PHILADELPHIA (May 20, 2026) – Following is a statement from Philadelphia Federation of Teachers (PFT Local 3) President Arthur G. Steinberg on the 3rd Congressional District Democratic primary result:
“The Philadelphia Federation of Teachers congratulates Rep. Chris Rabb on his primary election victory. While not endorsed by the Executive Board, our endorsement of another candidate was in no way a statement against Rep. Rabb’s record of service and consistent support for public education funding and worker empowerment. Public school students and working people in the 3rd Congressional District will be well represented by Rep. Rabb if he is elected in the November general election.
“We also congratulate our endorsed candidate, Sen. Sharif Street, for running a strong campaign. We look forward to continuing to work with him on strengthening public education and labor rights in Pennsylvania.”
