“The people closest to the work are often the clearest judges of leadership, which is why the support of SEIU members carries such extraordinary significance,” said Fitzpatrick. “Every day, these men and women answer calls in moments of crisis, protect vulnerable children, care for older neighbors, and make certain the services our families depend on are there when they need them. Their work is indispensable and must never be taken for granted. We have built a real partnership, grounded in mutual respect and strengthened through the fights we have taken on together for fair pay, safe staffing, affordable healthcare, collective bargaining rights, and stronger public services. I am honored by their trust, and will always fight for them, stand beside them, and ensure the people our community depends on can depend on us in return.”
SEIU’s endorsement delivers “a consequential verdict” from the employees “who know Bucks County government from the inside — and further strengthens Fitzpatrick’s historic labor coalition,” which now includes the AFL-CIO and more than 40 labor organizations,” the Fitzpatrick campaign said. “Their support reflects years of genuine partnership, trust, and Fitzpatrick’s consistent record of working across party lines to protect workers, strengthen essential services, and deliver for working families across PA-01.”
