It looks like Brian Fitzpatrick is doing damage control after energy and labor leaders across Pennsylvania this week slammed the congressman for voting to gut clean energy tax credits.
Fitzpatrick today sent a letter to the Senate asking them to “mitigate” the negative impacts of his own vote, which could reportedly lead to “the loss of more than 4,300 jobs, and the closure of up to 20 current or pending factories in Pennsylvania.”
Reminder: Fitzpatrick cast the deciding vote to take a “sledgehammer” to Pennsylvania’s clean energy industry. His vote could jack up energy costs, eliminate good-paying Pennsylvania jobs, and undermine energy security.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Brian Fitzpatrick is scrambling to do damage control after Pennsylvania energy and labor leaders spoke out against his vote to gut commonsense energy tax credits. Instead of participating in a letter writing campaign, Fitzpatrick should have voted against the bill.”
