Congressman Dwight Evans, who represents Pennsylvania’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, has recently shared a series of tweets addressing economic and social issues. Serving since 2016, Evans replaced Chaka Fattah and has a background that includes long-term service in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
On January 31, 2025, Congressman Evans succinctly stated his position on tariffs by asserting "Tariffs are taxes."
The following day, February 1, 2025, he highlighted historical context by recalling that "In 1940, Ida May Fuller was issued the first Social Security check." He emphasized concerns about the current state of the Social Security system, noting it is "under attack and in need of repair."
Continuing his discourse on Social Security on February 1, 2025, Evans advocated for policy reform rather than benefit reductions. He urged to "#ScrapTheCap to make billionaires pay their fair share" as a means to secure Social Security's future sustainability.
