LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. – With the midterms right around the corner, candidates in Lehigh Valley are making their last appearances before Election Day.<\/p>\n
Bob Brooks held a rally in Lehigh County, joined by Gov. Josh Shapiro, on Saturday. Brooks is running to replace incumbent Representative Ryan Mackenzie.<\/p>\n
Brooks spoke about what he aims to do if he wins the election.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy guys look at democrats too often, and they see fancy lawyers and elites,\u201d Brooks said. \u201cThey see New York and San Fansisco, but they don’t see the Lehigh Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to reclaim the mantle as the party of the working class, and I’m on a mission to do just that for this community,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Rep. Ryan Mackenzie spoke to voters in Carbon County on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Mackenzie was joined on stage by a number of other speakers, as well as Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.<\/p>\n
Mackenzie reflected on the work he’s done during his first term on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n
“So when we got to Washington, we got right to work,\u201d Mackenzie said. \u201cWe passed the Laken Reilly Act. We secured the Southern border. We passed historic tax relief for every single American.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we stopped that radical woke agenda in its tracks,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
