If you’ve committed a crime, you shouldn’t just get to walk because you’re friends with the President. I introduced the No Free Passes for Cronies Act to end the corruption. No more backroom deals. No more special favors. No more free passes.

Director Patel outrageously violated both the First and Fourth Amendments by trying to retaliate against a reporter for bringing to light his own misconduct. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

If Kash Patel's "personal issues" are getting in the way of his ability to do his job and protect the American people, we deserve to know.

PHS distributes and plants hundreds of trees across local neighborhoods in the greater Philadelphia region as a part of its commitment to promote healthier, greener communities.

BREAKING: @scanlon.house.gov has introduced new legislation to put a check on the President’s influence over the prosecution of his partners in crime. Tell your Rep. to support the No Free Passes for Cronies Act today! #news #politics #congress #trump #corruption

Americans deserve an FBI director who doesn't compromise our national security. I'm joining @democrats-judiciary.house.gov to investigate concerning allegations about alcohol abuse by FBI Director Kash Patel, which may be interfering with his ability to do his job - protecting the American people.

Kash Patel's alleged habitual alcohol abuse poses a huge risk to national security. For the sake of our country's safety, Judiciary Dems are demanding the FBI Director cooperate with their investigation or be required to testify before the Committee.

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

I introduced legislation with @davids.house.gov to eliminate federal rules that reduce Social Security payments for low-income seniors & those with disabilities who receive help from their loved ones, because what may be a smaller reduction for the government has a large impact on seniors' budgets.

Social Security benefits could change for hundreds of thousands in new bill

The bill would eliminate a rule that can reduce monthly payments for recipients who receive help from family or friends.

No President should be able to use the DOJ to give his supporters free passes if they commit crimes. The DOJ's recent move to overturn convictions of leaders of the violent January 6 attack cannot go unchallenged. I introduced the No Free Passes for Cronies Act to end this corruption. Read more:

Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution. This decision is a win for all Pennsylvanians. The government shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions - you should. www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

Pa. court recognizes ‘reproductive autonomy’ as a right, strikes down ban on public funding for abortion

In a 4-3 ruling, the Commonwealth Court found that abortion access is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Delco high school history instructor named nation's Teacher of the Year

Forty-six-year-old Leon Smith, who has spent his entire 25-year career at Haverford High School, has been named the 2026 National Teacher of the Year.

I am so proud to honor PA-05's very own Leon Smith from Haverford High School, who was named the 2026 National Teacher of the Year! Leon Smith teaches AP U.S. history and AP African American studies, encouraging civic engagement and shaping the minds of our future leaders!

The Trump administration is paying a French company $1 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars after canceling their offshore wind projects. This administration will pay through the nose to make your ENERGY COSTS GO UP. It's MADNESS!

Their work, educating people on "maternal early warning signs," is vital to lowering maternal mortality and racial disparities in maternal healthcare.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govApr 20(source)

I celebrated Black Maternal Health Week with the Foundation for Delaware County's Healthy Start team! They brought together dozens of partners to provide information and resources to parents and expectant mothers in Delco.

Someone is getting rich off this war - but it's not the American people.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govApr 18(source)

Once again, Trump announced a pause in his war with Iran on Friday. Oil prices drop, and the stock market surges, until reality sets in. Iran denies that there is a deal and is now firing on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. All shipping is stopped.

Iran’s military announced it has closed the Strait of Hormuz again just a day after the country declared the waterway open, decrying the U.S. blockade and leaving the status of the vital waterway unclear.

We need to do a better job of providing high-quality childcare and pre-K to ensure the long-term success of our children, our workforce, and our nation.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govApr 17(source)

I had a blast reading with the kids when I visited KenCrest West Early Learning Center to celebrate the Week of the Young Child! I was very impressed with the vibrant and supportive atmosphere that the dedicated staff has created for the families and community they serve.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govApr 17(source)

We need to pass the Dignity for Detainees Act to stop our government from detaining immigrants (the majority of whom have no criminal records) in dangerous, unsanitary, and inhumane detention centers.
