Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after Ways and Means Committee Member Dwight Evans (D-PA) announced that he will not seek re-election:

“Congressman Dwight Evans has dedicated more than 45 years of public service to the people of Philadelphia, fighting each and every day for fairer, stronger, and safer communities. Nearly a decade ago, he brought his deep record of leadership and achievement from the Pennsylvania House to Congress. His service has been marked by his focus on expanding access to health care, championing our nation’s hospitals, promoting gun safety, and investing in a brighter tomorrow through economic development and urban renewal. Through it all, he has carried the spirit and resilience of the City of Brotherly Love. 

“Congress, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the nation are better because of Dwight’s service. I will miss his passionate advocacy and unshakeable moral compass. I look forward to our continued work this Congress, and wish him and his family every success in their next chapter.”
