Our democracy thrives when every eligible voter is able to participate, and these bills will remove barriers that too often make it more difficult for American citizens to vote. @replsimon.bsky.social @repdean.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @sylviagarcia.house.gov

Proud to stand with @RepLouCorrea in demanding answers from Trump Administration officials about the legal process to which unaccompanied migrant children are subjected and the quality of their legal representation.

The President is spending YOUR tax dollars without permission. Swipe to see what you're footing the bill for.

My constituent service team works hard to resolve the issues PA-05's veterans and active-duty service members are having with federal agencies. We were able to help a constituent get specialized equipment for their school programming! Need help with a federal agency? Call my office at (610) 626-2020

This antique silk piece is rarely exhibited because of its fragile condition, so thank you to the Delaware County Historical Society for making it available for public viewing.

Delco Downhill Derby had to be canceled due to downpour, but diehard soapbox derby creators tested their vehicles before roads were reopened to regular traffic. Thank you, Delco Historical Society and Media Rotary, for reviving this Media tradition.

Each and every one of us has the right and responsibility to cast a ballot in November. Do not let these snake oil salesmen take away your power to make your voice heard.

President Trump and his allies can no longer hide the fact that they have put their own financial and political interests above those of the American people. They don't want to hear the verdict of Americans come November, because Americans are rejecting their corruption, chaos and cruelty.

In the United States of America, we bend the knee to NO KINGS, and worship no thrones nor golden statues. We revere our rights and liberties, key among those being our right to vote.

The efforts of women like June forever changed societal perceptions of women in the workplace, and even today, June continues to advocate to open doors for girls and women in STEM and the skilled trades.

Trump's tariffs are a tax on Pennsylvanians! Take a look at how much more consumers in PA have had to pay for basic necessities since he started his tariff wars.

Last week, I had a sobering discussion with Trinity Health at Mercy Fitzgerald about the pressures on frontline hospitals, including Medicaid cuts, the bankruptcy of Crozer Health, and threats to the 340B program. Endlessly grateful for the professionals who soldier on for their patients.

Wonderful to see students in PA-05 thriving! At my visit to Blockson Middle School in Norristown, I got to see their impressive school garden, math and science classes, literacy programs, and the incredibly dedicated staff who are working hard for our community!

Secretary Hegseth deserves to be impeached. Even Republicans know it; that’s why they canceled votes to avoid having to go on the record and vote on his impeachment.

This charitable institution leverages the deep commitment of folks in our medical community to serve those in need and also helps medical and dental students learn how to serve diverse patient groups. The dedication of all involved in Puentas de Salud was inspiring to witness.💙

If we want to strengthen fraud enforcement, we should restore the independence, expertise, and accountability at the Department of Justice rather than engage in more performative legislation.

With just 4 days to legislate before Speaker Johnson sends Congress home for another 7 weeks, our Republican colleagues have decided to prioritize legislation that weakens environmental protections for our kids and communities.

It's illegal to send armed officers or troops to polling places, so when members of the Trump administration say that they might, they are trying to chill participation in our elections by American citizens.

The best response to concerns about our elections is to reject the propaganda and chaos and make a plan to vote.

Pennsylvanians: If the SAVE Act were to pass, your PA Real ID would no longer be enough to register to vote. This bill is a massive disenfranchisement effort, particularly for married women, young people, and people living in rural areas.

Our elections are secure, and baseless claims to the contrary are based on propaganda from those who want to disenfranchise eligible voters.

It was great to catch up with so many constituents and local leaders, and the hundreds of seniors who attended appreciated the opportunity for one-stop shopping for social services, health care resources, and financial information.

Philadelphia's 9/11 Day of Service saw the packing of hundreds of thousands of meals for distribution by Philabundance. Thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who helped our hungry neighbors, the sponsors who funded it, and the Eagles for hosting this opportunity to give back in PA-05.

Great discussion in Chester with Moms Rising - a group dedicated to building a more family-friendly America. I very much appreciate everyone taking time from their VERY busy schedules to share their wisdom and challenges of raising families in this economy.

I was happy to connect with Laborers Local 413 in Chester. The folks I spoke to were clear: they and their families want good jobs, affordable housing, accessible healthcare, and quality schools — not ballrooms and tax breaks for billionaires.

We will continue fighting for the labor policies that make our country strong and grow the middle class: good-paying jobs, the right to organize, strong worker protections, and an economy where hard work pays off.

The Big Ugly Bill cut vital funding in ways that stripped SNAP benefits from tens of thousands of eligible Pennsylvanians. No family in PA-05 should go hungry. I'll never stop fighting to reverse these cruel cuts.
