Bob Brooks wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District
Brooks won with about 41% of the vote, setting up a fall matchup in a district seen as a key House battleground.
- On Tuesday, firefighter union leader Bob Brooks won the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, besting a crowded field to secure the party's nomination.
- In November, Brooks will face incumbent Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, who flipped the competitive 7th District in 2024 by around one percentage point in a seat President Donald Trump carried by around 8 points.
- A Bethlehem firefighter for 20 years, Brooks leads the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association and has secured endorsements from the International Association of Firefighters and Teamsters Local 773.
- Targeting the status quo, Brooks called Washington a "dumpster fire" while advocating for term limits as the district has already drawn more than $11 million in advertising spending.
- Democrats need to net three seats nationwide to regain control of the House, making this Pennsylvania race one of several critical contests that will determine the chamber's balance.
