Evans: Much of GOP Agenda is Unpopular and We'll Fight It

He doesn't think people voted for higher prices or denial of healthcare.

Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA-3) is looking ahead to the next term of Congress and vowing to fight what he called a largely unpopular Republican agenda.

“I want to thank the people of the 3rd Congressional District for giving me another chance to serve them. While control of the White House and Senate will change in January, my values and priorities will not. I will continue working to bring federal funding to Philadelphia, and I will fight to lower costs and prices and defend access to health care and tax fairness.

“Nationwide, many people were upset about economic concerns and immigration, and they blamed the party in the White House. At the same time, we should be clear that much of the Republican agenda is unpopular, and there is no evidence that their current plans will actually meaningfully address these concerns. I will continue to fight against Republican proposals that would harm those in need, and I will continue to advocate for worker- and family-centered policies to address the concerns voters have expressed to us,” Evans said.
