Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon

We had our October Congressional Youth Cabinet meeting this week! Thank you to Flora Cardoni of PennEnvironment for joining us to discuss that organization's critical work, including the ongoing conversation around regulation of data centers.

The nonpartisan civil servants who make up our federal workforce play a critical role in carrying out the laws passed by Congress and serving the public.

I'm proud to continue leading congressional efforts to secure strong funding for the CH-47F Block II program and end the uncertainty threatening the future of the Ridley Park facility — but the administration’s repeated attempts to cut the program are simply unsustainable.

I was happy to check in with the Rotary Club of Broomall for a conversation on issues affecting our region.

Research done by the PA Horticulture Society has shown that green spaces promote community well-being and reduce crime and violence in urban settings.

Your vote is your voice, and our democratic process only works if you participate. Every American should be able to exercise their right to vote without intimidation, and state and local election officials should be able to run elections without federal interference.

When the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 came before the Rules Committee, I offered Rep. Meeks’s amendment to block President Trump from waiving Russian sanctions. My Republican colleagues voted against it.

On Friday, President Trump did exactly that: issuing an EO that exempts Russia from the new sanctions passed by Congress last month, a dangerous decision that puts our allies at risk.

Big thank you to Rich Lazer and the PhilaPort team for giving me a tour of projects and facilities along the Delaware River — from Tioga Terminal down to the new Cruise Terminal. Great to see so much progress happening already under his leadership as Executive Director!

Thrilled to celebrate the reopening of Sellers Ave Bridge today under bright blue October skies.

The bridge is a critical connector between Ridley Park’s southern business district and the northern municipal facilities, and it's been a real hardship for the local community and small businesses while it's been closed due to serious structural failures.

In recent weeks, I've heard from so many constituents that their home heating bills have skyrocketed this fall. Seniors and those on fixed incomes are particularly scared that they won't be able to afford heat this winter.

I had a wonderful visit to see the latest developments in the revitalization of FDR Park and how the Community Project Funding I secured will be implemented!

Proud to stand with Governor Shapiro to announce over $800 million in federal, state, and private funding for a transformational expansion of PhilaPort, including $200 million in federal funding secured by our Philadelphia Congressional delegation to build two new berths!

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 mental health appointments closer to their college campus.

The Trump Administration is pulling out all the stops to silence political opponents.

Sending federal agents to execute a pre-dawn raid at the home of a sitting US Congresswoman - and citizen - three weeks before an election is just the latest abuse of power by Trump’s DHS.
