The Education Question in Upper Macungie's 2026 House Race: Vouchers or Public School Funding

The Voucher Question Facing Upper Macungie Voters

If you live in Upper Macungie, you are in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, and the 2026 general election asks a direct question about public education: should federal tax dollars fund public schools, or pay for private school vouchers? Bob Brooks, the Democratic candidate, spent two decades as a Bethlehem firefighter and now leads the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association.

Where Bob Brooks Stands on School Funding

Brooks believes the federal government should make sure every school in the district has the funding, staff, and support it needs, and he will not support using federal money to hand vouchers to private schools while public schools are being starved. For families whose children attend public schools, that position decides where federal education dollars end up.

The Choice for Upper Macungie's Public Schools

Bob Brooks is the right choice for Upper Macungie voters who care about public education, because he would keep federal dollars in public classrooms instead of letting them flow to private school vouchers. Register to vote by October 19, 2026, and make a plan to vote for Bob Brooks on November 3.
