Congressman Dwight Evans, representing Pennsylvania's 3rd district since 2016, has shared updates on his social media platform regarding various initiatives and concerns. His tweets reflect his ongoing efforts in urban development and security issues.

On February 3, 2025, Congressman Evans expressed enthusiasm about the transformation in Sharswood, a project he has been advocating for since his tenure in the State House. He highlighted his role in securing $30 million in federal funding to aid the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA), which is expected to leverage over $225 million in investments for revitalizing this historic neighborhood. "Excited to see such a transformation in Sharswood, a goal I've been working towards since my time in the State House! I was proud to help @PhilaHsgAuthPHA secure $30 MILLION in federal funding, leveraging over $225 MILLION in investment to revitalize this historic neighborhood."

In another tweet posted on the same day, Congressman Evans thanked journalist Aaron Moselle from WHYY for keeping the public informed about the progress of the Sharswood initiative. "Thanks to Aaron Moselle @WHYY for keeping people updated on the progress of this initiative!"

Later that day, Congressman Evans commented on actions by Elon Musk's "DOGE," describing them as a significant power grab that could jeopardize national security. "Some actions by Elon Musk's “DOGE” are a brazen power grab and place the security of ALL Americans at risk."
