Congresswoman Madeleine Dean

It continues to be the greatest and most solemn privilege of my life to serve Berks and Montgomery Counties. Thank you for entrusting me with another term representing Pennsylvania’s Fourth Congressional District. Last night was a resounding rejection of the chaos, corruption, cruelty that has afflicted families throughout our district. And it was a message of hope and of clarity. I will carry this with me into the next Congress. And I will continue to fight for our neighbors — especially in bringing resources back to our communities — while always keeping our common humanity, decency, and goodness at the core of this work. Thank you. 🇺🇸

Our seniors deserve to live comfortably and to age with dignity. So, I was glad to secure Community Project Funding for the Montgomery County Housing Authority to make ADA upgrades to their residences. And it was a joy to visit Lee Towers in Conshohocken to see these improvements realized!

Early in my time in Congress, the late Elijah Cummings shared with me a message of hope. Let's remember we all have a stake in our democracy, and every voice deserves to be heard.

Government has a role to play in ensuring families can access healthy food. As our region confronts rising levels of hunger — in large part to SNAP cuts — we must do better for our most vulnerable. Thanks to FoodTank & WHYY for a conversation on nutrition and federal policy.

Children belong in classrooms and playgrounds, not in for-profit detention centers. Kids have a right to an education in the United States, but this administration will go to extreme lengths to deny it to them.

PA leads the nation in measles cases. 5 people have died. Governor Shapiro has taken this threat seriously, RFK Jr. has not. We cannot let this administration’s disregard for science reverse decades of public health progress.

With voting underway across the country, Pennsylvania voters have until 5:00 PM today to request a mail-in ballot. Whether you vote by mail or in-person, make your voice heard.

This administration took us into a war they don’t know how to end.    We need real diplomats.

From pioneering vaccine treatments to cutting-edge research on HIV and heart disease, Montco is shaping the future of medicine. Glad to celebrate Merck’s historic $2.8 billion investment right here at home, strengthening our local economy and our commitment to the life sciences!

Today we're celebrating a $10 million federal investment in railroad infrastructure, strengthening connections across Pottstown, Stowe, Greshville, Boyertown, Bechtelsville, and Bally — including at the historic Colebrookdale Railroad! Together, we’re building a stronger, safer, more connected Pennsylvania.

Ukraine is our ally, yet this administration's actions suggest otherwise. We must stand with the people of Ukraine in their fight for sovereignty against Russia’s illegal, brutal invasion.

Glad to kick off another year of our student taskforce! 📚 Our young people are bright, thoughtful, and curious about the world around them — and what they can contribute to it. I am energized whenever I can learn from their experiences and their spirit. Thank you to Abington School District and PSEA for hosting.

As the climate crisis worsens, our farmers, chefs, restaurants, and all those who feed us are hit hardest. Article 1, Section 27 of the PA Constitution guarantees the right to a healthy environment, and it is our responsibility to be stewards. I was fortunate to join Christa Barfield, founder of FarmerJawn, on her beautiful land in Elkins Park; the James Beard Foundation; and culinary leaders for a critical conversation about sustainability, hunger, and the necessary collaboration at every level of agriculture.
