Why is Bob Brooks running for Congress?

Bob Brooks is running because he believes Washington is failing working families — and because he has spent his whole life fighting for people like them. He argues that Democrats have gotten the label of the party of elites and stopped talking to the working class, and that the Lehigh Valley needs a representative who has actually lived the struggles families face, not just read about them. He is running to lower healthcare costs, raise wages, make housing affordable, and get big money out of politics — the same fights he has been waging for his union members for years. As he has said: "Folks like us deserve someone in Washington who's lived it, not just talked about it."
