Today is the 60th anniversary of Medicaid β€” and Ryan Mackenzie voted to gut it. His vote rips healthcare from working families, hikes costs for seniors and kids, and threatens our hospitals. Disgraceful. We’re going to beat him. #PA07

Grateful to have the support of Josh Siegel and Tara Zrinskiβ€”two champions for working people. In Congress, I’ll be proud to partner with them to deliver for Lehigh and Northampton Counties and build a stronger, more prosperous Lehigh Valley.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Gerald Yob, the longest-serving mayor in Pennsylvania. Mayor Yob’s decades of dedicated service to his community are a true example of steady, effective leadership.

Together, we’re ready to bring that same commitment to DC and fight for the people of #PA07.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of former PA House Speaker Keith McCall, a proud son of Carbon County and a true public servant.

Together, we’re building the coalition to win. Let’s get it done.

Rising Inflation Underscores Risks in Trump’s New Tariff Threats

Trump’s reckless tariffs drove inflation up 2.7% and working families are paying the price. Ryan Mackenzie backs it all: higher grocery costs, food aid cuts, and middle-class pain. I’m running for Congress to put #PA07 first β€” not play partisan games.

Had a great time at the Slate Belt Pride Festival in Mt. Bethel! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Whether it’s in our cities or rural towns like this one, I’ll always show up for every corner of #PA07 β€” and I’ll always stand proudly as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.

I'm honored to have the support of Evette D’Amore, candidate for Allentown School Board. Evette is a tireless advocate for students, teachers, and working familiesβ€”and I’m proud to have her in this fight with me.

Together, we’ll deliver real results for #PA07.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Happy 4th of July!

Today, I’m thinking about family, country, and all those who came before usβ€”especially my dad. He taught me the values of hard work, public service, and loving this country enough to fight for its promise.

Wishing you and your family a safe and joyful Independence Day!

Ryan Mackenzie promised to lower prices. Instead, he voted to pass a Republican budget that will raise costs and gut medicaid β€”Β all to give billionaires another giant tax break.

I’m running to fire him and will work every single day to protect working families.

🚨Tonight’s our end-of-quarter FEC deadline.

Ryan Mackenzie is bought by Trump, Mike Johnson & dark money. PA-07 is sick of itβ€”we’re ready for new leadership that fights for working people.

The Trump-Mackenzie β€œBig Ugly Bill” adds $3.3T to the debt and kicks 11.8M off their health insurance.

It guts Medicaid and SNAP, for PA-07 families, just to give billionaires a break.

I’m running for Congress to fight for working peopleβ€”not Trump’s agenda.

Ryan Mackenzie is busy being a lapdog for Trump and the ultra-wealthy. He’s not looking out for us.

Ryan Mackenzie won’t face voters, won’t defend his record, and won’t show up. But we will.

Help us flip #PA07 and send a real fighter for working families to Congress. Chip in today:

Last week, I spoke to a room of concerned #PA07 residents at a town hall about the harmful impacts of the so-called β€œBig Beautiful Bill”—a massive handout to the wealthy that leaves working families behind.

Ryan Mackenzie was invited. He didn’t show.

Today marks 3 years since the Dobbs decision, a ruling that stripped away reproductive freedom from millions of women across this country.

Ryan Mackenzie cheered it on. If we want to protect our rights, we need leaders who will fight for themβ€”not against them.

Honored to have the support of former Carbon County District Attorneys Gary Dobias and Jean Engler as we work to flip #PA07.

I'm proud to have a strong team behind me in every corner of the district, united in our fight to deliver for working people and restore common sense in Washington.

On #Juneteenth, we honor the day freedom finally reached the last enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

It’s a powerful reminder of how far we've come, and how much work remains. Together, we’ll keep pushing for justice and equality.

A little rain couldn't stop the fun at the 17th Annual Blues, Brews, and Barbecue festival in downtown Allentown!

I had a great time talking with folks, enjoying incredible local BBQ, and soaking in the amazing live music. Always proud to celebrate what makes our community so special.

Rep. Mackenzie: 'No Kings' protesters went too far U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh Valley, got an earful from a constituent Saturday after he accused protesters of feeding a charged political environment that's led to assassinations.

While loved ones mourn the loss of Rep. Hortman and pray for the recovery of Sen. Hoffman, Mackenzie had the gall to compare peaceful protest to a brutal, politically motivated attack.

It’s disgracefulβ€”and it’s exactly why he has no business in Congress.

Had a great time at the St. George Middle Eastern Heritage Festival! Grateful for the warm welcome, the incredible food, and the chance to celebrate a community whose culture and traditions help make #PA07 so special.

Political violence has no place in a civilized society. Our democracy depends on settling our differences with ballots, not bullets. We must all speak with one voice to condemn political violence in all its formsβ€”our Republic depends on it.

I’m heartbroken and disgusted by the targeted political attack that took the lives of State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. My prayers are with State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

Iran must never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. We need steady, serious American leadership to end Iran’s nuclear program for good.

My thoughts are with our brave service members abroad, the people of Israel, and all innocent civilians in harm’s way.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Pastor Phil Davisβ€”a powerful voice for justice, equality, and service in our community.

Pastor Davis has spent his life lifting others up, and I’m proud to have his support as we fight to build a better future for working families across #PA07.

One things for damn sure: when I’m in Congress, I won’t stay quietβ€”and I sure as hell won’t vote to strip vital services from hardworking Americans. I’ll take on Trump and the billionaires and fight for working people.
