Congressman Dwight Evans, who represents Pennsylvania’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, has recently posted a series of messages on his social media accounts addressing legislative efforts to protect Social Security data and calling for congressional action on gun violence.
On August 27, 2025, Evans wrote: “This is exactly why I’m a co-sponsor of @RepJohnLarson’s Protecting Americans’ Social Security Data Act (H.R. 1877)! House Democrats are fighting to protect hard-working Americans against the reckless, corrupt Trump administration. Where are House Republicans?”
Later that day, he addressed gun violence and urged legislative action. On August 27, 2025, Evans stated: “Let’s honor these victims, and all victims of gun violence – with ACTION. We cannot leave gun crime out of plans to get tough and smart on crime, including updating our laws where necessary. Congress CAN act – and must act. These children should still be alive!”
On August 28, 2025, Evans posted a brief message accompanied by a target emoji: “”
