The issue of gun violence arose again at a town hall Scanlon held in August at the Francis J. “We’re having more and more of it and the victims are getting younger and younger.”Ī 5th congressional district constituent, Roane lives in Southwest Philadelphia and is a teacher at the Strath Haven Middle School. “Considering what’s happening in our neighborhood with all the gun violence, they were hoping that I was able to get here tonight and see if I can present their concerns,” Pixie Roane said of her asking the congresswoman questions on behalf of her neighbors.
There, in a 200-person packed hall, she fielded questions on a range of topics, from gun violence to climate change.
