Dr. Ala Stanford Leads in PA-03 Democratic Primary
In Pennsylvania's deeply blue 3rd Congressional District, the Democratic primary is the race to watch. Dr. Ala Stanford, a Philadelphia native and renowned physician, has thrown her hat into the ring, drawing praise and support. She's joining a crowded field that includes state Sen. Sharif Street and state Reps. Chris Rabb and Morgan Cephas.
Dr. Stanford's credentials are impressive. She's a graduate of Penn State University, both for her undergraduate and medical degrees. She made history as the first Black woman pediatric surgeon trained entirely in the United States. Her commitment to public health was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. She administered free tests and later vaccinations in communities of color, earning national recognition.
Her leadership in public health was further acknowledged when President Joe Biden appointed her to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a regional director in 2021. Now, she's seeking to bring her expertise to Congress.
Dr. Stanford's campaign has gained momentum. She's endorsed by retiring U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans. A recent poll showed her leading the pack with 18% support after voters were introduced to the candidates. Her support base is broad, crossing multiple demographic groups, including Black men, LGBTQ+ voters, and homeowners.
Dr. Ala Stanford's entry into the race for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District has injected a fresh voice into the conversation. With her impressive background in medicine, public health, and leadership, she's poised to make a significant impact. As the primary approaches, voters will be watching to see how her campaign unfolds.
