STATE OF RACE: 

Over the summer, Bucks County voters will learn from the Fitzpatrick campaign that career politician Bob Harvie puts himself ahead of taxpayers. The campaign will highlight Harvie’s authoritarian rhetoric and behavior, such as referring to himself as a “King” and voting to give himself a taxpayer-funded pay raise. The Fitzpatrick campaign will expose Harvie as what he is: a self-serving politician more focused on his own power and interests than the families he was elected to serve.

Voters in Bucks and Montgomery Counties should continue to learn about Bob Harvie’s record of troubling behavior and poor judgment:

• Power-hungry arrogance – He referred to himself as a “King” and systematically pushed out officials who dared to disagree with him.
• Self-Serving politician – Harvie voted himself a pay raise and used public money to throw a party in his own honor.
• Misuse of victims’ funds – He redirected money designated for families who lost children to drug overdoses, instead using it to fund unrelated social events.
• Hostility toward law enforcement – He compared police to Nazis and cast the vote to eliminate funding for local police.

These are not matters of policy disagreement — they reflect serious questions about Harvie’s character, judgment, and fitness for office. When voters in Bucks and Montgomery Counties learn the full picture of his conduct, they will find it very difficult to support him.
