Congresswoman Madeleine Dean

This administration took us into a war they don’t know how to end. We need real diplomats.

We are at our very best when we are civically engaged. 🇺🇸 Thank you to everyone who attended our town hall last night! It was a thoughtful discussion, and I am heartened by your care for our communities and our country. And thank you to Penn State Abington for hosting us on your beautiful campus!

From pioneering vaccine treatments to cutting-edge research on HIV and heart disease, Montco is shaping the future of medicine. Glad to celebrate Merck’s historic $2.8 billion investment right here at home, strengthening our local economy and our commitment to the life sciences!

Today we're celebrating a $10 million federal investment in railroad infrastructure, strengthening connections across Pottstown, Stowe, Greshville, Boyertown, Bechtelsville, and Bally — including at the historic Colebrookdale Railroad! Together, we’re building a safer, more connected Pennsylvania.

Ukraine is our ally, yet this administration's actions suggest otherwise. We must stand with the people of Ukraine in their fight for sovereignty against Russia’s illegal, brutal invasion.

Congratulations to Glenside’s SSG Colin Doyle on being named U.S. Army Special Operations Command Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year! 🇺🇸 The future of our young servicemembers is bright — our nation more secure — with NCOs like SSG Doyle leading our most advanced military units.

Glad to kick off another year of our student taskforce! 📚 Our young people are bright, thoughtful, and curious about the world around them — and what they can contribute to it. I am energized whenever I can learn from their experiences and their spirit.

As the climate crisis worsens, our farmers, chefs, restaurants, and all those who feed us are hit hardest. I was fortunate to join FarmerJawn, the James Beard Foundation, and culinary leaders for a critical conversation on sustainability, hunger, and collaboration at every level of agriculture.

Members of Congress should not have to do the work this administration was required — by law — to finish months ago. Survivors of Epstein deserve justice, and Americans deserve the truth.

Desperate to escape the consequences of his failed Iran war, Trump is preparing to stab Ukraine in the back and buy diesel from Putin. He's helping fund Russia's war machine, while our allies pay the price. Read more, here: https://loom.ly/WZHRac0

Please join me for a Town Hall on October 21 in Abington! RSVP is required. Location details to come ➡️ forms.gle/4jAZa4niL5T1... Looking forward to a great discussion!

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists launched a brutal, barbaric — most inhumane — attack on the people of Israel. Today, we remember the suffering of October 7th. Tomorrow, we continue the work, with mercy and moral clarity, to make peace. My full statement ➡️ dean.house.gov/press-releas...

Today is a Good Day offers resources for NICU families across our region. It was a privilege to secure Community Project Funding for their team, and I was glad to hear how those federal dollars expanded their family advocacy in our local hospitals. Thank you for your big work for our littlest.💚

The President says we should sit still on AI. Americans and the industry know better. We have the proposals. We have the support across the aisle. We must pass guardrails on AI before it's too late.

I was thrilled to help open the Schuylkill River Trail’s final portion in Montco — adding to its 70-mile stretch. This project is decades in the making for our communities to bike, walk, run, and take in our natural resources. Thank you to our state & local leaders for making this possible.

This administration wants voters to be intimidated because they know they're losing. Don't let the lies and fearmongering win — our elections are free and fair. All voters should feel empowered to use their voice.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. While in Dallas, I viewed an exhibit of more than 300 million pages of the Epstein Files. It is a brave project that aims to uncover the cruel crimes of Epstein and his associates, and to give voice to the women and girls who suffered their abuse.

Our veterans represent the very best of us — and I am always eager to learn from their experiences to help guide my work. Thank you to our Veterans Advisory Panel (and the veterans on my team!) for giving their insights on how we can better support veterans as they establish their civilian lives.

With one in four nurses assaulted at work and many leaving the profession, we must do better for those who give their best when we are at our worst. Kevin Mahoney, Penn Medicine CEO, and I wrote about how we can better protect our healthcare workers.⤵️ thephiladelphiacitizen.org/guest-commen...

Republicans had their chance to govern, instead they chose to support this administration’s corruption and incompetence.

G'mar chatima tovah — wishing a meaningful time of reflection and easy fast to all those observing Yom Kippur.

As Congress is sent home and votes are cancelled, the Speaker will be remembered for his failure to govern. We can do better.

September is National Recovery Month — an opportunity to remind people that recovery is possible. 💜 My family shares our story to help break the stigma — and I was grateful to speak alongside the Winder family, who lead with such vulnerability, at Montgomery County’s Reflections on Recovery.

I carry the U.S. Constitution with me every single day — and I encourage every American to do so. It is the beautiful, clear foundation of our nation, and a constant reminder of my pledge to uphold its freedoms. On this Constitution Day, may we all celebrate and reflect on its guiding principles.

The Ukrainian people are asking the U.S. to stand with them as their indispensable ally. The Russian and Iran Sanctions Act is not perfect, but to end this conflict, we must turn off the spigot of Russian fuel sales.

Trump’s attack on mail-in voting is an attack on our right to vote. PA Democrats will keep fighting to protect your access to the ballot box this November. Read the full story here ➡️ https://loom.ly/aoha4SM

Today is National Voter Registration Day! 🗳️ Our Democracy is at its best when we are engaged. October 19 is the deadline to register to vote or update your voter information for the General Election on November 3. Make your voice heard! ➡️ vote.pa.gov/Register

The President wants us to lose faith in our institutions and elections. We will not let his lies and fearmongering win.

The American people are fed up with the President's false promises.

L’shana Tova to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah! Wishing a good year — a time of renewal, peace, and prosperity — to our Jewish friends, family, and neighbors.

On this solemn day, we remember the innocent lives stolen and the first responders who ran toward danger to help. We remember them all as the very best of us. I was grateful to have a moment at Abington's War Memorial Park. Let us all take the time today to reflect. We will never forget.

PFAS has jeopardized our health for years. Now, the Pentagon is delaying cleanups at 243 military sites by up to 19 years. The burden of this Administration's carelessness falls on our service members and communities. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/09/c...

Trade wars with our allies don't just hurt our families here at home, but our reputation across the globe.

Hunger is rising in Montgomery County — for children, seniors, veterans, and families. As SNAP & Medicaid cuts threaten nutrition for our most vulnerable, I’m grateful for the urgent efforts of our food pantries, including the Mattie Dixon Community Cupboard in Ambler.

Unions and laborers built America. Today we recognize the strength, prosperity, and security hard-fought by American workers — from a 40-hour week to healthcare, anti-harassment laws, safe working conditions, and so much more. Happy Labor Day!

Article 1, Section 27 of the PA Constitution is a beautiful amendment — enshrining our right to a clean, safe environment for ourselves and for future generations. We have Sen. Franklin Kury's wisdom and love of our natural resources to thank. He was a giant. May his memory be a blessing.
