In that time, he has built a reputation as a fearless advocate for economic justice, racial equity, and democratic reform — consistently standing up to corporate interests and right-wing extremism. He has also been a leading voice calling to abolish ICE, expand voting rights, and confront the growing threat of concentrated wealth to our democracy.

Chris refuses to let corporate monopolies dictate the livelihoods of everyday people. He will fight to ensure utility customers and consumers are no longer forced to foot the bill for corporate lobbying and dark money political activities.

Rep. Rabb has spent his career taking on corporate greed and fighting for climate justice.

As a founder and leader of the Pennsylvania House Climate Caucus, Rep. Rabb has authored more than 100 bills and resolutions to expand renewable energy, hold corporate polluters accountable, and protect communities most harmed by pollution and systemic inequality.

This is the kind of leadership young people are demanding: bold, principled, and unapologetic about putting people over profits.

Representative Chris Rabb is a five-term legislator from Northwest Philadelphia, representing the 200th District in the state House. As the most senior progressive in the legislature, he has spent years challenging corporate power, standing with working families, and advancing policies rooted in fairness and shared prosperity. He has led fights to raise the minimum wage, expand paid sick leave, reform cannabis laws, boost school funding, and protect tenants from eviction and workers from wage theft. Before taking office, Rabb worked in community development, ran a local business incubator, and taught social entrepreneurship at Temple University. A descendant of Black abolitionists, he carries a generational commitment to justice and collective struggle into every aspect of his work.

Rabb is running for Congress to shake up a broken system and rebuild a Democratic Party that answers to the people, not insiders or corporate donors. He believes the nation’s bluest district deserves a representative who will fight boldly for working families and reject the status quo. His campaign is rooted in honesty, accountability, and returning power to the people.

Rabb believes U.S. foreign policy should prioritize human rights, diplomacy, and global justice over corporate or military interests. He supports reducing endless wars and rejects policies that criminalize protest or silence dissent.

State Rep. Chris Rabb has spent his time in office “challenging corporate power, advancing social justice, and standing up for communities too often ignored by political insiders.” Now, he plans to take his bold progressive vision to Capitol Hill, serving the public, empowering working families, and defying special interests. Rabb considers himself a Democratic Socialist and wants democracy to work for everyone, not just the wealthy. He sees similarities between the Palestinian cause now and the US civil rights movement. “I believe you can’t be free until we’re all free, and I stand in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and oppose the genocide that’s going on there. I can’t be silent. When you’re silent, you’re complicit, and I won’t do that. I want the same people to stand up for me and my community.”
