Brian's Positions on Key Issues
Economy
HighBrian Fitzpatrick voted against President Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods, aligning with a bipartisan effort, citing economic harm to his district. He emphasized that unpredictable trade policy affects payrolls and investment decisions, stating his obligation to defend his district and the constitutional framework, prioritizing economic and institutional considerations over partisan ones. Additionally, Fitzpatrick co-introduced the bipartisan Protect America's Workforce Act, aiming to reverse the administration's actions against federal unions.
““When trade policy becomes unpredictable, it affects payrolls, investment decisions, and long-term planning,” he said. “My obligation is to defend both my district and the constitutional framework that protects us over the long term. This is not a partisan calculation; it is an economic and institutional one.” (Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, TIME.com)”
Immigration
HighCongressman Brian Fitzpatrick advocates for bipartisan immigration reform and enhanced border security. He co-chairs the Problem Solvers Caucus and has requested meetings with the President to advance solutions that secure the border and acknowledge immigrants' contributions. Additionally, he supports the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, the Secure the Border Act, and The Equal Representation Act, which aim to strengthen voter citizenship requirements, improve border enforcement, and exclude non-citizens from congressional apportionment.
“If we work together, there will be dramatically less need for enforcement, and we can focus on those violent criminals that must be deported, and on the positive contributions of the millions of immigrants who work hard, raise families, work together with law enforcement, and who contribute so much to our nation, as have so many generations of immigrants who came before them. - Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair, January 27, 2026”
Healthcare
HighBrian Fitzpatrick voted against the 2017 GOP effort to repeal Obamacare, finding the replacement insufficient. He advocates for extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, citing affordability as a crisis for constituents. Fitzpatrick filed a discharge petition for his Bipartisan Health Insurance Affordability Act to prevent ACA premium spikes, which aims to extend enhanced premium tax credits through 2027 and address PBM profits. He emphasizes that immediate action is needed to protect families from unaffordable increases.
““Congress cannot sit idle while American families face a preventable crisis. Our job is to protect the people we serve, and that responsibility demands immediate action.” - Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, paproviders.org, December 10, 2025”
Climate & Energy
HighRep. Brian Fitzpatrick is preparing to introduce legislation to reinstate clean energy tax credits for solar and wind, having voted against the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' that cut them. He argues that utilizing all energy sources, especially renewables, is crucial for lowering energy costs and enhancing energy independence, a national security issue. He also co-introduced the bipartisan 'Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act' with Rep. Paul D. Tonko.
“If you want to lower energy costs, you got to utilize every single source you have. Moreover, renewables are critical in energy independence, which is a national security issue. I don’t understand the perspective." - Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, E&E News by POLITICO, 02/05/2026”
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
HighBrian Fitzpatrick has voted against abortion rights, including twice opposing the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would have codified Roe v. Wade protections. He also supported a nationwide abortion ban, describing it as "a good starting point," and voted for bills that limit access to reproductive health care. Following the Supreme Court's decision on Roe v. Wade, he stated that legislative consideration "must always seek to achieve bipartisan consensus that both respects a woman’s privacy and autonomy, and also respects the sanctity of human life."
“Any legislative consideration must always seek to achieve bipartisan consensus that both respects a woman’s privacy and autonomy, and also respects the sanctity of human life," Fitzpatrick said. "I urge all state legislatures to always start from a place of empathy and compassion. Any legislative consideration must start with the process of seeing the world through other people’s eyes, and walking the world in other people’s shoes." (Brian Fitzpatrick, Bucks County Courier Times, 2022/06/24)”
Foreign Policy
HighBrian Fitzpatrick co-introduced the Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act in May 2025, which aims to prohibit foreign nationals from influencing American elections at any level, including ballot initiatives. He emphasizes that U.S. elections must be protected from foreign interference to safeguard democracy. Fitzpatrick has also expressed support for Ukraine, stating the need to signal to the world that Congress cares about the country. Additionally, he voted to terminate the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for foreign travelers (H.R. 185).
““American people. Foreign nationals have no place influencing our laws, our ballots, or our future. Whether it’s a presidential race or a local referendum, every taxpayer-funded election must be protected from foreign interference. This bipartisan legislation closes a dangerous loophole and sends a clear message: our democracy is not for sale,” said Fitzpatrick.

Education
HighBrian Fitzpatrick supports full funding for Part A of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, advocating for access, resources, and funding for children. He introduced the Student Loan Refinancing and Recalculation Act to allow refinancing and lower future interest rates, also supporting the College Transparency Act. He states that a strong public education system is vital for national prosperity and is committed to strengthening protections for students.
“My commitment has always been—and will remain—to put our students first and ensure that the protections they rely on are strengthened—and never weakened. - Brian Fitzpatrick (U.S. Department of Education Statement, November 18, 2025)”
Gun Policy
HighRepresentative Brian Fitzpatrick has supported various gun policy measures, including sponsoring the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2023 and voting to pass legislation to close the Charleston loophole. He also supported an assault weapons ban and played a key role in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022. Fitzpatrick emphasized the need to identify root causes of violence and address them immediately through comprehensive background checks and prohibiting military assault weapons.
““As we pray as a nation for all the victims and families devastated by the Parkland school shooting, we must not allow yet another tragedy to go unanswered. It is incumbent upon all of us to identify the root causes of this senseless violence and move to address it immediately,” said Fitzpatrick. “All options must be on the table, including comprehensive background checks, a bump stock ban, prohibiting the sale of military assault weapons and full funding for gun violence research in a comprehensive manner that could have prevented tragedies like this. This Congress can, and must, take meaningful action to put aside partisanship and work toward solutions.””
