Funding, Staff, and Support for Every School: Where Bob Brooks Stands for Allentown’s Public School Families in 2026

The School Funding Choice Allentown Voters Are Facing

If you live in Allentown, you’re in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, and the 2026 US House race gives you a clear choice on public education. Bob Brooks, the Democratic candidate, will not support using federal money to hand vouchers to private schools while public schools are being starved. For Allentown, where so many families depend on the public schools, where he stands on that question matters this November.

Where Brooks Stands on Public Education

Brooks believes the federal government should make sure every school in the district has the funding, staff, and support it needs. His position flows from the rest of his platform: every dollar routed to a voucher program is a dollar that never reaches the classrooms Allentown kids sit in each morning, and he would rather strengthen the schools those students actually attend. That is a concrete commitment about the schools in this district, not a generic talking point about education in the abstract.

What Brooks’ Record Means for Allentown on November 3

Brooks spent two decades as a Lehigh Valley firefighter and now serves as president of the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association, and he talks about school funding the way he talks about every issue on his platform: show up, do the work, and fight for the people counting on you. That is the approach he would bring to making sure every school in the district has the resources it needs, instead of sending public money to private-school tuition. Allentown voters who want their public schools funded, staffed, and supported should support Bob Brooks for Congress on November 3. Register by October 19, 2026, and make a plan to vote.
