"Matt Cartwright has spent his entire career sticking up for working people, first as a trial attorney and now as the congressman in Pennsylvania's Eighth District. He is a fighter for all hardworking northeastern Pennsylvanians, standing up to corporate special interests and Washington insiders to lower prices, protect and expand access to health care, and grow our local economy.

Matt was named one of the most effective Democrats in Congress for his ability to work across the aisle and find solutions to our nation's pressing challenges."

"Since taking office in 2013, Matt has introduced more bills with Democratic and Republican support than any other House Democrat since he was first elected. This includes sponsoring bills to fund state and local law enforcement, prevent and prosecute violence against women and expand hearing benefits for seniors on Medicare.

As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, Matt has ensured the federal government is deeply invested in northeastern Pennsylvania by bringing home significant federal investment. He has provided funding for economic development, public safety, substance abuse treatment and key infrastructure projects.

He has also used his capacity as a senior House Appropriator to ensure northeastern Pennsylvania receives funding for workforce development projects. Additionally, he supported legislation to bring jobs to the area's growing economy and clean up water pollution from abandoned mines."
