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.

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…

Politicians shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions; you should.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 22(source)

53 years ago, SCOTUS's Roe v. Wade decision affirmed that women have the right to decide what happens to their own bodies. When the Supreme Court reversed Roe, Republicans passed abortion bans in 13 states and made it harder to get abortion care in several more.

I voted NO on the DHS funding bill today. It does not rein in the DHS and ICE abuses that we’re seeing in my district, in Minnesota, and across the country. I refuse to send any more taxpayer dollars to Kristi Noem to misuse.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 22(source)

The White House and Congressional Republicans are trying to rewrite the history of the 2020 election and discredit Jack Smith and his investigation to help the President avoid accountability for his crimes against the American people.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 22(source)

Could it be because of the tariffs, the brutal deployment of ICE to American communities, the cuts to healthcare and SNAP, the general disregard for the rule of law, or all of the above?

Breaking News: Less than a third of voters think the U.S. is better off than it was when President Trump returned to the White House, a New York Times/Siena poll found.

The 30-year high in US measles cases, in one chart

Why the U.S. is on track to lose its measles "elimination status."

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 22(source)

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are demanding oversight of federal agencies. Why? The Republican majority refuses to let Congress do meaningful oversight to root out the real fraud, waste, and abuse, while this White House engages in lawless activity with no transparency for the American people.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 22(source)

The Fourth Amendment isn't optional. In America, the government needs a sworn judicial warrant based on probable cause to enter a person's home. DHS is out of control. Are there no patriots left amongst the Republicans in DC?

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 22(source)

Republicans are in the majority, yet they can't get anything done. It's embarrassing that their leadership canceled votes for two months, blocked their amendments week after week, yet they still roll over and give up on their priorities to pacify the President and the Speaker.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

The President has made $1.4 billion since taking office last year. Do you feel wealthier than when he took office? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion

The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

I can't support any bills that condone the President's war on children and families that cut food assistance, healthcare, and education programs.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

By placing loyalty to Trump above allegiance to the Constitution, the Speaker threatens the independence of the judicial branch and the foundations of our constitutional order.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

Perhaps the Speaker needs to go back to law school. Ruling against a president - any president - is not an impeachable offense. It is the responsibility of each branch to protect and defend the Constitution.

‘I’m for it’: Johnson endorses impeachment for judges who rule against Trump

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

Pennsylvanians spent $1,734 more this past year because of the Trump Administration's reckless economic policies. Instead of making American families pay for Blanket Tariffs and Billionaire Tax Cuts, the Republican majority should focus on lowering their costs.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

I cannot support a bill giving funds to DHS that doesn't rein in masked ICE agents who are terrorizing our communities, tear-gassing babies, going door to door, raiding homes without a warrant, and holding American citizens, even children, at gunpoint.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

More than 30 people have died in DHS custody over the last year. Last weekend, it was one of my constituents. He developed a medical issue and, by all reports other than the DHS official report, was denied medical care that might have saved his life.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

The people should decide elections, and our government should work for all Americans, not just large corporations and the top 1%.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govJan 21(source)

The Citizens United v. FEC decision came out 16 years ago. I introduced the Democracy for All Amendment to reverse Citizens United because billionaires and big businesses have dumped billions of dollars into our elections to buy influence in our government.
