Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. They shut down DHS because they refuse to rein in ICE.

As co-chair of the Congressional Foster Youth Caucus, I find the input of foster youth, foster families, and organizations that serve them to be invaluable.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 13(source)

I met with Well Rooted PA, a nonprofit that provides services to meet the needs of foster families and children in PA-05, and learned about its holistic approach and range of services, including housing assistance, mental health resources, transportation, and more.

Main streets are the core of our economy. I toured small businesses in Wayne and the Anthony Wayne Theatre renovation project with state and local officials to learn more about the challenges they are facing in the current economic environment.

Today's attack on Temple Israel, a synagogue in Michigan, is horrifying. Everyone has a right to worship in peace without fear of violence and bigotry. I am praying for all those affected and am thankful for the quick response from law enforcement and first responders.

I enjoyed visiting with high school students participating in the Emerge Youth Leadership Fellowship at UPenn’s Fels Institute to speak about my work as a Member of Congress and how they can be civically engaged.

Republicans in Congress and the White House refused to extend the ACA tax credits and save healthcare for millions of Americans, but they're willing to shovel out BILLIONS for a war in Iran that NOBODY asked for. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...

Thank you to everyone who attended our Lima Estates town hall! I appreciated the opportunity to discuss constituent concerns about the status of the war in Iran, voting and disability rights, and excesses in immigration enforcement. Your input is essential as I represent the voice of PA-05 in DC.

Corporal Timothy O'Connor was senselessly killed in the line of duty in Chester County last night. This is a tragedy for our state, for our law enforcement community. My heart goes out to his loved ones grieving this unthinkable tragedy. www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

Pa. State Trooper shot and killed at Chester Co. traffic stop, officials say

Jesse Nathan Elks shot and killed Pennsylvania State Trooper Timothy O'Connor in Honey Brook, Pa., and then took his own life, officials said.

On International Women's Day, we honor the strength, leadership, and contributions women have made to our world, including those that have gone unseen. We commit to continuing the fight for equity for all women.

Today, I'm thinking of John Lewis and those who had the courage and moral clarity even in the face of danger.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 8(source)

It has been 61 years since Bloody Sunday, the march for voting rights from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, that was stopped by state troopers who beat and tear-gassed marchers. That day’s violence generated outrage across our country, which was a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement.

Ever since my children were small, I've loved reading with kids! I celebrated Read Across America Day at DCIU with Early Childhood Education learners who did their best to make a Serious Goose laugh, making funny faces, silly voices, and even dinosaur sounds!

My statement on Secretary Noem's firing:

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 5(source)

This administration is willing to spend billions sending Americans to war, but when veterans return and need a doctor's visit, "money's too tight." Our veterans are suffering because this administration is cutting funding and jobs for those who provide medical care. They deserve better.

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govMar 5(source)

The White House has not explained why it started a war with Iran, and Senate Republicans haven’t demanded any answers. They're letting the President's bombing campaign continue, which will cost Americans billions and, as administration officials have said, likely more American lives.

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

DHS's federal agents shot and killed two Americans in Minnesota. ICE and CBP shouldn't get another cent from American Taxpayers until there's accountability. Republicans on the Rules Committee refused to vote for an amendment to fund all of DHS except ICE and CBP because they don't care.
