Brian Fitzpatrick Useless as PA-01 Constituents Face SEPTA Rate Hike

Bucks and Montgomery County residents could be stuck with higher costs and reduced transit service if Pennsylvania Republicans fail to take action as SEPTA faces a financial cliff due to inaction from Harrisburg and Washington Republicans. 

So what has self-proclaimed independent Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick said about the issue? Crickets. 

Instead of advocating for his constituents, here’s what Fitzpatrick has done in Washington: 

  • Been silent as DOGE cuts slash funding from the Department of Transportation.
  • Repeatedly voted for legislation in Congress that cuts transportation funding.

Back at home in PA-01?

  • More silence as State Senate Republicans show their contempt for local residents and stand in the way of Governor Shapiro’s plan to fund SEPTA.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Brian Fitzpatrick talks a big game about being a bipartisan deal maker, but he’s been completely silent as SEPTA heads toward a financial cliff because of Harrisburg Republicans – and now his Bucks and Montgomery County constituents are about to get stuck with the bill.”
