OnAir Post: Susan Wild PA-07
News
Congresswoman Susan Wild, who represents the Lehigh Valley in the House of Representatives, has issued a statement after a report from CNN claimed she was one of several Democratic lawmakers who opposed President Joe Biden as the nominee in the upcoming presidential election.
The comments, CNN claimed, were made during a call between legislators and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday.
According to Wild, the call was a “a confidential conversation with other members of House Democratic leadership,” during which she expressed concerns about Biden’s “electability at the top of the ticket.”
About
Congresswoman Susan Wild is a mother, attorney, public servant, and a dedicated member of the Greater Lehigh Valley community for more than 30 years.
The daughter of a journalist and a career Air Force officer, she was born at Wiesbaden Air Force Base in West Germany, and spent her childhood on Air Force bases across our country and around the world—an experience that shaped her lifelong commitment to the families that serve and sacrifice alongside our servicemembers. After years of moving around, she finally found a place to call home when she settled in the Lehigh Valley to start her family. Susan built a successful legal practice in the Valley while raising her two children, Clay and Addie, and later became the first woman to be appointed Allentown’s City Solicitor. In November 2018, she made history again when she was elected as the first woman to represent Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Susan’s legislative priorities include lowering prescription drug prices, expanding Medicare, supporting labor and education, addressing the climate crisis, and supporting PA-07’s thriving manufacturing sector, to continue to grow PA-07’s economy to bring more good-paying jobs to our community. She serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Education and Labor Committee, and the House Ethics Committee. Susan has shown her commitment to providing bipartisan leadership and working across the aisle by working on legislation with both Republican and Democratic colleagues. In addition to her committee work, she is a Vice Chair of the Labor Caucus and a Co-Chair of the Climate Change Taskforce in the New Democrat Coalition.
She is a respected leader in Congress on lowering the cost of prescription drugs. Susan led a letter of frontline Democrats urging that Medicare finally be allowed to negotiate the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs and that the lower negotiated rates be available to everyone, not just those on Medicare. She fought for and secured crucial changes to the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) to address drug costs. She led 27 freshman House Democrats in a letter calling for negotiations to be re-opened so changes could be made to protect consumers from excessive increases in drug prices as well as to strengthen labor standards and environmental terms. With these improvements secured by Susan, the AFL-CIO and United Steelworkers endorsed the USMCA and it was ultimately passed into law by a huge bipartisan majority vote in the House of 385 to 41.
Since the loss of her long-time partner to suicide in May 2019, Susan has become an outspoken advocate for mental health and suicide prevention initiatives both federally and locally. Since joining Congress, she has introduced legislation including the Greater Mental Health Access Act, the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, and the Enhancing Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Through Campus Planning Act – all legislation to expand access to mental health care. Her amendment to the Dignity in Aging Act to provide for mental health screenings for seniors was included in the final legislation signed into law by President Trump.
Susan has been a leading advocate for Pennsylvania workers, retirees, and families. She strongly supported the Butch Lewis Act in the 116th Congress and helped ensure a long-term solution as part of the American Rescue Plan Act to protect the pension benefits that many union workers and retirees earned with a lifetime of work. In the 117th Congress, she led more than 200 Democrats in the House to call for strong labor standards, like paying a prevailing wage, for any federal investment in clean energy and infrastructure.
In addition, she has fought to bring home hundreds of millions of dollars in federal education funding to ensure every child and student in the Lehigh Valley receives a world class education, she has championed efforts to lower the cost of higher education so every person can afford to access a college degree or job training program, she has advanced several pieces of legislation to prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect so all our children have a safe childhood, and she has championed efforts to make child care more affordable and available so children and working parents can thrive.
She knows that representing the people of PA-07 is an extraordinary privilege, and Susan is committed to delivering results for our community. As an independent-minded Member of Congress, her focus is on serving all her constituents—regardless of whether they identify as Republicans, Democrats, Independents, or none-of-the-above. Rep. Wild believes that mindless partisanship has no place in a functioning government—and she’s doing her part to put an end the harmful “us vs. them” attitude by working with both Democratic and Republican colleagues to find common ground and get things done. That’s why 77% of the bills she has introduced and cosponsored are bipartisan bills. And over 65% of the votes she has cast during her time in Congress have been bipartisan votes. Susan is proud to be independently rated as one of the most bipartisan members of Congress by the Lugar Center. In fact, she ranked among the top 12% of bipartisan members in either party in the Lugar analysis.
Susan chose the Lehigh Valley as her home more than 30 years ago, after a lifetime of moving all over the country with her military family. Her children were born and raised here and the Valley is truly her home. Susan is a leader driven by her passion for the Lehigh Valley, and her dedication to serving the its people. She is committed to fighting for equality, affordable health care for all, an economy that benefits every member of our community, and reforming our political system to return government to the American people. For her, representing PA-07 in Congress is the honor of a lifetime, and she thanks her constituents every day for entrusting her with this responsibility.

Issues

Women and Families
I will always fight for a woman’s right to control her own body, make her own health care decisions, and have equal rights and protection in the workplace. When women are supported, our children, workplaces, and communities succeed.
Jobs, Economic Prosperity and Labor Rights
I’m working to protect our workers, reduce the costs of apprenticeship programs, invest in our infrastructure and rural broadband, and support our small businesses – so we can stabilize the economy, lower costs, and bring high-paying jobs home.
Seniors
I will always fight to protect Social Security and Medicare and oppose any budget cuts or efforts to privatize these programs, and other crucial programs that ensure a good quality of life for older Pennsylvanians.
Health Care
Every single Pennsylvanian deserves access to quality, affordable health care – which is why I’ve worked to strengthen and expand the ACA, close the Family Glitch loophole that kept families from accessing affordable coverage for spouses and dependents, and lower the price of prescription drugs.
LGBTQ+ Issues
The LGBTQ+ community deserves the same rights and equality under the law as every other American. That’s why I’m working to fight discrimination in schools, workplaces, housing, and anywhere else in our communities.
Criminal Justice Reform and Public Safety
We can make our communities safer, our laws fairer, and save lives when we strengthen public safety resources, remove barriers to reentry, and mitigate racial biases in criminal justice.
Bipartisanship, Accountability and Transparency
I’m proud to be in the top 12% of most bipartisan members of the House according to the Lugar Center rankings. I’ll work with anyone, regardless of party, to get things done. And I don’t take a cent of corporate PAC money – I’m fighting for a cleaner and more effective government.
Education
I’m working to increase our educators’ pay and equitably fund public education, help more students gain access to affordable higher education, and put us on a path toward universal preschool education – because by investing in our children’s educations, we invest in our future.
Veterans
Making sure our veterans have world-class health care, strong pensions, and the tools to transition to civilian life is critical. Those who put themselves in harm’s way to defend our freedom should never be without the care and support they need.
Housing
Every American should be able to count on safe, affordable, high-quality housing. I helped deliver emergency rental assistance, the Homeowner Assistance fund, and Housing Choice Vouchers to support the neediest in our community.

District
Source: Wikipedia
Pennsylvania’s 7th congressional district includes all of Carbon, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties; and parts of Monroe County. The district is represented by Democrat Susan Wild.
From March 2003 through 2018, the district incorporated parts of the Philadelphia suburbs, including most of Delaware County, along with portions of Chester, Montgomery, Berks, and Lancaster Counties. The district exhibited extreme non-congruity during that time as a result of gerrymandering.[2] On January 22, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the map violated the state constitution, and in February, it issued its own district boundaries for use in the 2018 elections and representation thereafter.[3] Most of the population in the old 7th district became part of a new 5th district, encompassing all of Delaware County and parts of South Philadelphia; while most of the old 15th district became the new 7th district.[4][5] In the 2020 redistricting cycle, Carbon County was added into the district, in exchange for the area around East Stroudsburg in Monroe County.
Pat Meehan, who had represented the old 7th district since 2011, resigned on April 27, 2018, amid a sexual harassment case. Mary Gay Scanlon won the special election on November 6, 2018, to replace him for the remainder of his term, and she served for slightly less than two months as the last representative for the old 7th district before being transferred to the newly redrawn 5th district. Susan Wild won the general election in the newly redrawn 7th district, and she took office January 3, 2019.
Wikipedia
Susan Wild (née Ellis; born June 7, 1957) is an American lawyer and politician from the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A Democrat, she is a member of the United States House of Representatives from Pennsylvania’s 7th congressional district. The district is in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, and includes Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and Bangor. Wild spent the last two months of 2018 as the member for Pennsylvania’s 15th congressional district after Charlie Dent resigned in 2018. She also co-chairs the New Democrat Coalition Climate Change Task Force and is vice chair of both the Congressional Labor and Working Families Caucus and the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations. Wild is the first woman to represent the Lehigh Valley in Congress.[1] Wild lost her re-election bid in 2024 to Republican Ryan Mackenzie.[2]
Early life
Wild is the daughter of Norman Leith and Susan Stimus Ellis.[3] Her mother was a journalist. Her father served in the United States Air Force during World War II and the Korean War. Wild was born at Wiesbaden Air Force Base, West Germany, while her father was stationed there. She also lived in France, California, New Mexico, and Washington, D.C.[4]
Early political career
Wild volunteered on Jimmy Carter‘s 1976 presidential campaign.[4] She graduated from American University in 1978.[5] She earned her Juris Doctor at George Washington University Law School in 1982.[6] She studied under John Banzhaf.[4] Wild became a partner at the law firm Gross McGinley in 1999.[7]
Wild ran for Lehigh County Commissioner in 2013, but lost.[8] She was appointed the first female solicitor of Allentown, Pennsylvania, in January 2015.[9] She served as Solicitor of Allentown starting on January 7, 2015, when she was confirmed by the Allentown City Council.[10]
U.S. House of Representatives
Elections
2018 general
On December 31, 2017, Wild resigned from office to pursue her candidacy for the United States House of Representatives to succeed retiring representative Charlie Dent (R) in 2018.[11] Dent’s district had previously been the 15th, represented by seven-term Republican. She won a six-candidate Democratic Party primary election with 33% of the vote, narrowly defeating Northampton County district attorney John Morganelli, and faced Republican Lehigh County commissioner Marty Nothstein in the November 6 general election.[12][13] She defeated Nothstein in the general election with 53.5% of the vote to Nothstein’s 43.5%.[14][15]
2018 special
On the same day, Wild also ran in a separate special election for the balance of Dent’s term; he had resigned in May after announcing the previous fall that he would not run for reelection.[16][17] On November 15, 2018, it was announced that Wild had won the 15th congressional district’s special election, receiving 130,353 votes to Nothstein’s 129,593 votes.[18][19]
There was a closer margin in the special election because that election was under the former 15th district, which had been thrown out by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in February 2018. The former 15th had stretched from the Lehigh Valley into heavily Republican territory between Lebanon and Harrisburg, by way of a tendril in Berks County. The new 7th district is a more compact district centered in the Lehigh Valley, and includes a sliver of the Poconos.[citation needed]
2020
Wild ran for re-election to a second term. She was unopposed in the Democratic primary[20] and faced former Lehigh County commissioner Lisa Scheller[21] in the general election. Wild defeated Scheller with 51.9% of the vote, less than was expected.[22]
2022
Following the 2020 census, Wild was redistricted into a more competitive congressional seat. She was criticized by some district residents when she said of her new district, “Carbon County has many attributes, but it is a county that—although it was once an Obama county—it since has become a Trump county. I’m not quite sure what was in their heads because the people of Carbon County are exactly the kind of people who should not be voting for a Donald Trump, but I guess I might have to school them on that a little bit. But most of all, it is a very rural county.”[23]
In a rematch of the 2020 election, Wild narrowly defeated Scheller by 51% to 49%.[24]
2024
Wild ran for re-election in 2024. She lost to Republican State Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.[25][2]
She was subsequently traced as the source of leaks to the press regarding the investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).[26]
Tenure

In 2021, Wild cosponsored a resolution to expel Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress, saying that Greene “advocated violence against our peers, the Speaker and our government”.[27]
As of November 2022, Wild had voted in line with President Joe Biden‘s stated position 100% of the time.[28] In the 117th Congress, Wild voted with Speaker Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time.[29]
Elder policy
In 2020, Wild co-sponsored a bill to reauthorize the Older Americans Act for five years with a 35% increase in funding. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law in March 2020.[30]
Firearms
In 2022, Wild voted for H.R. 1808: Assault Weapons Ban of 2022; this bill would ban, among other guns, AR-15s.[31][32]
Foreign affairs
Wild has been critical of Brazil‘s president Jair Bolsonaro for holding views she characterized as “far-right“, “misogynistic“, “homophobic” and “anti-immigrant“. In March 2019, she and 29 other Democratic lawmakers wrote U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a letter that read in part, “Since the election of far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro as president, we have been particularly alarmed by the threat Bolsonaro’s agenda poses to the LGBTQ+ community and other minority communities, women, labor activists, and political dissidents in Brazil. We are deeply concerned that, by targeting hard-won political and social rights, Bolsonaro is endangering Brazil’s long-term democratic future.”[33]
In 2023, Wild voted against H.Con.Res. 21, which directed President Biden to remove U.S. troops from Syria within 180 days.[34][35]
In February 2023, Wild signed a letter advocating for President Biden to give F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.[36]
Healthcare
On January 31, 2023, Wild voted against H.R.497:Freedom for Health Care Workers Act, a bill that would lift COVID-19 vaccine mandates for healthcare workers.[37][38]
On February 1, 2023, Wild voted against a resolution to end the COVID-19 national emergency.[39][40]
Immigration
In 2019, Wild voted against allowing victims of crimes by illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities to report the incident to the Department of Homeland Security.[41]
On February 9, 2023, Wild voted against H.J.Res. 24: Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022 which condemns the District of Columbia’s plan that would allow noncitizen voting in local elections.[42][better source needed][43]
Impeachment of Donald Trump
On December 18, 2019, Wild voted for the first article of impeachment, “abuse of power”, and the second article of impeachment, “obstruction of Congress”, against President Donald Trump.[44]
