This Philadelphia House Delegation elected its new slate of leadership for the 2025-26 legislative session. State Rep. Morgan Cephas was re-elected chairwoman for a second term. Elected were Rep. Joe Hohenstein as vice chair, Rep. Anthony Bellmon as secretary and Rep. Roni Green as treasurer.
Hohenstein said, “I grew up riding the Frankford El to school, so I’m familiar with the needs of Philadelphia families to have a fully functioning and safe mass transit system in this city. Finding a solution for recurring and stable funding for SEPTA has to be our No. 1 priority in the coming months. I’m anxious to find a solution that will benefit everyone and keep our city moving.”
Bellmon said, “Public safety is at the forefront of concerns of all Philadelphians. While incidents continue to drop, we still have a way to go to ensure that all families feel safe enough to sit out on their front stoop and not worry about what’s coming down the street. Our efforts to end gun violence, increase safety on the streets and ensure real protections for all Philadelphians are paramount to lifting up our entire city.” ••
