Congressman Dwight Evans, representing Pennsylvania's 3rd district since 2016, has shared his perspectives on recent developments through a series of tweets. Known for his advocacy for public transportation and economic policies that benefit workers and families, Evans addressed various issues impacting the state and nation.

On November 22, 2024, Congressman Evans expressed gratitude towards Governor Shapiro for supporting the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). He highlighted SEPTA's role in reducing air pollution and traffic congestion, stating: "Thank you @GovernorShapiro for taking decisive action to help support @SEPTA and the millions of riders who rely on it across southeastern Pennsylvania. SEPTA reduces air pollution & traffic congestion even for those who don’t use it!"

Later that day, he commented on potential economic challenges under President-elect Trump's administration. Evans tweeted about economists' predictions regarding future financial conditions: "Those looking for lower prices may not like what's coming. Economists are predicting higher inflation, higher interest rates, and diminished economic growth with President-elect Trump's new policies."

In another tweet posted shortly after, Congressman Evans addressed claims by Republicans regarding their political mandate. He stated his commitment to continue advocating for policies focused on workers and families in Philadelphia: "While Republicans claim to have an 'overwhelming mandate,' this is simply not the case. In the next Congress, I'll keep fighting for the people of #Philly and continue to advocate for worker- and family-centered policies."
