Congressman Dwight Evans, who represents Pennsylvania’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of statements on his official Twitter account on May 6, 2026, addressing economic policy, healthcare, and Jewish American Heritage Month.
In a tweet published at 20:50 UTC, Evans criticized the Trump-Vance administration’s approach to tariffs and foreign policy, stating: “Top Trump economic advisor brags that the Trump-Vance administration’s tariff-taxes and war of choice are making life more expensive for everyday Americans. And Republican majorities in Congress refuse to stop EITHER of those damaging actions!”
Later that evening at 21:15 UTC, Evans recognized Jewish American Heritage Month by posting: “Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! This month and every month, let us honor and celebrate the rich heritage and countless ways Jewish Americans have and continue to shape our culture and society for the better.”
At 21:45 UTC, Evans commented on healthcare policy with another tweet: “This is the reality of the GOP-created health care crisis— higher prices and less access to quality care.”
Evans has represented Pennsylvania’s 3rd district since 2016 after succeeding Chaka Fattah. Before his tenure in Congress, he served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1981 to 2016. Born in Philadelphia in 1954, Evans continues to reside there. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from La Salle University in 1975.
