Is Robert Brooks Running as a Democrat in Pa.-7 Congressional Race?

 

Robert Brooks is a former Bethlehem firefighter who now leads the Pa. Professional Firefighters Ass'n. He has publicly supported Lamont McClure in the Pa.-7 Congressional race and has even sent text messages calling him a "strong Democrat with a proven track record of putting out fires and a long history of standing up to corruption." But increasingly, I am receiving reports that Brooks is telling others that he now intends to seek the Democratic nomination himself. He was supposed to announce a few weeks ago, but nothing has happened and there is no statement of candidacy on the FEC website.

If he does run, it should be as a Republican, Libertarian or anarchist. In 2019, he posted the Clint Eastwood meme you see above, which also included a skull with a Roman numeral III. This signifies the three percenters, a militia movement that advocates resistance to perceived government abuses.
