Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, who has been serving Pennsylvania’s 5th district since 2018, frequently updates her constituents on her legislative activities through social media. Her recent tweets reflect her ongoing efforts to protect government institutions and address concerns regarding proposed policy changes.
On February 19, 2025, Congresswoman Scanlon tweeted about her commitment to transparency in governance. She stated, “I’m determined to provide as much insight as I can into the work I’m doing every day to protect our government institutions and the vital programs that Americans rely on.”
The following day, February 20, she shared a tweet highlighting concerns raised by constituents regarding political purges. She referenced an episode of The New York Times’s podcast “The Daily,” noting its relevance to local sentiments: “They’re gonna break something they can’t fix.” This reflects the apprehension among constituents about the impact of these purges on their lives and work.
Later that same day, Congresswoman Scanlon reported on a roundtable discussion with healthcare providers about potential Medicaid cuts. In her tweet, she expressed concern over the effects these cuts could have on vulnerable populations in Pennsylvania’s 5th district: “Just wrapped up a critical roundtable discussion with health care providers on the devastating impact of proposed Medicaid cuts for hundreds of thousands of children, seniors, and families in PA-05.”
