Pennsylvania state Representative Chris Rabb is running a close third in the PA 03 Democratic Congressional primary to replace retiring Representative Dwight Evans.
Despite posing as a Democrat, Chris Rabb is a card-carrying member of this country’s largest Marxist organization, the Democratic Socialists of America, and has the full backing of the city’s 2,000-strong DSA chapter.
Chris Rabb is also a long-time ally of the local Communist Party USA branch. He is particularly close to fellow DSA comrade, long-time CPUSA supporter, and former Philadelphia City Council candidate Seth Anderson-Oberman.
Formerly a teachers union official, Anderson-Olberman now heads the DSA-aligned activist group Reclaim Philadelphia.
He is a former leader of the Young Communist League and has maintained close ties with the local communists – he also wrote an op-ed, “Start Imagining the Revolution,” for the CPUSA’s People’s World in April 2025.
Here’s a May 2018 Facebook post from the Eastern Pennsylvania & Delaware Communist Party depicting Oberman-Anderson (second from left) campaigning with Rabb (second from right) while flanked by two local Communist Party volunteers.
Chris Rabb can also rely on the regular support and endorsement of his “friend,” prominent Philadelphia activist Amadee Braxton, a long-time leading member of the pro-China communist group Freedom Road Socialist Organization.
Do the people of District 03 really want a Marxist revolutionary representing them in Congress? Would he get any support at all without Democratic Party camouflage?
Let’s hope good sense prevails in the May 19 primary.
