Clearing up misconceptions about Bob Harvie from Harvie’s campaign.

Political campaign season is ramping up and a pretty tight race is shaping up here between Bob Harvie and Brian Fitzpatrick. I have volunteered for the Harvie campaign before and they have shared with us rebuttals to the criticisms brought against him. These points are directly from the Harvie campaign.

“FBI Investigation”
Brian Fitzpatrick is lying about Bob Harvie. He is not under FBI Investigation, he testified as a witness, and no charges were ever brought. The Republicans tried to use this lie against Bob in 2023, the Republicans had to apologize, and Bob won. This is part of the same tired playbook that is untrue and doesn’t work against Bob Harvie.

Pay raise
The Bucks County Board of Commissioners also vote on the Salary Board. In 2022, all countywide officers received a 1% pay increase across the board for the next term (starting in January 2024). This was a bipartisan vote.

Property taxes
For the 2026 budget, The Bucks County Board of Commissioners raised taxes for Bucks County Property owners that cost about $70 per homeowner per year. These funds went to ensure that the Bucks County Budget was balanced and the tax increase was a difficult decision made in the face of Elon Musk’s “DOGE” and rising prices caused by disastrous tariff policies.

Also the Harvie campaign has a nice newsletter on staying updated on volunteer events. Would anyone here be interested in being added to the newsletter? There are canvassing (door knocking) events each weekend until the election. You can volunteer from as little as 1 hour to all day if you’d like. If you’d like to get involved you just have to email volunteer@bobharvieforcongress.com
