Congressman Dwight Evans, representing Pennsylvania’s 3rd district since 2016, shared his thoughts on significant political issues through a series of tweets. Evans has been vocal about constitutional rights and fiscal policies, reflecting his longstanding commitment to these topics.
On July 9, 2025, Evans marked the anniversary of the ratification of the 14th Amendment with a pointed reminder about its significance. He stated, “On this day, 157 years ago, the 14th Amendment was ratified. While Trump tries to erase this cornerstone of our democracy, the Constitution is clear— no person can be denied due process or equal protection under the law.”
Later that day, Evans criticized recent congressional decisions regarding tax cuts and social programs. He tweeted on July 9 at 21:18 UTC: “REMINDER: Congress could have extended tax cuts for everyone making less than $400,000, at about HALF the cost – and without slashing Medicaid or SNAP food aid. But Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress said NO to that!”
On July 10 at 13:01 UTC, Evans posted an additional message with a link for further information: “Icymi https://t.co/UBM2Yzl84G”
Evans has served in public office for over four decades. Born in Philadelphia in 1954 and an alumnus of La Salle University with a BA degree earned in 1975, he replaced Chaka Fattah as U.S. Congressman in Pennsylvania’s 3rd District after serving in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1981 to 2016.
