It's horrible that PA currently ranks near the bottom when it comes to civics education. Changes need to be made for a greater emphasis in civics teaching so that our kids will have the tools to better participate & improve our society.

Today, we celebrated National Hunting and Fishing Day at the Capitol! Proud to recognize Pennsylvania’s outdoor traditions!

My colleague @RepKenyatta walked 105 miles to demand mass transit funding. I’m calling on the #PaSenate: get back to work, pass the #PaBudget, and #FundTransit for Pennsylvanians. 📍 RepMaryIsaacson.com #MassTransit #PAHouse

It's National Suicide Prevention Month - let's honor the thousands of families who've been shattered with grief and celebrate the lives lost. It's far too easy to stumble across nefarious websites that will encourage vulnerable people to act in moments of crisis.

Wishing everyone a Happy and safe Labor Day weekend! My office will be closed tomorrow Aug. 29 and Monday Sept. 1. We will reopen on Tuesday Sept. 2 for any assistance you need.

We're honoring women to celebrate Women’s Equality Day today, but it's something we should commit to doing every day. From equal pay to reproductive freedom, I will keep fighting for women across the commonwealth. #WomensEqualityDay

I'm so excited for my Backpack Giveaway THIS Saturday! Students will receive backpacks with school supplies to start their year off on the right foot & my office will have helpful information and resources for parents/guardians.

Today in History: The 19th Amendment is ratified, allowing women to vote and giving them a voice in our country. We should honor those who fought through Women's Suffrage by voting. Remember, elections don't just happen every four years. Exercise your right by making your voices heard.

Bills passed by the #PASenate Tuesday are inadequate. Their transit bill increases fares & cuts $$ for safety. Their budget bill fails to fund schools & services properly. I stand with other Democrats for a better solution. The good news: at least the Senate came back to work. youtu.be/jmED8UuGIRw

Without @septaphilly.bsky.social PA will fall behind - It's time for the Senate to deliver for the commonwealth.

We passed a bill to fully fund roads, bridges & mass transit in all 67 counties. Now it’s time to finish the job and keep PA moving forward. pahouse.com/Isaacson

Today, we passed the fifth bill that would provide funding for SEPTA and our roads and bridges. The Senate Republicans have refused to act on any legislation - even after the bill includes every one of their demands.

SEPTA is a lifeline for so many people in Philadelphia. I know how important it is. I'm working in Harrisburg voting for the fifth time for transportation funding, while we're still waiting for #PaSenate Republicans to return to Harrisburg and do their job!  #FundTransist #FundSEPTA

SEPTA route cuts put our kids’ education at risk. Families across Philly and PA need reliable transit. I’m calling on the #PaSenate to pass the budget and #FundSEPTAnow. 📍 PAHouse.com/Isaacson #FundSEPTA #PublicTransit

I gathered with colleagues in Philly today to call on the #PASenate to pass PASS critical funding for SEPTA. The House did its job. It is in the Senate's power to prevent the devastating service cuts happening in 20 days. FUND SEPTA NOW!

It's a new location but National Night Out with the 1st, 3rd and 17th Police Districts on Tuesday, Aug. 5 is still on. Head out to 1002 S. Broad St. from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. for food, fun an fellowship. #NationalNightOut (location change from 300 block of Washington Ave.)

When routes get cut, your commute gets longer. ☎️ The GOP Senators who represent SEPTA need to hear from you! Sen. Joe Picozzi: 215-281-2539 Sen. Frank Farry: 215-638-1784 Sen. Tracy Pennycuick:215-541-2388

I passed a #PABudget. I passed bills to fund SEPTA. I passed bills to protect your health care. All of it is waiting for the Senate to do their jobs. ☎️ Call Senators Frank Farry @ 215-638-1784, Tracy Pennycuick @ 215-541-2388, and Joe Picozzi @ 215-281-2539 and ask them to get back to work.

Excited for the next South Street Headhouse District Night Market! Food trucks, live music, free summer fun and more! 📅 Friday, August 1 ⏰ 5-9pm 📍 South Street between 9th & 11th Streets

As an urban legislator, it’s important to know what’s working in other areas across the state. I was honored to be a part of the Economic Development Tour in Reading hosted by the @padempolicy. Our investments are helping to rebuild main streets, tackle food deserts, and more! youtu.be/elwiIlO4Lu0

In recent years PA's $1 billion wine industry has faced some serious challenges. As legislators we're working to ensure a level playing field to help #PAWinemakers succeed on a global scale.

It's been 16 years since hard working Pennsylvanians received a minimum wage increase - even though prices continue to rise. I voted YES to raising the minimum wage because the economy works better when it's fair for all. It's time to #RaisetheWage

The Veterans Temporary Assistance (VTA) Program, which provides financial assistance for essential needs like rent, groceries, utility bills, and clothing during times of financial hardship.

The #PAHouse has passed a budget bill that aims to better fund important programs and services for Pennsylvanians. More equitable education funding and other needed funding for the Commonwealth.

Fully funding our public schools is long overdue & is mandated by the PA constitution. An easy fix would be to adopt my legislation that would reform cyber charter school funding, freeing up millions without adding a single penny to our #PABudget or property taxes.

I know Rep. Dwight Evans will continue to serve his community even after his upcoming retirement. Thank you, Rep. Evans for over 40 years of fierce advocacy for Philadelphia and the commonwealth.

Special thanks to PCN for having me on to speak about my bipartisan legislation to cap fees for event ticket resellers. No one should miss out on their favorite band or cheering on their beloved sports teams (Go Birds!) because of outrageous ticket prices. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh8Y...

It’s time the #PaSenate acts on cyber charter reform. Our kids deserve accountability, strong public schools, and real results. Let’s fully fund education and fix a broken system.

Properly funding transit is vital to our community because so many folks rely on it to support themselves. It's now time to make sure that the #PaSenate takes up this bill and fulfills their duty to all Pennsylvanians.

Always happy to support our community organizations that provide invaluable services to so many of our friends and neighbors.

I'm in Harrisburg this budget season fighting to raise the minimum wage. Every Pennsylvanian—healthcare workers, food servers, and more—deserves a living wage. Let’s deliver dignity and fairness. – Rep. Isaacson Learn more: PAHouse.com/Isaacson

This bill marks a milestone in my ongoing commitment to champion policies that guarantee Pennsylvania students receive a sound and equitable education, as enshrined in the state’s constitution.

There was a great turnout at the Transit for All Rally today! Pennsylvanians showed up to demand funding for public transit - it keeps our state connected and moving forward.

Gov. Shapiro & Work for America, Inc.’s Civic Match are hosting a virtual job fair with state agencies & local governments across PA to fill critical roles in civil service. Civic Match Live: Pennsylvania Tuesday, June 3, 2025 1:00 PM-2:00 PM Register here www.workforamerica.org/events-1/civ...

I toured the I-95 CAP Project which will construct a 12-acre grassy park along I-95 in our community. I’m so excited to have another green space to enjoy in our beautiful city.

Transit is essential—whether you live in Philly, the suburbs, or rural PA. I won’t support a budget that leaves mass transit behind. It’s time to fund what moves us. #MassTransitMatters 👉 RepMaryIsaacson.com

My colleagues @pahousedems.com & I held a powerful call to action with Transit for all PA to show solidarity & support for people who rely on public transit throughout the state.

From SEPTA funding to adult-use cannabis, this was a busy week in Harrisburg. Here are some highlights of legislation that made its way through the #PAHouse.

Thrilled to announce $75,000 in state funding to Mastery Charter School Lenfest Campus to expand Career and Tech Education in STEM and Computer Science. As technology advances every day - it's important that we have a well-trained workforce in STEM and Computer Sciences.

The @padempolicy is making rounds this week to discuss issues in our communities. It was great to see so many folks out to hear about ways to reduce the impact of climate change. Together we can work to protect property and keep our neighborhoods safe moving forward.

It's time for Spring Cleaning! Bring any documents with personal information to dispose of securely and sustainably to my Shredding & E-Recycling Event this Saturday, May 3.

Yesterday, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of a milestone in the fight for equality in the LGBTQ+ community: The signing of an Executive Order establishing protections for state employees regardless of their sexual orientation by former Gov. Milton Shapp.

It’s been 50 years since my friend Mark Segal first worked with then PA Governor Milton Shapp on an executive order protecting state workers from workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. We’ve come a long way but the work & the fight continues on! youtu.be/aaQxeUHg0hM

I hope you have time to relax, reflect and enjoy quality time with your loved ones during this holiday season.

The growing problem of illegal guns can't be ignored. We must make sure we, as a House majority, are passing smart gun legislation to protect our communities. I’m also calling on Senate leadership to take action and pass this critical legislation. Together, we can make a difference.
