Rep. Rick Krajewski

My op-ed today: Senate Republicans killed the clearest path to cannabis legalization in state history. If they're serious about moving forward, they must bring up my bill again or send the House another proposal. We're ready to negotiate when you are. marijuanamoment.net/its-time-for-p…

We are celebrating historic bipartisan support for post-arrest youth diversion in the Pennsylvania State House! Last year I led a delegation to Harrisburg to advocate for youth diversion because it is a win-win. Post-arrest youth diversion for nonviolent crimes: ✅️ Is twice as effective at preventing recidivism ✅️ Gets victims restitution faster ✅️ Saves taxpayers money ✅️ Keeps communities whole Congratulations to @RepKrajewski @Rep_ADC @bellmonforpa and everyone in the Pennsylvania Justice Alliance on getting HB 144, HB 150, and HB 1936 through the State House with overwhelming support on both sides of the aisle! Now it is up to the State Senate to send these bills to Governor Shapiro's desk without delay!

Proud to say my legislation expanding the use of juvenile diversion, HB 144, passed the House today with overwhelming support. Diversion saves state dollars, changes lives, and sets youth on a path for success!

🚨🚨Middle school students at SLAMS have walked out to protest ICE! Can’t say how moved and inspired I am to join them. Freeze Trump, melt ICE!

The “Know Your Rights” trainings, which have served over 1,000 people, provide information and tactics for interacting with ICE. Residents say they’re needed and useful. billypenn.com/2026/01/15/kno…

Pres. Trump has directed an illegal and unnecessary act of war this weekend in Venezuela. Lives have been lost and many more are at risk, as the US President interferes in the innerworkings of a sovereign nation. This decision has far-reaching consequences at home and abroad. 1/5

Workers in New Jersey are about to get their SEVENTH raise since the last time PA workers got one. Why? Senate Republicans are keeping your pay down as your costs rise.

Trump's first act in 2026? An illegal act of war against another country. Our government can always find money for violence and war. Not a penny for health care.

Trump’s attack on Venezuela and abduction of its President are criminal acts of terror. They follow in the darkest traditions of American history: a violent, reckless flex of military power to gain control over foreign resources.

We celebrate HB 150 passing the PA House w/ bipartisan support. This would create a pathway to update and improve PA’s medical release process for people in prison who pose no risk to #publicsafety, who are seriously ill or incapacitated, but pose a significant expense to the DOC

We finally passed my compassionate release legislation out of the House today, HB 150. While our state’s elderly population behind bars balloons to more than 7,000, our existing medical release system is fundamentally broken. It’s time for action.

!! BREAKING !! HB 150 has passed the PA House of Representatives! HB 150 is a bipartisan bill that seeks to expand access to medically-based relief for incarcerated people with terminal and serious chronic medical conditions. Thank you to the bill’s cosponsors @RepKrajewski and @EckerRep, and to all the lawmakers and advocates who supported HB 150! Now, onto the Senate!

I'm a proud co-sponsor of this bill that will increase worker democracy in PA, and I'm so encouraged to see this overwhelming bipartisan vote! Congrats to @RepKrajewski and our other co-sponsors!

We just passed my worker cooperative legislation, HB 135, which makes it easier to form a coop! And I’m proud to say we achieved wide bipartisan support with a vote of 194 to 9. 🎉🎉

The proposal, from state Rep. Rick Krajewski (D., Philly), classifies using tech platforms such as RealPage to set rent as an "unfair methods of competition," and allow the attorney general or DAs to pursue charges against landlords who violate the law. palegis.us/legislation/bi…

Inbox: 35 local elected officials are asking for the Pennsylvania House's Housing & Community Development Committee to call up a ban on algorithmic rental price fixing for a vote.

I know personally how frustrating it is for the trolly tunnel to still be closed. SEPTA has said that repairs could be done as early as tomorrow but may take longer. I’m working alongside SEPTA to ensure that progress is under way and to make available services faster.

My statement with @CouncilmemberJG on the unfolding eviction at World Cafe Live. We must ensure that any path forward retains and respects the workers who have brought us world class music and arts for two decades.

Powerful words today in @CityAndStatePA from Marirosa Lamas Aponte, a former superintendent of 5 PA state prisons supporting my medical release bill, HB 150. Call it common sense, compassion or fiscal responsibility: We must free the sick Pennsylvanians dying behind bars.
