Last week, Brian Fitzpatrick worked overtime to side with his extreme party by voting for devastating cuts to law enforcement, education, Social Security access, and small businesses in MAGA Republicans’ failed funding plan.
Meanwhile, this weekend, House Democrats voted to keep our government open for 45 days, ensuring active-duty servicemembers and federal workers are paid after Republican extremists led us to a brink of a government shutdown.
No matter what he tells Pennsylvanians, the truth is that Fitzpatrick voted to:
Defund law enforcement by slashing funding for the FBI, DEA and other cuts that could lead to the elimination of hundreds of state and local law enforcement nationwide.
Cut funding for the Social Security Administration (SSA) that could lead to closing SSA field offices that seniors rely on.
Defunded nutritional aid for pregnant moms, housing subsidies for the poor, and medical research for cancer.
Slash education funding that could lead to the loss of nearly 150,000 teachers and service providers and kick 275,000 kids out of Head Start.
Cut SBA Entrepreneurial Development programs that support small businesses by 30%, potentially cutting support to 400,000 small businesses.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“At the end of the day, voters will remember that Brian Fitzpatrick voted to cut funding for critical government services that millions of Pennsylvanians rely on. Fitzpatrick showed that he cares more about pleasing his party bosses than he does about the middle class families in his district.”
