Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, representing Pennsylvania's 5th district, has recently shared her views on various political issues through a series of tweets. These posts reflect her concerns regarding housing discrimination, tax policies, and social security measures under the current administration.

On March 18, 2025, Scanlon expressed her opposition to the Trump administration's actions concerning housing policies. She stated: "I was proud to join state and federal leaders alongside fair housing advocates in calling out the Trump administration's unconstitutional efforts to roll back decades of progress in preventing housing discrimination by gutting affordable and fair housing programs— all to give tax…"

The following day, March 19, 2025, she participated in a town hall meeting in Darby with local leaders and Penn Policy representatives. During this event, she criticized the current administration's fiscal plans: "Great to join @PennPolicy and local leaders for a town hall in Darby focused on this Administration’s plan to cut taxes for billionaires and big business while decimating federal funding for programs PA-05 residents rely on like Medicaid and SNAP." She emphasized that constituents were clear about their concerns regarding these policy changes.

Later that same day, Scanlon questioned the motives behind new Social Security policies introduced by the administration. She tweeted: "Unclear whether this Administration’s new Social Security policies are the result of gross incompetence or an active effort to crash the system." Her remarks highlighted issues such as office closures and workforce reductions affecting millions of Americans.
