New polling from the DCCC highlights that Brian Fitzpatrick’s war on women’s rights could cost him his seat in 2024.
According to the poll, when both candidates were introduced with balanced biographies, the race was 44% Ehasz / 49% Fitzpatrick. However, “once voters hear a single message about Fitzpatrick’s anti-choice record, the race flips to 50% Ehasz / 43% Fitzpatrick, an extraordinary net shift from -5 to +7 Ehasz.”
Voters in PA-01 aren’t satisfied with Fitzpatrick’s representation. The vulnerable Republican has a tepid 39% approval rating. What’s more, voters’ perceptions of Fitzpatrick are malleable. At the beginning of the survey “only 40% of respondents believed that Fitzpatrick would vote for a national abortion ban,” but after hearing the reality of his anti-choice record that number jumps to 68%.
Fitzpatrick has a lengthy anti-abortion record. In Congress he has voted for a nationwide abortion ban that would rip away reproductive rights from women across the county, calling it “a good starting point.”
During the primary he also “mailed a letter to constituents promoting the right-wing agenda” — including his vote for legislation that attacks women’s reproductive rights and punishes doctors.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“This poll confirms what we already knew — Brian Fitzpatrick is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. His anti-abortion agenda is catching up with him and it will cost him his reelection.”
