Congressman Dwight Evans, representing Pennsylvania’s 3rd district since 2016, has expressed his opposition to a legislative measure referred to as the “Trump Reverse Robin Hood bill.” In a series of tweets posted on July 3, 2025, Evans outlines his concerns and critiques regarding the bill and related political issues.
On July 3, 2025, Congressman Evans tweeted that he “voted NO again on the Trump Reverse Robin Hood bill”. He provided a link for more details in his full statement.
Later that day, Evans commented on the passage of the bill. At 19:19:53 UTC, he stated that “this bill only passed because Republicans drew skewed districts in states like NC, TX, FL & OH – unlike PA.” He credited Pennsylvania’s fair map to their state Supreme Court and highlighted House Democrats’ efforts to pass bills against gerrymandering in two different Congresses.
Continuing his critique at 19:20:41 UTC, Evans pointed out a procedural hurdle in the Senate. He remarked that “the Senate wouldn’t make a 164th exception to the filibuster,” which would have empowered voters. He emphasized House Democrats’ ongoing battle against gerrymandering and noted the need for sufficient support from Senate Democrats.
Dwight Evans has served as a U.S. Congressman since replacing Chaka Fattah in 2016. Prior to this role, he was part of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1981 until his congressional appointment. Born in Philadelphia in 1954 and holding a degree from La Salle University since 1975, Evans continues to reside in Philadelphia.
