Happy Birthday to me -- what a year!

      Guess what, John -- today is my birthday! And that’s always a good time to take stock.   As I gathered with family last weekend, we talked about the wild ride we have been on for the past year and a half. Five, ten, heck -- even two years ago -- I never…

Working on common sense, community-focused solutions

      John,   Earlier this month, I hosted a town hall at the Francis J. Myers Recreation Center in Philadelphia to talk about an issue that has affected far too many people in PA-05 and across the country: gun violence.   In Philadelphia alone, we’ve had 7…

What I learned in the Northern Triangle and at the southern border

      Hi John,   I am honored to represent the people of PA-05 and Americans everywhere as a member of Congress. In addition to my work as Vice Chair of the Judiciary Committee, I also serve as a member of the Subcommittee on Immigration. In this role, I have…

What’s on the line

      Hi John,   There’s only one week left in August, so I’m going to cut to the chase. This seat is under attack by a pro-Trump super PAC and a far-right opponent. Everything that we’ve worked for in the 116th Congress -- expanded voting rights, equality fo…

Need your response to stop Trump from normalizing his behavior

      John --   Donald Trump has never let the truth stand in the way of his self-promotion -- he’s made a career out of spouting outlandish claims about everything from the size of his ratings, crowd size and fortune, to the nationality of President Obama, t…

A quick note on women’s suffrage

      John -- On this day 99 years ago, the 19th Amendment was ratified, finally giving women the right to vote!   For almost a century, women have been making our marks at the polls. When you go from being treated as a second-class citizen to a voter with a …

Protecting PA-05 from right-wing attacks

      Hi John,   From the moment I was elected and began fighting for accountability in our government and working to protect our democracy, the GOP has been determined to unseat me.   A pro-Trump super PAC recently announced that it will spend $250 millio…

Putting an end to the violence

      John,   Gun violence is impacting far too many Americans -- across the country and right here in Pennsylvania.   On Wednesday, a gunman injured six police officers in a shootout in North Philly. In our region last week, one individual was killed and m…

The latest on the PES explosion

      Hi John,   On June 21, PA-05 was rocked by the explosion at the Philadelphia Energy Solutions plant. PES, which has now filed for bankruptcy and been put up for sale, is planning to shut its doors on the 25th, laying off hundreds of hardworking Pennsylv…

There’s a far-right extremist running in PA-05

John,   Here’s the facts on my newest announced opponent: he’s a far-right extremist who wants to build a literal wall at our southern border, repeal the ACA, expand gun rights to allow firearms to be carried across state lines, defund Planned Parenthood, and believes that any abortion is murde…

$1,409 short of holding Trump accountable

John -- We need to act fast to keep up the momentum after Mueller’s testimony about Trump’s collusion and obstruction. Our team needs $1,409 more to reach our monthly goal, and we won’t have the resources we need to combat the GOP’s unlimited dark money in PA-05 without your support right now.  …

No one is above the law, including the president

      Hi John,   It’s been almost a week since Mueller faced the House Judiciary Committee and confirmed that his report did not exonerate the president.   His testimony reiterated what we learned from his investigation: that the Russian government interfe…

Trump is breaking his promises on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid

      Hi John,   Trump was elected in 2016 on a promise that he would protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. But right now, the president is threatening to make drastic cuts to these critical programs if he wins a second term.   Trump has blown up…

PA-05 wants justice, transparency, and action

      Hi John,   I spent a good part of the weekend preparing for the Judiciary Committee’s hearing with Special Counsel Mueller today -- but before it begins, I wanted to circle back to the survey my team sent out earlier this month. We reviewed your answers,…

Protecting reproductive and voting rights

      John,   Last week, I penned an op-ed in the Pennsylvania Capital-Star about the link between voter suppression and reproductive rights.   It should come as no surprise that the states actively working to strip women of reproductive rights are also th…

The latest from PA-05

      John,   My latest trip back to PA-05 was jam-packed with meetings and community events. Here’s a quick recap of some of the things I did while in the district!   This year’s Marple Newtown and East Lansdowne Fourth of July parades were a blast!   …
