FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 7, 2024
Bucks County, PA – A coalition of Republican elected officials and community leaders came together today to endorse combat veteran and Democratic candidate Ashley Ehasz to be the next Representative for Pennsylvania’s 1st District. Republicans for Ehasz is led by Bucks County elected Republican officials Barry Moore, Northampton Township Supervisor, and Chuck Bristow, Ivyland Borough Council Member and Veteran.
“This November, I proudly support Army combat veteran Ashley Ehasz as the next Member of Congress for Pennsylvania’s First District. Despite Fitzpatrick knowing better, he repeatedly changes his position under pressure from party extremes - voting for a national abortion ban that would have overturned Pennsylvania state law yet now suddenly trying to claim that he supports women. Furthermore, he voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, which has driven down inflation, created thousands of jobs, and made historic investments to address climate change. We need someone like Ashley, who can lead us with courage and clarity and who will truly represent Bucks County in Washington,” Barry Moore states.
“Deciding to vote for Ashley in November was an easy decision,” Chuck Bristow adds. “Battle-tested and tough as they come, Ashley provides principled leadership we can trust to defend our democratic institutions and freedoms. Her opponent Brian Fitzpatrick claims to be moderate and bipartisan, yet he has backed the most extreme wings of the Republican party and failed to hold Trump accountable for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. PA-01 deserves a leader who embodies strength, conviction, and integrity to make tough decisions, and having commanded troops in the Army and flown attack helicopters over Baghdad, Ms. Ehasz has proven herself to be that leader.”
Ashley Ehasz says, “My entire professional career, beginning when I joined the Army at age 17 and took my oath of office to protect and defend the constitution against our foreign and domestic enemies, I have worked across the aisle in order to accomplish a common mission. That same principle holds true for this campaign. Together, we are building a diverse coalition of grassroots support that demonstrates that PA-01 voters are ready for change and ready to have pro-democracy, pro-choice leadership in Washington they can trust.”
The announcement of the Republicans for Ehasz coalition comes on the heels of Ehasz’s record breaking $1.25 million fundraising haul during the third quarter of 2024, the most raised in one quarter by a Democrat in PA-01 history.
