FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 14, 2026 Contact: Matthew Beynon – mbeynon@brabendercox.com ***PRESS RELEASE*** Elections Have Consequences What A Democrat Trifecta Would Mean For Pennsylvania HARRISBURG, PA – As the 2026 midterm elections hit the Fall campaign season, the Garrity for PA campaign wanted to take a quick look at what this year’s gubernatorial election means to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. From the start, Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) and his liberal Harrisburg allies have made it clear that their goal this November is to elect a Democrat “trifecta” in Harrisburg – where they would have total control of both chambers of the state legislature and the Governor’s mansion. It’s no secret why this is important to Josh Shapiro, who desperately wants to bolster his liberal resume to run for President, but what would this mean for hardworking Pennsylvania families? Here is a small sample of what Pennsylvania could expect if Democrats gain total control of Harrisburg: Increased Taxes, Higher Regulatory Burden, And A More Unaffordable Pennsylvania: Under Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania families already face the 5 th highest tax burden in the nation and Pennsylvania businesses deal with 166,000 regulations that create a roadblock to growth. To plug the massive $5 billion budget hole he’s created, Josh Shapiro will be left with one option: raise taxes, leaving Pennsylvania families already struggling to make ends meet with even worse choices when the bills come due each month. Gerrymandered, Mid-Decade Congressional Redistricting: Everyone knows Josh Shapiro wants to run for President and if he wants to compete with liberal champions like Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA), what better way to appeal to national liberals than provide them with reinforcements in Congress. This means redrawing congressional districts and turning Pennsylvania from evenly divided into a deep blue congressional delegation that does not represent the Commonwealth’s values in Washington. Elimination of Girls’ High School Athletics: If Josh Shapiro had his way, biological boys would be allowed to compete in girls’ high school athletics. Josh Shapiro has already called anyone who opposes biological boys in girls’ sports “extremists,” and his new health regulations make it clear that his administration does not define genders according to science. It’s clear that he has no problem allowing girls’ athletics to be further eroded and taking opportunities away from them in a second term. Single-payer Healthcare: The liberal dream has always been a national single-payer healthcare system and Josh Shapiro could fulfill that dream by signing State Senator Nikil Saval’s proposal, which would create a state-administered, single-payer health system and a new “Office of Healthcare” to offer state-sponsored coverage to all Pennsylvanians without copays, deductibles, or caps. Gun Grabs: If there is a restriction on Second Amendment rights, Josh Shapiro is for it. Just two years ago, Shapiro was lauded by national gun control advocates for his efforts, and if given all the levers of power in Harrisburg for the first time in his career you are guaranteed to see him restrict gun rights in Pennsylvania – a state that has the second highest number of licensed hunters in the entire nation, trailing only Texas. On-demand, Taxpayer-funded Abortion: For all the questions Republican candidates receive about abortion exceptions, Josh Shapiro has never once answered the question of when abortion should be regulated. In fact, his administration has even refused to enforce the 40-year-old Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act that was passed by a bipartisan vote and administered by both Republican and Democrat governors. Next step for Shapiro is using Pennsylvania tax dollars to fund abortion anytime for any reason in the Commonwealth. We’ve already gotten a taste of what a second-term Shapiro-Davis Administration would look like with the release of their 502-page health code revision that made Governor Tom Wolf’s (D-PA) COVID-era restrictions look tame and are so extreme that they replace the terms “pregnant woman” with “pregnant individual.” Elections have consequences and this year that statement could not be more true.

For Immediate Release: September 9, 2026 Contact: info@robforpa.com Dallas, TX - In case you missed it, Congressman Rob Bresnahan (R-PA-08) addressed the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday, highlighting his record of delivering tax relief for Northeastern Pennsylvania's workers and manufacturers ahead of November's midterm elections. Bresnahan, who ran and grew his family's electrical contracting business before coming to Congress, spoke about the overtime tax relief delivered through the Working Families Tax Cut Act and the need to rebuild America's manufacturing workforce through technical schools, apprenticeships, and union training programs. “Before I ever ran for Congress, I ran a family business. I made decisions that affected our workers, their families, and the future of our company. I know what communities like ours can do when they’re given a fair shot,” Rep. Bresnahan said. “In Northeastern Pennsylvania we work until the job is done and those extra hours should mean more money in your pocket,” he continued . “That’s why we delivered tax relief on overtime through the Working Families Tax Cut Act. That extra money reaches the diner down the street, the local grocery store, and the family buying their first home. That’s how you build communities where people can stay, raise a family, and build a life.” Bresnahan closed his remarks by introducing Nora Pruitt, a mother of seven from Maryland who he said works at a welding factory that is thriving because of the tax cuts. “I am proud to be standing here tonight with one of those workers, a mother from just across the border in Maryland,” Bresnahan said . “Nora Pruitt and her husband Jason have seven beautiful children. And she works at a welding factory in Baltimore that is thriving because of the Working Families Tax Cuts that Republicans passed and President Trump signed into law.” See his remarks here .

Pittston, PA — Rob for PA today released two new TV ads, “Produce” and “Archbald,” highlighting Congressman Rob Bresnahan’s work in Congress to lower costs, support Northeastern Pennsylvania’s farmers, and keep decisions about local communities in local hands. “PRODUCE”: BRESNAHAN’S LOCAL FARMERS FEEDING OUR COMMUNITIES ACT WATCH “PRODUCE” HERE “Produce” highlights Bresnahan’s Local Farmers Feeding our Communities Act, bipartisan legislation included in this year’s Farm Bill (H.R. 7567) that connects local farmers directly with community food programs. The ad shows that paying farmers for their surplus produce means fresher food at a lower cost for NEPA families. “ARCHBALD”: BRESNAHAN’S LOCAL CONTROL PROTECTION ACT WATCH “ARCHBALD” HERE “Archbald” is named for the Lackawanna County borough that has fought off more proposed data center campuses than any other municipality in Pennsylvania. The ad highlights Bresnahan’s Local Control Protection Act (H.R. 9262), which requires local approval before a data center can be built and shields communities from being sued by billion-dollar developers when they say no. Together, “Produce” and “Archbald” underscore the same message: Rob Bresnahan is fighting in Washington for Northeastern Pennsylvania to ensure we lower costs, support our farmers who feed Northeastern Pennsylvania and support the communities working to protect their own backyards.

In July, Townhall reported that Bob Brooks , the Democrat running for the House in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, has a history of financial troubles. That report stems from suspicious donations sent to his campaign and ongoing litigation over property transferred to his current wife to avoid paying his former in-laws a $130,000 debt. But it seems that's not the only financial trouble Brooks has had. In fact, court records show multiple financial issues, including foreclosures, liens, and debt collections. On June 16, 2004, Blue Eagle Custom Builders, Inc. filed a lien naming Robert Brooks in Northampton County Court . That lien was released the same day. The reason for the lien's release is unclear. But in October 2005, Brooks filed a lawsuit against Blue Eagle Custom Builders , Inc. That case was disposed in 2007. In 2012, Wells Fargo filed a foreclosure against Brooks . That case was discontinued without prejudice in 2018. That same year, another lien was filed against Brooks, this time involving Midland Funding. That lien was in the amount of $5,480.84 . The case remains open, although the status is unclear, but a 2019 filing showed the court directed the sheriff to garnish Brooks' assets to satisfy this debt. A second judgment was entered against Brooks in 2012, this time involving a debt-collection case with FIA Card Services. That judgment was in the amount of $7,872.59 and reported as satisfied in 2024. U.S. Bank also filed a second foreclosure against Brooks in June 2016. That case was closed in December 2016. The $130,000 court-ordered judgment against Brooks isn't going away, either. The balance on that debt has now grown to over $162,000 while the lawsuit works its way through the courts. On August 5, a Northampton County judge ruled that the fraud lawsuit against Brooks — brought by his former in-laws — may proceed. Brooks continues to deny any wrongdoing in that case. But what's most concerning is Brooks' federal financial disclosures. His original 2025 disclosure failed to list that judgment on that disclosure. One of Brooks' Democrat opponents, Ryan Crosswell, called out Brooks for his falsified disclosure, specifically in relation to the $130,000 judgment. "Because he didn't include it in his previous disclosures, voters only learned about it when his mother-in-law filed a fraud lawsuit against him in February," Crosswell wrote. "Only then did his campaign admit they intentionally didn't disclose this debt in their House Ethics filing." Crosswell then linked to a piece in the Lehigh Valley News covering that lawsuit . Brooks also failed to list a pension that he bragged about having from his time as a firefighter with the city of Bethlehem. While that page is no longer accessible, Brooks said "I personally have a good pension from 20 years of working for the City of Bethlehem as a firefighter, but I'm one of the lucky ones. Every hardworking American, especially young people, should be afforded the opportunity to get a pension, and that starts by passing the PRO Act and giving everyone the chance to join a union." Divorce records also show Brooks had a 457 retirement account through the City of Bethlehem. With the election two months away and mail-in voting starting soon, Pennsylvania voters deserve to know what's going on with Brooks and his financial history. But Brooks wants to hide this from the public, and has — so far — refused to debate his Republican opponent, Rep. Ryan Mackenzie. Mackenzie has agreed to multiple debate opportunities in September so that voters can hear from both candidates on the issues. Brooks has either declined or ignored these opportunities. Instead, Brooks has agreed to a debate arrangement that would have part of the debate not air until just before Election Day. Is Brooks hiding from voters because he doesn't want to answer questions about his financial history, court proceedings, and financial disclosures? While Ryan Mackenzie is ready to debate, Brooks is delaying facing voters. And voters in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District deserve accountability, transparency, and the full story before they cast a single ballot. Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 28, 2026 Contact: Matthew Beynon – mbeynon@brabendercox.com ***PRESS RELEASE*** Garrity Comments On Tragic Lancaster County Deaths And Responds To Josh Shapiro’s Political Theater HARRISBURG, PA – State Treasurer and Republican nominee for Governor Stacy Garrity (R-PA) issued the following statement in response to Governor Josh Shapiro’s (D-PA) proposed public-health mandates and his irresponsible press conference following tragic deaths in Lancaster County. Stacy Garrity said: “Josh Shapiro recently proposed public health mandates that would make draconian COVID-era restrictions blush. Among other measures, his proposed regulatory scheme would allow his Department of Health henchmen to conduct warrantless searches of private property, access patients’ confidential medical records, and require schools to give those officials one-on-one, private access to students.” Shapiro took his irresponsible behavior to the next level on Tuesday when he prematurely held a press conference claiming that two deaths in Lancaster County were as a result of a measles outbreak. However, as reported by LNP , Shapiro’s press conference took the Lancaster County coroner by “surprise” because as of Thursday the coroner’s office still had zero measles deaths. “Earlier this week, he demonstrated just how dangerous his proposed mandates could be when he held a highly staged partisan press conference in Lancaster County to discuss the deaths of two Pennsylvanians, but became dismissive when questioned about the actual facts. Today, there are still more questions than answers, largely because Josh Shapiro refuses to share the relevant information – proving once again that he is the least transparent governor in modern Pennsylvania history. Lost amid Josh Shapiro’s political theater is the tragedy of two deaths, including that of a newborn who never had a chance to experience life. My heart aches for the families and friends mourning the loss of their loved ones, and they will remain in my prayers. If I were governor today, I’d be working closely with ALL Lancaster County and federal officials – regardless of political party – using facts, not fear, to inform the public and protect public health. I would certainly not be bickering with local and federal officials or acting like I can go it alone,” Garrity continued. Shapiro’s irresponsible press conference comes on the heels of outrage sparked over his proposed public-health mandates that have entered a public comment period. Serious concerns have been raised over the Shapiro Administration’s proposal and its potential infringement on privacy and individual liberties. “Josh Shapiro clearly hasn’t learned anything about sound public health policy, creating trust, or communications in the last six years – and it shows. He’s pretending to be a strong governor because he’s just not good at being a good governor. Authority over public health is too consequential to be concentrated in the hands of one person – especially someone so willing and eager to turn matters of life and death into partisan political theater. I urge Josh Shapiro to immediately withdraw his oppressive proposed regulatory overreach scheme and work with the legislature and others to protect both individual rights and public health. Pennsylvania voters rejected his dictatorial style of public health overreach during COVID, and they will do so again if necessary,” Garrity concluded. PAID FOR BY GARRITY FOR PA
