FEC Filings “Confirm GOP Meddling” In Failed Effort to Stop Firefighter Bob Brooks Because They Know He’ll Win

It’s a direct admission that national Republicans fear Bob

Filings submitted to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) confirm what we already knew: Republicans are terrified of facing firefighter Bob Brooks because they know he will flip Pennsylvania’s 7th District. 

The reports confirm that Republicans spent nearly $2 million to meddle against Bob during the primary. Their money went up in smoke.



It’s worth asking Congressman Ryan Mackenzie and his campaign: Did he ask his party bosses to spend against Bob because he fears losing to him in November?

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“DC Republicans lit nearly $2 million on fire to try and stop firefighter Bob Brooks because even they know he will win in November. A working class guy and 20-year firefighter who ran into burning buildings to keep his community safe will crush their weak career politician who has ripped away health care and made life more expensive for working families.”
