💰 We’re working to get big money out of politics. Our bill will stop corporations from using treasury money to influence our elections. Elections should belong to people, not the biggest checkbooks. #MontanaPlan #MoneyOutOfPolitics #CitizensUnited #PApolitics

If you’re struggling to afford child care, you’re not alone, the system hasn’t kept up. Pennsylvania’s child care tax credit is based on outdated costs, even though many families now pay around $15,000 a year for infant care. That means parents can’t claim what they actually spend.

The PA Senate left town without passing a budget. They literally had one job.

🚨🏛️ The Senate had one job: finish the budget. Apparently, that’s future them’s problem…

With PECO Local 614 workers authorizing a strike, HB 2224 sends the right message: prioritize workers, safety, and reliable infrastructure. Not excessive corporate profits. PA families shouldn’t be forced to pay higher utility bills just to PECO’s shareholder profits.

reptarikkhan.bsky.social @reptarikkhan.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
You deserve affordable utility bills. HB 2224 puts families first by curbing excessive utility profits and high corporate profit margins, helping lower costs for households across Pennsylvania.

Too many Pennsylvanians are struggling with addiction We should be expanding access to treatment, not creating barriers. Proud to see the State Govt. Committee unanimously pass my bill to preserve the Gaudenzia treatment campus on Henry Ave. and strengthen access to addiction treatment.

PBMs were supposed to lower costs. Instead, 3 mega corporations now control roughly 80% of the market while prescription drug prices rise and independent pharmacies struggle to survive.

Property taxes are making it harder for many older adults to stay in their homes. Rep. Fiedler's digital ads tax, which passed the #PAHouse, would generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for property tax relief by finally asking Big Tech to pay its fair share.

They voted 82% to form a union. They negotiated their first contract. They ratified it just weeks ago. Now a national anti-union group is trying to break up that union. Something’s not right about that

Our local students didn’t just learn about hunger. They helped write a resolution for the Pennsylvania House. Proud of the students from Norwood-Fontbonne and Chestnut Hill College for stepping up and taking action!

Access to health care shouldn’t depend on your zip code or your bank account. Community health centers level the playing field, and keep our neighbors safe.

Pennsylvania uses two systems to help people with disabilities live at home. When they don’t match, people fall through the cracks. Our bipartisan resolution with Rep. Cerrato finds the gaps and fixes them. It goes up for a vote today in the PA House!

Today in committee, I pressed Human Services Secretary Val Arkoosh on what Washington’s “big beautiful law” is doing here at home. It’s making it harder for families, seniors, and veterans to put food on the table. 59,000 Pennsylvania families have already lost food assistance.

Turning a gorgeous vacant historic building at Broad and Wallace into 70 affordable homes for older adults… This is how Pennsylvania invests in helping people stay in their community! Because Philadelphians should be able to age with dignity.

Proud to be a co-prime sponsor with Reps. Dawkins, Green, Harris, Kenyatta, and Nelson on the Raise the Wage bill, which just passed in the PA House. It lets counties go to $15 and keeps wages tied to the cost of living so workers don’t fall behind. Now it’s on the Senate!!

They told me what’s really happening at Penn State… and why they’re organizing.

When a university suggests unionizing could hurt Penn State, that’s not neutral, and it’s not consistent with its commitment not to use resources to influence the vote. Penn State should take that and other union-busting language down and ensure the neutrality it committed to.

reptarikkhan.bsky.social @reptarikkhan.bsky.social · 24/03/2026
Workers shouldn’t be forced into political, religious, or union-busting meetings at work. And they shouldn’t face retaliation for saying no.

Private equity shouldn’t be cashing in on our hospitals while families skip meals to afford care. Rep. Lisa Borowski and I introduced legislation (HB 1460) to rein it in.

Would you want your loved one in a healthcare facility that isn’t safely staffed? I wouldn’t either. Safe staffing saves lives. Thanks to Health Secretary Debra Bogen for highlighting why these standards matter.

Want to be a nurse, PA, social worker, physical therapist, or architect? Washington’s “Big Beautiful Bill” just made it harder to pay for school and get reimbursed for services. I spoke with John A. Fry about the impact this could have on Temple University and its hospitals.

I asked Labor Secretary Walker today about the $15 minimum wage bill I’m co-priming with Reps. Green and Kenyatta. $7.25 isn’t livable. Raising the wage strengthens workers, supports families, and makes Pennsylvania more competitive.

In Pennsylvania prisons, people earn about 23 cents an hour. A $5 medical co-pay is nearly a week’s wages. That means access to care can depend on whether someone has money in their account. My bill will reduce the co-pay to $1 — keeping accountability in place while removing a real barrier to care.

Pennsylvania must be ready if we see the kind of federal immigration overreach we saw in Minneapolis. Today, I asked AG Dave Sunday whether his office has the tools to protect our state. I’ll keep fighting to make sure everyone can live and exercise their rights without fear.

Pennsylvania can’t compete when our minimum wage is still $7.25. I talked with Secretary Siger about my Bill with Rep Green & Kenyatta to raise PAs wage to $15 immediately— something over 2/3 of Pennsylvanians support.

Houses of worship are sacred spaces. No one should fear ICE while praying or grieving. My bill helps protect them inside and right outside their doors. Religious freedom should mean freedom from fear.
