*
Bucks County families are watching and reading wall-to-wall coverage of Bucks County Commissioner Bob Harvie's rally with Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Governor Josh Shapiro as momentum continues to build behind his campaign to oust Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick.
Speaking from a packed rally at Charles Boehm Middle School, Harvie madeit crystal clear that he's running to put Pennsylvania families first: "This seat doesn't belong to Brian Fitzpatrick. This seat doesn't belong to the Republican Party. This seat doesn't belong to me. This seat belongs to you."
Read and watch the highlights for yourself:
ANCHOR: Shapiro was also on hand for a campaign rally in Yardley on Saturday evening held on behalf of Bucks County Commissioner Bob Harvie... House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries also delivered remarks. House Democrats are rallying support in highly contested swing districts in hopes of flipping seats in the November midterm elections.
GOVERNOR SHAPIRO: I want a member of Congress like Bob Harvie who's going to fight to cut costs in Pennsylvania. I want a member of Congress who's going to stand up for our fundamental freedoms every single day. And I want a member of Congress, where after he takes the oath of office, his first vote is to make Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker of the House of Representatives in Washington. Bob Harvie is going to do that, ladies and gentlemen. We need Bob Harvie in Congress.
JEFFRIES: We're going to win the day, win the week, win the month, win the year, win the hearts and minds of the American people. And then on November 3rd, win back control of the House of Representatives.
READ:
...with just over three weeks to go until Election Day and public opinion continuing to sour on Donald Trump's presidency, Democrats smell blood in the water [...]
Jeffries' decision to campaign alongside Harvie in the final stretch underscores Democrats' growing bullishness heading into next month's midterms, when they aim to retake control of the House of Representatives and usher in a 2018-style "blue wave." [...]
Democratic operatives in the state insist Harvie is within striking distance of flipping the district, which spans all of Bucks County and a sliver of Montgomery County in the affluent Philadelphia suburbs.
A new internal poll conducted last week by Democratic pollsters Global Strategy Group found Harvie and Fitzpatrick tied, 46%-46%, among likely voters, with 8% still undecided.
The stakes were clear for Democrats at a Lower Makefield campaign rally Saturday, where Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries urged Bucks County party faithful to get voters to the polls for U.S. House candidate Bob Harvie... "We can pretty much win back the House in this state," Jeffries said. [...]
Michelle Rumford, 57, a teacher from Levittown, came out with her mother, in part, to hear Harvie's plans about costs. "Gas prices. Grocery prices. All prices have gone up," she said [...]
Harvie asked the crowd if their lives were better since Fitzpatrick got elected, "and when Donald Trump came down his gold escalator."
Bob Harvie is the strongest Democratic challenger Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) has faced in a decade [...]
"We're going to win," Bob Harvie, a former high school history teacher and current member of the Bucks County Board of Commissioners, told HuffPost on Thursday before a town hall. "What we're hearing from people is they're just tired of what's happening in Washington. And Brian Fitzpatrick's been there 10 years." [...]
Jen Magyar, 45, is a bartender and restaurant manager who lives in Furlong... She said she's not impressed by Fitzpatrick breaking with his party on some votes [...]
"He votes along party lines as a Republican," Magyar said, "and then when the vote doesn't really matter, he'll vote so he can say that he's an independent."
"I am going to fight against the corruption that's in Washington. We need to overturn Citizens United. We need to ban partisan gerrymandering in this country. We need to ban members of Congress - and the executive, and the judiciary - from trading stocks when they sit in those seats. We need to return this government to who it's supposed to belong to, which is you," said Harvie.
"When I say I'm running for this seat, I think that offends Brian Fitzpatrick. It offends the Republicans because they think of it as his seat. They think it's their seat. It is not their seat. This seat doesn't belong to Brian Fitzpatrick. This seat doesn't belong to the Republican Party. This seat doesn't belong to me. This seat belongs to you." [...]
"I've spent 8 years working alongside Brian Fitzpatrick in Congress. He is no moderate," said Dean. "He is complicit in the grotesque chaos, corruption, and cruelty of this administration. It is time."
During the rally in Bucks County, a perennial swing county that supported Mr. Trump by a razor-thin margin in 2024 after years of narrow Democratic victories, Harvie said: "It is not an accident that Hakeem Jeffries is here tonight."
"He knows what we're going to do with this district. He knows the potential," he said.

NEW: David Flippo's Largest Asset Resembles "A Scam," Other Asset May Not Exist, And Listed Campaign Donor Says They Never Donated
*
New reporting by Mother Jones alleges that the draft financial disclosure David Flippo provided to the press is full of inconsistencies and questionable assets.
One company listed in the document promotes investment returns that are "likely a scam" and is co-founded by an alleged conman, while another doesn't seem to exist at all per corporate registrations.
Flippoeven failed to sign the documents he gave to the press - perhaps because doing so while reporting false information would be "under penalty of potential civil and criminal sanction." Flippo has still failed to provide an official financial disclosure report to the House of Representatives.
Mother Jones also found further evidence of a potential "straw donor" scheme, "one of the most serious violations in campaign finance law, and one that can potentially result in criminal penalties." One of Flippo's supposed major donors told Mother Jones they've never donated to his campaign.
READ THE BOMBSHELL REPORTING FOR YOURSELF...
Mother Jones: David Flippo Has Close Ties to Accused Fraudster Whose Company Spent Lavishly on His Behalf
* [Arizona Land Reserve] was listed as an asset on a hastily drafted and long overdue financial disclosure for Nevada Republican David Flippo.
* The company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to market $20 million in securities, and its promotion of consistent double-digit investment returns resembles the SEC's depiction of investments that are "likely a scam."
* McDowell, its co-founder, has a record of corporate bankruptcies, business failures, and bad debts. Court records show he has been accused of fraud on multiple occasions. In one case, he and his business partners were accused of operating a "pyramid promotional scheme."
* The retired career Air Force lieutenant colonel does not appear to have the financial means to bankroll his political operation.
* [Flippo] was fired from a previous job because he allegedly "violated numerous company policies and regulatory regulations related to electronic communications, books and records."
* Mark Amodei, who is retiring from the seat Flippo hopes to win, called him a "fraud."
* Fischer added that "there are serious questions about the valuation of some of his biggest assets, and the other numbers really don't add up to somebody who has $1.6 million in extra cash to put into a congressional run."
* Flippo listed two other major assets on his disclosure, both valued at between $1 and $5 million, comprising much of his net worth. One is called America First Home Mortgage. The other Flippo reported as "AZ Land Reserve PPM Meadview AZ." According to the form, neither of these investments produced any income.
* But a nationwide search of corporate registrations shows no record of an active company in the United States called America First Home Mortgage. The CEO of a similarly named Las Vegas company, America First Mortgage, told me his company has no affiliation with Flippo. He also knows of no business that goes by that name.
* One person listed in FEC records as a major donor to Flippo's campaigns told me they had not donated anything to Flippo, let alone the thousands of dollars attributed to them. Fischer said that "suggests very serious campaign finance violations."
* "Making a donation in the name of another person is a clear violation of the law," he explained. "It's a violation of the straw donor ban, which is one of the most serious violations in campaign finance law, and one that can potentially result in criminal penalties."
* "All successfully filed records are posted on the Clerk's website," Ben Kelley, a spokesperson for the House Clerk's office, said. No records for Flippo have been posted on that website.
* Among the oddities in the Flippo disclosure document provided to the media, Fischer noted, was that a few pages were missing. That includes the page where the candidate must sign the document, under penalty of potential civil and criminal sanctions, and attest that its contents are "true, complete, and correct."

POLITICO reports
:
With just over three weeks to go until Election Day and publicopinion continuing to sour on Donald Trump's presidency, Democrats smell blood in the water.
Their optimism that Fitzpatrick's Democratic opponent, Bucks County commissioner Bob Harvie, can defeat the five-term incumbent was on display on Saturday afternoon, as Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries and Pennsylvania's Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro hit the campaign trail in the leafy Philadelphia suburbs to drum up support for Harvie [...]
In recent days, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has committed to spending $900,000 in its bid to unseat Fitzpatrick. House Majority PAC, the House Democrats' main super PAC, has spent more than $6 million to reserve television advertisements in the race, according to the latest AdImpact data [...]
In a memo first seen by POLITICO, the pollsters argued undecided swing voters would be more likely to break for Harvie in the final weeks of campaigning, noting 60% of undecideds said they would prefer Democrats take back control of Congress.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
"This race is breaking in Bob Harvie's direction at the perfect time and the momentum to beat Brian Fitzpatrick is only growing stronger by the day. Bucks and Montgomery County voters are seeing that a decade in Washington has changed Fitzpatrick, and it's time to send someone different who will fight the corruption that is costing Pennsylvanians."

Monica De La Cruz Celebrates Endorsement From Cop Fired for Alleged Sexual Harassment and Stalking
*
Monica De La Cruz's latest campaign ad is touting her law enforcement ties. The only problem? Her endorsement is coming from a cop fired for sexual harassment against two women.
According to the New York Post, De La Cruz's endorser was "fired from his prior job last year for alleged sexual harassment and stalking of a co-worker." That alleged harassment included studying her cellphonelocation, calling her 20 times in two days, parking outside her residence in a marked patrol unit for over an hour, and waiting outside her home while uniformed.
A female supervisor also accused him of inviting her inside his apartment and "encourag[ing] her to get closer and sniff his cologne." A Wilson County report "concluded that he committed sexual harassment" against both women.
REMINDER: This isn't the first time De La Cruz has buddied up with harassers -- or gotten into legal trouble herself. De La Cruz refused three times to release the Epstein files and instead prioritized protecting pedophiles. She was also hit with a restraining order after she was accused of "cruel and aggressive treatment" toward her stepdaughter..

New York Post: Texas rep ran ad starring cop fired for alleged sexual harassment and stalking
* A recent ad by Rep. Monica De La Cruz spotlighted an endorsement from a cop who was reportedly fired from his prior job last year for alleged sexual harassment and stalking of a co-worker, The Post has learned.
* Photos, work history, and other evidence reviewed by The Post indicate that the cop, Deputy Zachary Garcia, was fired from the Wilson County Sheriff's Office last year due to accusations that he harassed a female dispatcher who cut things off with him.
* While the two were in a relationship, Garcia had allegedly studied the cellphone location she shared with him, would ride past her home while on duty, and would call her repeatedly until she had to shut her phone off, according to records obtained by the Hawk's Eye in August.
* The female dispatcher ended the relationship on Aug. 30, 2025, and Garcia allegedly made some 20 calls to her over a two-day period, according to the report. GPS data revealed a marked patrol unit waited outside her home for over an hour on Aug. 31, 2025. There weren't any known calls in the area.
* Garcia later copped to making the repeated calls, including ones in which he blocked his caller ID, and to waiting outside her residence while in uniform.
* An internal investigation also uncovered accusations from a female supervisor who alleged that after assisting him with groceries, he welcomed her inside his apartment. From there, he encouraged her to get closer and sniff his cologne, according to the report. Garcia later denied that accusation.
* Wilson County concluded that he committed sexual harassment against both the dispatcher and the supervisor, according to the report. During his time working at Wilson County, Garcia also served as a deputy sheriff at Goliad, where he works now.
* The De La Cruz campaign has also grumbled over a recent ad from [Bobby] Pulido that mentions her ex-husband, Juan Gabriel Hernandez, who was charged in 2022 with assault of a peace officer or judge, and impeding breath or circulation.
* Hernandez ultimately pleaded guilty to the assault charge and was hit with five years of community supervision. Pulido's attack ad cited Hernandez's accusations against De La Cruz and claimed she had "a restraining order filed against her for child abuse."

"From industry and technology to art and public service, Native and Indigenous trailblazers have contributed to and enhancedthe character of our nation. Today, they continue to shape our future, and their leadership strengthens our democracy -- which is always stronger when every voice is heard.
"Remembering our shared history must be comprehensive and we can never forget the injustice, violence, and displacement against Native communities and tribal nations. It sits heavy in our history books and upon our collective conscience.
"Far too many communities are struggling after Republicans attacked rural hospitals and made devastating cuts to tribal programs. House Democrats are fighting to restore these cuts and lower costs to build an economy that works for everyone, and we will always support Tribal Nations' right to self governance. This month, we celebrate the resilience, culture, and contributions of Indigenous peoples and commit to preserve their heritage."

3 days, 3 Ways Nevada Republicans are Rubber Stamps For Trump's Cost-Raising Agenda (Iran War Edition)
*
With Donald Trump's visit to the state to gaslight Nevada families just around the corner, NV Dems is launching a new series to highlight a few of the many ways Nevada Republicans running for Congress will be rubber stamps for Trump's cost-raising agenda in Washington.
On day one, we're calling out Republicans for supporting Trump's endless war with Iran that continues to jack up gas prices.
FromMarty O'Donnell saying he would support Trump's war "in a heartbeat" to Carrie Buck saying the Iran war is worth it despite the gas prices to David Flippo hopping on Fox News to defend the war, it's clear Nevada Republicans running for Congress will never stand up for Nevada families and will always put Trump's cost-raising agenda first.
When Republicans say they support Trump's endless war in Iran, this is what it means for Nevada families:
* Gas prices have reached $5 a gallon while diesel prices are nearing $7 a gallon -- an all time high.
* Higher fuel costs mean more expensive groceries with Nevada having the top five most expensive grocery prices in the country.
* With higher fuel prices leading to more expensive flights, the Trump Slump continues as September became the 19th straight month of declining visitors landing at Las Vegas Harry Reid Airport.

Less than 25 days out from the midterm elections, Democrats are seeing a surge of momentum as voters take to the polls in New Jersey and Virginia.
New reporting on MS NOW and Meidas Touch spotlights how early turnout shows signs of strength for Democrats in both key states, with key flip opportunities in districts including NJ-07, VA-01, VA-02, and VA-05.
Read and watch more about clear signs of voter enthusiasmin New Jersey and Virginia:
Scott MacFarlane: In New Jersey and Virginia, it wasn't just that Democrats won in 2025. They won in a blowout. These were 14-15 point wins in states that had nail biters four years earlier in their gubernatorial races. So there's something here Democrats think could form as an early indication of a blue wave [...]
21 points. That's the swing both those governors saw in Hispanic turnout and Hispanic support in key districts in their states. Hudson County, New Jersey, Manassas, Virginia. They think that's an indication the Hispanic vote is turning heavily towards Democrats in those states, which they think is an indication of the broader political playing field [...]
Here's the bottom line. You've got four seats Democrats are trying to flip in those two states combined. Four they think they've got a good shot at. One in New Jersey, the Seventh District. In Virginia, it's the First, Second, and Fifth. They have moderate nominees in all four of those districts giving themselves a fighting chance there [...]
Abigail Spanberger tells me at this point in time in 2022, there were 200,000 people who turned out to vote. Now, as of this year, 450,000 have turned out to vote already. That is more than double at this point in the calendar... Something is going on in Virginia that represents the broader United States potential blue wave.
