| If you want to know just how vulnerable Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick is, all you have to do is follow the money.
1. FITZPATRICK IS LAUNCHING A SIX-FIGURE JOINT AD BUY WITH D.C. REPUBLICANS STARTING IN JUNE – UNUSUALLY EARLY. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that “The $120,000 worth of cable TV ads represent the first foray by the NRCC in any Pennsylvania district.” Asked about the ad buy, a Temple University political science professor told The Inquirer: “They have a new level of concern that they didn’t have before” and that it “means that their polling has shown them they’ve got a problem.”
2. FITZPATRICK HAS ALREADY SPENT ROUGHLY $3M THIS CYCLE – INCLUDING ON MEDDLING IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. The Inquirer reported last month that “Fitzpatrick has already spent $2.81 million from Jan. 1, 2025, to April 29, 2026,” which is nearly as much as he spent throughout the entirety of his last reelection campaign. That spending notably included “spending on attack ads against Harvie prior to the May 19 primary” – confirming prior reporting which revealed that Fitzpatrick, like other MAGA allies, tried to meddle in the Democratic primary out of fear of facing his opponent Bob Harvie.
3. FITZPATRICK IS CASHING CHECKS FROM SPECIAL INTEREST & MAGA DONORS, AND HE’S FUNDRAISING WITH MIKE JOHNSON. Fitzpatrick’s campaign finance reports show that he has “taken millions of dollars from GOP megadonors, House Republican leaders, and Wall Street interests.” Just a few weeks ago, Speaker Mike Johnson traveled to Bucks County to hold a high-dollar fundraiser for Fitzpatrick’s campaign.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“If you want to know just how vulnerable Brian Fitzpatrick is, all you have to do is follow the money. While Bucks and Montgomery County families face skyrocketing prices because of his votes in Washington, Fitzpatrick is cashing checks from special interest donors and teaming up with Donald Trump’s Republican henchmen to try and save his seat. Even he knows that we will flip this seat in November.” |
