Brian Fitzpatrick is a Levittown native, former FBI Special Agent, and Federal Prosecutor currently serving as the U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District. A graduate of Bishop Egan High School, La Salle University, and Penn State, Fitzpatrick spent nearly 15 years in federal law enforcement before entering Congress in 2017. While he is consistently ranked as the most bipartisan member of the House and chairs the Problem Solvers Caucus, his voting record reflects a strategic balance: he frequently crosses party lines on social issues and animal welfare but remains a reliable vote for GOP leadership on high-stakes procedural measures, Speaker elections, and key fiscal legislation. Now residing in Middletown Township, his 2026 campaign emphasizes his unique ability to navigate a hyper-polarized Washington.
