PA-07: Bob Brooks (D) receives Working Families Party endorsement in race
The congressional primary in the Lehigh Valley is heating up.
Bob Brooks, a Bethlehem firefighter and the president of the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association, received an endorsement for his congressional bid from the progressive Working Families Party on Tuesday.
Brooks, who’s received endorsements from the likes of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk, is one of several Democratic candidates looking to unseat freshman U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.
“Bob is the perfect example of a person we should be sending to D.C. because it’s time to elect real working-class leadership to Congress,” Nick Gavio, mid-Atlantic communications director for the Working Families Party, said in a statement. “We deserve representatives who come from the working class and will stand up for the working class, and that’s what Bob has done for his entire life and career. In Congress, he’ll fight to raise the minimum wage, tax billionaires to fund programs that benefit workers, and get big money and corporate interests out of our politics.”
