As my former colleague Dwight Evans retires at the end of this year, it is critically important that we elect someone who brings the skills and determination to fight for Philadelphia in Washington. We need someone who is a trusted leader, a proven champion for health care, and someone who understands the challenges facing families in Philadelphia, and that is Dr. Ala Stanford.

During the pandemic, while others hesitated, Ala was on the front lines, founding and leading the Black Doctors COVID–19 Consortium – literally saving lives and ensuring that no community was left behind. She showed the kind of urgency, moral clarity, and innovative leadership that we need in Congress.
Dr. Stanford doesn’t just talk — she takes action — and that is something we need now more than ever in Washington.

I am proud to endorse her. Please join me in supporting Dr. Ala Stanford for Congress.
