Congressman Dwight Evans, a representative from Pennsylvania’s 3rd district, shared his thoughts on recent economic policies and community achievements through a series of tweets on April 7, 2025. Known for succeeding Chaka Fattah in the U.S. Congress since 2016 and for his long-term service in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Evans commented on matters ranging from economic tariffs to community honors.
In a tweet on April 7, 2025, Congressman Dwight Evans criticized former President Trump’s economic measures. He referred to the policies as a “new medicine for the economy” involving “UN-targeted, chaotic tariffs” that are causing financial hardship by “wrecking people’s savings and raising prices for all.”
Later that evening, another tweet from April 7, 2025, addressed Speaker Johnson’s stance on these tariffs. Evans argued against leaving the issue unchecked, claiming that “it’s hard-working Americans who are suffering.” He urged Congressional Republicans to collaborate with Democrats to “block Trump’s tariffs and reclaim Congress’ constitutional authority.”
In a different vein, Evans celebrated local achievements in Philadelphia. On April 7, 2025, he tweeted about his participation in the Frankford CDC Community Heroes Awards Breakfast, commending the 2025 honorees for their dedication to “creating a healthier Philadelphia for all.”
