117th Congress
WASHINGTON (March 10, 2021) – Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA-3rd) today voted for the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, helping to put the Covid relief and economic rescue bill over the top in the House and send it to President Biden's desk.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and U.S. Representative Dwight Evans (D-PA-03) are introducing the Resources for Victims of Gun Violence Act. This legislation would establish an interagency Advisory Council to gather and disseminate information about the resources, programs and benefits that can help victims of gun violence—including survivors and the families, classmates, coworkers and other associates of individuals affected by gun violence. More than 100 Americans die from gun violence each day and over 230 more are wounded.
Over the weekend, I proudly voted for the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which would implement President Biden's Covid relief and economic rescue proposal. I spoke in favor of the bill in the House chamber – click here to watch the video. This bill includes:
I know many Philadelphians are trying to receive a Covid-19 vaccine as soon as possible. This week, I and my congressional colleagues who also represent parts of the city sent a letter to the new director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Thank you. Your information has been submitted.

Last week, I was proud to vote for a budget resolution clearing the way to pass more Covid relief and economic rescue funding. President Biden's American Rescue Plan will be the basis of the upcoming bill. The resolution I voted for will allow the relief bill to pass by simple majority votes in the House and Senate.
This week, House committees – including the two I serve on: Ways and Means, which handles taxes; and Small Business – will work on this "reconciliation" bill to move it toward passage.
