Hi, I’m Rick Krajewski.
I’m a State Representative, community organizer, and Black democratic socialist running for re-election to deliver for working people in West and Southwest Philly.
We’ve only just begun.
About Rick
As an elected legislator in Harrisburg, Rick is fighting back. His proudest accomplishments include winning a $2.5 million allocation to establish a statewide tenants’ right to counsel—ensuring low-income renters facing eviction or discrimination can access free legal representation in our courts—along with passing medical parole for sick and elderly incarcerated folks, advancing publicly accountable cannabis legislation, expanding juvenile diversion, and championing protections for at-risk youth as a young Black legislator.
Rick understands that real justice means more than reacting to crisis after crisis. It means transforming our communities by investing in what actually keeps people safe and whole: housing stability, violence prevention, and care for young people who are too often written off. In Harrisburg, he’s proven that fighting for working families isn’t just rhetoric—it’s about delivering material wins that change lives.
Rick Krajewski is the third-term state representative for the 188th district, representing West and Southwest Philadelphia. Rick was elected in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time of mass unrest over the murder of George Floyd, and the worsening affordability crisis. As a community organizer and democratic socialist, Rick was elected on a bold progressive platform to end mass incarceration, fully fund our public schools, and fight for a future where everyone can thrive, not just the wealthy or corporate developers.
Before Rick’s first term ever began, he delivered for working families by organizing weekly fresh food services and supplies right to neighbors’ doorsteps. After his election, he continued this program in partnership with Councilmember Jamie Gauthier by providing additional voter resources to increase turnout and help prevent Donald Trump's re-election. And at a time of misinformation and distrust in government, Rick, again with CM Gauthier, led efforts to increase vaccination rates to stop the spread of COVID-19.
People will power this campaign. No dark money group or corporate PAC would ever consider giving me money. And I would never take it. But they will spend it against us.
