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.

I'm joining my @democrats-judiciary.house.gov colleagues to demand access to the Homan tapes. The White House shouldn't be bought and paid for, and the American people deserve to know if the administration can be bribed with cash.

White House knew Homan had accepted $50K to influence contracts. They appointed him anyways. Then they disbanded the DOJ's Public Integrity unit and quashed the Homan investigation. There's no end to the corruption in Trump's White House. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

RFK Jr.'s vaccine panel withdrew MMRV vaccines for children under 4, compromising life-saving preventative care for uninsured children. I'm demanding stronger guardrails for HHS by cosponsoring the Family Vaccine Protection Act so all Americans have access to vaccines. www.wsj.com/health/rfk-j...
RFK Jr.-Backed Panel Advises Against MMRV Combo Vaccine for Young Children
New members of a key committee tweak routine childhood vaccine guidance as some states and insurers go their own way.

You can take the data away, but you can't change the facts. Rising grocery costs, slashing SNAP benefits, and struggling food banks are all the result of the Trump Administration's policies. Americans don't need numbers to tell them when their stomachs are growling.

The Trump administration is ending a decades-long effort to track food security, calling it “politicized,” at a time when many Americans are struggling to get proper nutrition or enough to eat.

I was grateful to meet with CAIR Philadelphia and constituents from across PA-05 for a thoughtful discussion on the war in Gaza, discrimination faced by our Muslim neighbors, and attacks on free speech by the Trump Administration.

I stood with the Pennsylvania delegation on the House Floor to honor the fallen and injured officers in York County as a result of gun violence. Our entire state mourns the loss of these brave first responders and is devastated for their families.

Moshannon Valley Processing Center denied me entry when I tried to conduct Congressional oversight after hearing allegations of abuse and excessive force. ICE is not going after the worst of the worst. They've detained people trying to follow the law, which is unacceptable.

In Pennsylvania’s largest immigrant detention center, detainees report violence, desperation, and little oversight. We take you inside the increasingly crowded Moshannon Valley Processing Center.

WPSU, which serves Penn State & 24 rural PA communities, will be the first NPR & PBS affiliate to shut down in the country. We're losing an organization that provides public media & emergency broadcasting capabilities to a lot of our state due to the Trump Administration's federal funding cuts.

WPSU is set to be the first in the country to go dark after the Trump administration stripped away federal funding for NPR and PBS. “The news devastated me, it devastated all the employees,” said Jeff Hughes, WPSU’s former program director.

Private insurers are requesting that they increase their rates by 19%. Healthcare costs across my district and country are going up because of the damage from the White House and the OBBB that passed earlier this year.
