John,
Republicans in Harrisburg are trying to gut SEPTA’s funding, and force service cuts and fare hikes for working families.
As I said at yesterday’s press conference, the attack on SEPTA–just like Trump’s Budget Bill–is an assault on working families.
Brian Fitzpatrick cast a deciding vote to advance Republicans’ bill that takes healthcare away from hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians. Now, he’s nowhere to be found with SEPTA service at risk. That’s why we need to flip this seat. Click here to donate now.

"Bucks County Commissioner Bob Harvie, who also sits on SEPTA’s board, said the failure to fund mass transit represents “an assault on working families” in the region. Harvie said in the year and a half since he joined the board, the agency launched an austerity program that saved more than $30 million a year.” |
This isn’t just about SEPTA, communities across Pennsylvania rely on public transit. Public transit is a lifeline for working people, students, seniors, and families across our region. SEPTA funding is vital to keeping our economy moving and making sure people can get to work, school, sporting events, concerts, and medical appointments safely and affordably. With school starting soon, working families and students are about to be negatively impacted. We need the funding — which comes from our state budget — to move forward.
We need leaders who will stand up for our communities, not sit on the sidelines. That’s who I am. If you’re with me, click here to help me flip this seat from red-to-blue and get things done for our community. |
It's time to clean house. Brian Fitzpatrick is not fighting for us, and when working families need him, he remains silent. Unlike Fitzpatrick, who hasn’t held an in-person town hall in 8 years, I’ll keep showing up. I’ll continue holding town halls to listen, respond, and fight for the needs of the people of this district. Thank you for your support! — Bob Harvie |
