Hi Pamela, my name is Bob Brooks. I'm running to defeat Ryan Mackenzie in PA-07, one of the most competitive districts in the country. This race isn't just close — it's critical. Voters here in the Lehigh Valley know that Washington is broken, and frankly, most people in Congress haven't lived a day like us. Well, I'm not like most politicians. As a firefighter, I spent 20 years of my life running into burning buildings and fighting for working families — not just talking about them. That's the difference in this race.

Bethlehem forged the steel in the skyscrapers that showed American toughness. Carbon County gave us power and pride. We build trucks, built the middle class, and it's a great place to raise a family. But today, folks here are struggling. Washington isn't helping and too often it's making things worse. Our Congressman right now, Ryan Mackenzie, just voted for Trump's so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" — kicking thousands of folks in this district off Medicaid and SNAP, all to pay for big tax cuts for the richest one percent. He's traveling around to local small businesses, spreading Donald Trump's talking points instead of listening to what hard working folks really need back at home. There's a lot of folks like Mackenzie in Washington, but there aren't a lot like me. I spent my career serving the people here and learning from them. I worked hard for everything I got — even when that meant working 2 or 3 jobs at once. I climbed a different kind of career ladder — I was a firefighter for 20 years. I drove the truck, ran into burning buildings, and ran my union to win better pay and healthcare for our workers. I'm running to bring that same fight to Congress — to fight the fires of corruption and make sure the people in PA-07 get the respect and resources they deserve. We're going to make things more affordable, get healthcare to more families, and rebuild our communities — not let billionaires tear them apart. This district is one of the most competitive in the country. So if you're sick and tired of business as usual in Washington, I'm going to need your help if we're going to change it. Can I count on you to help me kick off my campaign on the right foot? If you're ready to make real change in Washington, then please donate to my campaign today → If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately: Chip in $10 now Chip in $25 now Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now Chip in $250 now other amount Thank you, Bob Paid for by Bob Brooks for Congress.   Sent via ActionNetwork.org.
