Brian Fitzpatrick Shows His Cowardice As Shutdowns in Washington and Harrisburg Hurt Bucks & MoCo Families

And Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick isn’t helping. 

Because of Fitzpatrick’s failures in Washington:

• Nearly 500K Pennsylvanians who receive their health care through Pennie “are about to see healthcare premiums soar by an average of 102%”;
• Nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians are at risk of losing SNAP assistance and could be forced to go without food;
• And more than 300,000 Pennsylvanians may not receive critical funding to help pay their electric bills and heat their homes heading into the colder months.

Meanwhile in Harrisburg, Fitzpatrick’s Republican buddies in the state senate are holding the state budget hostage – school districts are left to take out loans, early education programs are strapped for cash, and Bucks and MoCo are left to make impossible decisions.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Bucks and Montgomery families are getting screwed over by Republicans in Harrisburg and Washington like Brian Fitzpatrick who would rather shut down the government than do anything to actually lower people’s costs. After nearly a decade in Washington, Brian Fitzpatrick isn’t solving anybody’s problems – he’s just making things worse.”
