Congressman Dwight Evans, who represents Pennsylvania’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, has recently posted a series of tweets criticizing former President Donald Trump’s economic and healthcare policies.
On July 16, 2025, Evans wrote, “Trump’s chaotic approach to the economy now threatens to affect home mortgage and auto loan rates. This is on top of raising prices thanks to his tariffs (which are just import taxes on food, clothing, electronics and other things you buy).”
The following day, July 17, 2025, he continued his criticism with another post: “Trump’s disastrous budget kicks millions off their health care (including many covered through Pennie) and food assistance – plus it will raise costs & impact our hospitals and nursing homes. If you live in #PA03, I want to hear how this law will impact you! Share your story”
Later that same day, Evans addressed Congressional Republicans directly: “Dear Congressional Republicans – you can actually vote No instead of rushing things for Trump. Then you wouldn’t need to fix your own rushed mistakes!”
Evans has represented Pennsylvania’s 3rd district since 2016 after replacing Chaka Fattah. Before joining Congress, he served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1981 to 2016. Born in Philadelphia in 1954, Evans continues to reside there and is an alumnus of La Salle University.
