Pennsylvania Democrats: Weak, Fake, and Failed Leadership

Pennsylvania Democrats have baggage, scandals, and controversies.

BOB HARVIE (PA-01) IS FULL OF SCANDALS


  • Bob Harvie, Bucks County Commissioner, played politics with children’s lives when he replaced a popular school resource officer from a local high school without first consulting law enforcement.
  • Harvie came under fire for counting invalid ballots during a Senate recount.
    • This fueled an effort to oust Harvie with a petition to impeach him receiving over 4,000 signatures.
  • Harvie used thousands of taxpayers’ dollars from an opioid settlement to fund an LGBTQ club for teenagers.
  • Harvie was wrapped up in an FBI investigation of a pay-to-play scandal while he served as Falls Township Supervisor.

BOB BROOKS (PA-07) IS INAUTHENTIC AND A HYPOCRITE 


  • The Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee has anointed Brooks as their preferred candidate, creating a messy primary and a headache for national Democrats.
  • Brooks is inauthentic.
    • Brooks has billed himself as a “working class fighter” but struggled to answer what that means when confronted by a voter in an embarrassing gaffe.
    • Brooks was caught on camera being coached by a Pete Buttigieg staffer on how to be more authentic.
  • Brooks was caught airing out inter-party drama when he suggested that Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro asked Brooks to endorse a Republican treasurer, only for Brooks to walk back the comments when he was called out by his fellow Democrats.
  • Brooks is already outing himself as a phony:
    • He recently released an agenda where he calls for a ban on members of Congress to trade stocks, become lobbyists, institute term limits, overturn a landmark Supreme Court finance case, and break up corporate monopolies.
    • Brooks has already broken those promises, owning hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of stocks, being a registered lobbyist, refusing to sign a term limits pledge, taking dark money, and investing in corporate monopolies.
  • Brooks is too extreme for Pennsylvania as he’s stated he wants to “haul and charge” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who are tasked with arresting and deporting illegal criminals.
  • Amidst all of his campaign woes, Brooks is also being sued by his former mother-in-law for defrauding her of more than $162,000.

PAIGE COGNETTI (PA-08) IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA


JANELLE STELSON (PA-10) IS A CARPETBAGGER

  • Janelle Stelson is a carpetbagger who owns a home 25 miles outside the district she wants to represent, only renting within the district to secure temporary residency while she campaigns.
    • Stelson was born in Alaska, raised in Seattle, and started her career in Washington, D.C., before moving to Pennsylvania.
  • Stelson has admitted that she would raise taxes if elected.
  • Stelson refuses to support commonsense voter ID laws that an overwhelming majority of Americans support.
  • Stelson has made racist comments, calling Asian restaurants “cat bars.”
