DEMOCRATFACTS

STATE OF RACE: 

Voters are hearing from the Mackenzie campaign, in both English and Spanish, why Bob Brooks can’t be trusted to put Pennsylvania families first. Brooks has shown that when given the choice between looking out for himself and doing right by the people who depend on him, he puts himself first — even when it comes to his own family. At the same time, voters are learning who Ryan Mackenzie is: a husband and father who understands who he’s fighting for and believes Pennsylvania families deserve someone in Washington who will put them first.

Separately from the Mackenzie campaign, voters need to continue hearing in both English and Spanish about the controversies surrounding Bob Brooks’s record and conduct. Across his business dealings, his leadership of the union, and his personal dealings, Brooks has faced documented disputes that raise questions about his judgment and how he has treated people who relied on him. Those episodes provide voters additional information as they decide whether Brooks’s record reflects the priorities they want represented in Washington.
