Dad from Bucks County, Pa. They didn’t believe me when I said we hadn’t hit rock bottom yet. I really want to be part of the solution, but too many zoom meetings on my calendar.

Brian Fitzpatrick managed to be on both sides of an issue yet again when he joined 426 of his House colleagues to vote for the The Epstein Files Transparency Act. Previously Fitzpatrick refused to sign a discharge petition to allow a vote on the bill when Trump opposed releasing the files. #PA01

Hi, I’m Commissioner Bob Harvie. In 2023, I helped Democrats hold a majority on the Buck County Board of Commissioners for the first time since the Civil War.

Now I’m running to defeat Brian Fitzpatrick and polling has us tied.

Brian Fitzpatrick voted to cede congressional power over tariffs to Trump. Trump’s tariffs & economic policies are crushing PA workers & businesses. Fitzpatrick voted to keep them anyway because when Trump needs him, Fitzpatrick obeys. Working families are left to pay the price.

Day 9 since Epstein survivors spoke out and now, we are one vote away from seeing the release of the Epstein files. One vote. Brian Fitzpatrick could be that deciding vote but he still remains silent. What is he hiding? We all deserve the truth. Release the Epstein files.

I’m proud to announce that I’ve been endorsed by Congressman Chris Deluzio!

I’m honored to have his support, and I know that together we will fight for Pennsylvanians in Congress — it’s time to strengthen the middle class and restore the promise of the American Dream.

Day 7 since Epstein survivors spoke out. The Epstein "Birthday Book" is horrific and still Fitzpatrick refuses to act. We’re supposed to be “one community” but he’s failing "all of us." What possible reason is there not to sign? Who is Fitz protecting? Release the files.

Only 6? “problem solver” Brian Fitzpatrick #PA01 hasn’t held one since 2017. 2025-2017=8 years. How do you solve problems when you avoid the people with problems?

Any comment from Rep. Fitzpatrick & former FBI agent? I won’t hold my breath. “The new plan…will erode the bureau’s reputation as an elite law enforcement agency…”

Brian Fitzpatrick would rather do the bidding of Donald Trump and billionaires than fight for working families. Republicans in D.C. like Fitzpatrick are gutting Medicaid, food assistance, and the Department of Education. Republicans in Harrisburg are failing to fund SEPTA. whyy.org/articles/buc...

“For almost 10 years now…Fitzpatrick has had only 1 in-person townhall.”
What an excellent opinion letter in the Philadelphia Inquirer from regular contributor Steve Cickay!

We agree. Fitzpatrick masquerades as a moderate, but he behaves like a partisan.

Brian Fitzpatrick had the power to stop that Big Bullsh!t Budget and he chose not to.

On its first pass through the House, the Budget bill only passed by ONE vote. Fitzpatrick voted YES.... but his NO vote could have stopped all this awfulness in its tracks.

If it looks familiar, that's because we made it during Trump 1.0 during the Kids in Cages debacle. What a shame the times demand it be reused.
