Pennsylvania Member of Congress Tracking Report (MoCTrack)
Welcome to the Pennsylvania Member of Congress Tracking Report for the week ending August 9, 2020. Another week has passed and we are still waiting for a deal on phase 4 coronavirus relief. There’s been no real change in the past few weeks, but if you need a reminder of how often your MoC votes with the Trump agenda, you can find it in our Trump Tracker, powered by FiveThirtyEight Politics.
VOTES – the House had a district work period, while the Senate was in DC and took votes
TWEETS and MEDIA COVERAGE
We open with our Twitter Action sections on the expiration of coronavirus rescue programs and the GOP’s Senate’s failure to either pass the HEROES Act or negotiate a compromise, promoted legislation and the Tweets of the Week from each of our twenty Pennsylvania MoCs. In our traditional media recaps, we have a round-up of the week’s quotes from Senator Casey and Senator Toomey.
OTHER SECTIONS
In our Civics section, we switch gears into current events, with a rundown of where things stand with the various lawsuits and countersuits filed here in Pennsylvania in relation to our new Vote By Mail program. And in our Call to Action, we will be calling lawmakers to encourage them to Save the Postal Service! Funding for the USS is a contentious part of the phase four coronavirus relief, and the USPS funding needs to be prioritized in that package!
PA-01
Our special PA-01 report had another light week (not surprising, it *was* a home district week), but we do still have the week’s tweets focused on our trio of PA-01 MoCs, and a short selection of Fitzpatrick’s traditional media for your review.
Follow the votes and quotes from our Pennsylvania Members of Congress, because they work for US!

VOTES – the House had a district work period, while the Senate was in DC and took votes
- The Senate confirmed a new judge for the “sovereign district” (southern district) of New York, the court that has jurisdiction over wall Street, and much of the world’s financial crimes
- The Department of Energy has a new second in command, as DOE leaders were promoted up the line after the resignation of Rick Perry.
