Jessica Arriaga is running for Congress to deliver practical results for Philadelphia families who are working hard but still feeling left behind.
Her focus is straightforward: safer neighborhoods, lower costs, and real paths to opportunity.
Every family deserves to feel safe walking their block, riding SEPTA, and sending their kids to school.
Jessica will push for federal resources that help local law enforcement target repeat violent offenders, stop illegal gun trafficking, and expand community-based prevention programs. She supports funding for mental health and addiction services alongside policing, because safer neighborhoods require both enforcement and intervention.
“For years, families have been told help is coming. It’s time to deliver real results.”
Philadelphia families are being squeezed by rising costs while small businesses struggle to stay open.
Jessica will support policies that reduce the tax burden on working families, cut unnecessary federal regulations that hurt small businesses, and expand job training programs tied directly to local employers. She will advocate for targeted infrastructure and industry investment that brings jobs back into the community.
“If you’re working hard, you shouldn’t be falling behind.”
Not every student needs the same path, but every student deserves a real opportunity.
Jessica will fight for federal support for career and technical education, workforce training, and school safety. She supports expanding partnerships between schools, unions, and local employers to create direct pipelines from classroom to career.
After more than 20 years in healthcare, Jessica has seen firsthand where the system fails patients.
She will work to expand access to affordable care, reduce costs, and increase transparency so families understand what they are paying for. She supports strengthening preventative care and cutting bureaucratic barriers that delay treatment.
Philadelphia families deserve to know what they are getting for their tax dollars.
Jessica will support stronger oversight, fight wasteful spending, and push for transparency in how federal resources are allocated to cities like Philadelphia.
“Government should work for you, not around you.”
Strong communities start with stable families.
Jessica will advocate for policies that expand access to childcare, support working parents, and strengthen community-based programs that promote long-term stability and economic mobility.
