Bob Brooks is the Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania's 7th district, which is represented by freshman Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, who flipped this seat in 2024 with just 50.5% of the vote. This is an R+1 seat and a "Toss Up" race for 2026 that could end up deciding control of the House.
Bob is a first time candidate who is a longtime firefighter and union leader. He blends a working class background with strong support for populist economic policies. Bob has raised an impressive $600,000 so far, and he won the primary definitively on May 19th, defeating three other well-funded candidates for the nomination.
He's also built an impressive coalition of endorsements, including Gov. John Shapiro, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Chris Deluzio, Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Ruben Gallego, and many labor unions.
Bob is a strong supporter of taxing the rich, raising the minimum wage, and getting corporate PAC money out of politics, and Patriotic Millionaires is proud to support his campaign.
