Evans Releases ‘State of the District’ Report

PHILADELPHIA (Feb. 26, 2025) – Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA-3rd) recently released his State of the District report covering 2024, now available on his website, evans.house.gov. This report covers his accomplishments in constituent savings, community project funding, and legislation for 2024.

Some highlights of the 14-page report include:

● $4.5 million returned to or saved for constituents in cases involving federal agencies such as the IRS, Social Security Administration and Department of Veterans Affairs. The 2024 figure brings Evans’ office’s total to more than $45.5 million returned to or saved for constituents during his first eight years in Congress.

● Details of $13.3 million in federal funding that Evans secured for 15 Philadelphia community projects, including more than $8.2 million going toward affordable-housing initiatives.

● Key initiatives he voted for that continued to be implemented in 2024, such as several multi-million-dollar federal grants for Philadelphia from the Biden Infrastructure and Jobs Act. One example is $29.7 million in federal funding to improve pedestrian safety across Philadelphia, including in front of schools.

“Despite the challenges of narrow but total Republican control of Washington, my commitments and priorities remain unwavering. I will continue working to help Philadelphians have affordable housing, quality school buildings, and safety,” Evans said.

Evans represents the 3rd Congressional District, which includes Northwest and West Philadelphia and parts of North, South, Southwest and Center City Philadelphia. He serves on the influential House Ways and Means Committee, including its Subcommittee on Health. The committee oversees taxes, trade, Social Security and Medicare.
