, particularly at our cradle of liberty, Independence Hall.

Abrupt removal of President's House slavery exhibits was pulling 'pages out of a history book with a razor'

In court Friday, the city demanded the federal government return the displays, but a judge needed more time to make a ruling.

During Black History Month, we honor the resilience, resounding impact, and hard-earned victories of Black Americans.

Americans are paying the President's tariffs. If tariff revenues are down, it's because Americans are spending less. Reverse the tariffs. Increase affordability.

The country’s tariff revenues have plateaued. The latest daily figures suggest that January’s haul will be the lowest since September

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 3(source)

I will not be voting for Donald Trump's spending package today. The American people deserve a Congress that holds this administration accountable.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 3(source)

I cannot justify writing Kristi Noem and DHS a blank check for two more weeks after federal agents have repeatedly committed abuses against the American people using their taxpayer dollars.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 3(source)

If the White House and Kristi Noem won't do anything to end the militant, violent, and lawless behavior of ICE and CBP, then Congress must.

The manufacturing boom President Trump promised would usher in a golden age for America is going in reverse.

The pro-Hamas rally at Rittenhouse Square yesterday was a horrific display of antisemitism and hatred. All Philadelphians must stand together to reject all forms of bigotry and any calls to violence in our community.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 2(source)

The American people want an immediate end to the violence, lawlessness, and chaos caused by ICE. I cannot vote for a bill package that would write ICE a blank check for two weeks with the unrealistic hope that anything would change.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 2(source)

If anyone can be labeled a domestic terrorist for speech opposing this administration, our First Amendment rights are under grave threat. I spoke to @nickturse.bsky.social about how, using NSPM-7, the Trump administration is trying to silence and intimidate those who speak out against its excesses.

“If we’re going to say it’s OK to kill so-called terrorists in the Caribbean, for actions that have traditionally been dealt with as a criminal matter, using due process — what’s to say you can’t do the same in an American city?” asked @scanlon.house.gov theintercept.com/2026/02/02/t...

5-year-old Liam is not the worst, nor is his father. Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and the President are the ones running the violent charade we're seeing on American streets.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 2(source)

This administration has slashed programs and gutted staff that serve our Veterans. I spoke on the House floor in support of the National Women's Relief Corps because organizations that support our veterans are more critical than ever.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal record, yet they are deprived of liberty and treated like felons. I conducted congressional oversight at the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center after one of my constituents died in ICE custody there. whyy.org/articles/ice...

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon says ICE detainees are treated like ‘federal prisoners’ at Philadelphia detention center

Scanlon, who represents Delco and parts of Philly and Montco, conducted congressional oversight of the facility after one of her constituents died in ICE custody.

I wanted to better understand the struggles they face in the wake of cuts by DC Republicans to Medicaid and other critical health care funding.

I toured Penn Medicine Presbyterian Trauma Center with staff from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to learn about the important work of these renowned Level One Trauma centers.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 1(source)

There is no explanation for how Liam (and others) have been treated - unless cruelty and terror are the point.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govFeb 1(source)

I’m thankful that Liam and his father are getting the justice they deserve. And kudos to the court for following the law and calling out the administration’s “lust for unbridled power and imposition of cruelty…bereft of human decency.”

Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who was detained by federal agents while wearing a Spider-Man backpack and a blue bunny hat, is back home in Minnesota, a statement from his school district said on Sunday. A federal judge had demanded that the boy and his father be set free a day earlier.

The Senate needs to pass the House’s bipartisan 3-year ACA tax credit extension - now.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 31(source)

It was heartbreaking to hear that parents are cancelling their own healthcare to afford coverage for their children.
