Notable personal detailsDavid Oxman is a physician and healthcare activist who ran as a Democrat for U.S. House in Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District (Philadelphia area). He is a critical care physician at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and an Associate Professor of Medicine at Sidney Kimmel Medical College. He has written on health policy and public health issues, and entered the PA-03 race as a first-time candidate before later ending his campaign and endorsing another candidate in the primary.
Supports taxing the wealthy (including taxing wealth, not just income), opposing corporate PAC influence, and expanding government programs to address affordability, healthcare, housing, and income inequality. Advocates higher minimum wage and measures to reduce corporate influence on politics and taxation that redistributes economic gains more fairly.
Supports building on the Affordable Care Act and expanding government-sponsored insurance options so that anyone who wants public coverage can access it; emphasizes reducing the role of profit-driven insurers and lowering drug costs.
The candidate’s campaign platform lists “remaking our immigration system” as one of his priorities but does not provide specific policy proposals or clear positions on border enforcement, asylum access, or pathways to legal status. Public reporting on his campaign emphasizes healthcare and other issues and does not document detailed immigration stances.
The candidate’s campaign platform expresses support for safeguarding the environment but provides no specific climate or energy policies, targets, or positions on fossil fuels, clean energy investment, or climate agreements. Public materials contain only general environmental language without detailed proposals.
David Oxman is running in the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District, part of a crowded field of ten candidates ahead of the 2026-05-19 election. Recent fundraising analysis indicates the race is being funded mostly by individual donors with limited outside PAC involvement so far, and Oxman is among the candidates who have self-funded significant amounts.
