Pedestrians and non-motorists make up 55% of the people killed in traffic crashes in Philly. I introduced the Pedestrian Protection Act to establish federal safety standards for vehicles that would reduce traffic-related fatalities among pedestrians & bicyclists, and better protect our communities.

Fewer motorists are dying in Philadelphia traffic crashes, but peril remains for pedestrians and cyclists

A majority, or 55%, of people killed in Philadelphia traffic crashes last year were pedestrians, cyclists and other non-motorists, the analysis found.

I met with the good folks at Teacher Teammates in Folcroft, a nonprofit on a mission to collect and distribute classroom materials to teachers across Delco working in under-resourced schools.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, we recognize how often teachers go above and beyond, even digging into their own pockets to ensure that every student in their classrooms has the school supplies that they need.

It shouldn't be too much to ask the President not to act like an out-of-control middle schooler:

So much fun to read a silly story about a Serious Goose with the Pre-K students at The Children’s Ark at St. George! Expanding access to quality child care is essential to economic growth and opportunity across our community.

We talked about the impact on our community and how Congress should act as a check and balance to correct course for the country.

Thank you to the public servants, engaged citizens, veterans, &child advocates who attended my Office Hours event to discuss their concerns about the President's war in Iran, skyrocketing gas prices, cuts to federal programs, health coverage and research, & attacks on the rule of law by this admin.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, PA-05! Today, we celebrate and reflect on the resilience, contributions, and impact of our Mexican American community!

Once again proving that your budget reflects your values, Senate GOP files a reconciliation bill to give over $70 BILLION to ICE and CBP, and another BILLION to Trump ballroom, but NOTHING for healthcare, housing, child care, or anything else that would lower costs for American families.

Senate GOP unveils $72 billion proposal to fund ICE, Border Patrol through 2029

Trump and Hegseth ignored experts - and reality - when they started the war with Iran. Their bad choices raised your gas prices. www.wsj.com/economy/cons...

Americans Spent $125 Million More on Gas Friday Than They Did a Week Ago

A 33-cent jump in the price of regular gasoline in a single week is hitting wallets fast, with the summer driving season still ahead.

@raskin.house.gov and I are investigating whistleblower reports that DOJ lawyers were pressured to indict the civil rights organization despite having serious reservations about the strength of the case.

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

DOJ rushed indictment of SPLC, according to whistleblower reports

After a whistleblower expressed concerns about the strength of the case against the civil rights organization, members of Congress have questions for prosecutors.

Yesterday, the House passed an amendment to the Farm Bill that would allow hot rotisserie chickens to be covered by SNAP, but it doesn't go far enough. We need to pass @meng.house.gov's Hot Foods Act, so Americans on SNAP can have access to more hot foods!
