Representative Tarik Khan

For many in our community, today is a reminder of the power of community, compassion, and faith. Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating! 🌙

“Proud to bring $60,000 in state funding with Senator Hughes to the Schuylkill Center for ADA accessibility. A community treasure, we’re working to make it more accessible for all!”

There will be local artists, pet portraits, treats, dumplings, balloons, and more from great neighborhood vendors. Hope to see you there!

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Celebrating Irish heritage and the generations who helped shape and build our city! Wishing everyone a safe and joyful day!

Private equity shouldn’t be cashing in on our hospitals while families skip meals to afford care. @RepBorowski and I introduced legislation (HB 1460) to rein it in.

Would you want your loved one in a healthcare facility that isn’t safely staffed? I wouldn’t either. Safe staffing saves lives. Thanks to Health Secretary Debra Bogen for highlighting why these standards matter.

With antisemitism and hate crimes on the rise, this is exactly why we fought for and passed funding in the Pennsylvania House to protect houses of worship. Hate and antisemitism have no place in our communities.

Today a man rammed a vehicle into Temple Israel, a synagogue near Detroit, prompting an active shooter response before security stopped the attacker. Thankfully children and staff were safely evacuated.

Want to be a nurse, PA, social worker, physical therapist, or architect? Washington’s “Big Beautiful Bill” just made it harder to pay for school and get reimbursed for services. I spoke with John A. Fry about the impact this could have on Temple University and its hospitals.

We need more unions, not fewer. 💪 I secured commitments from leaders at Pennsylvania State University, Temple U, Pitt & Lincoln U that they will not use university resources to union-bust or interfere with faculty organizing.

This documentary about Tarik Khan - former nurse who saved 800 expiring vaccine doses by going out into the community and giving shots and now state representative for Roxborough- will make you smile and cry. What a great role model and Philadelphian. billypenn.com/2023/05/29/ang…

Alzheimer’s is hard on families. That’s why @RepMadden and I passed a law creating a new Alzheimer’s Division to help patients and caregivers get support. If you need help, call 717-783-1550

Should Pennsylvania have a millionaires tax? Massachusetts passed one and it’s already generating billions for education and transportation.  Rep. Fiedler and I are exploring what it would take to bring that idea to PA.

I spoke with PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll about our legislation to allow automated speed cameras and parking-protected bike lanes to make our streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists in PA. 🚲🚶‍♂️

Public transit drives our economy. The PA House has sent funding bills to the Senate. We’re still waiting. It’s time to fully fund transit.

Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, should be fired, and Congress must immediately investigate how this happened and who approved it. The American people deserve answers, transparency, accountability, and a voice when our nation goes to war.

Multiple reports indicate that a U.S. strike on February 28 hit a girls’ school in Iran, killing more than 160 people — mostly young schoolgirls. If true, this is likely a war crime under international law.

Voting must be free from intimidation, including from our own federal government. I spoke with Roxborough’s own Al Schmidt about Pennsylvania’s safeguards. I’ll work to ensure every option is on the table to protect voters.
