LV Congressional Candidate Bob Brooks Allegely Lied on COVID Grant Application

Bob Brooks is the Democratic nominee for the Pa. 07 Congressional seat held by Republican Ryan Mackenzie. He likes to portray himself as an Everyman although he's a bit closer to a con man. Although he's finally paid off his mother-in-law's $130,000 judgment, it now appears that he outright lied when he applied for a COVID grant through Northampton County in 2021.

During COVID, Northampton County was given $30 million in American Recovery Plan federal funds to spend on relief efforts. Then Executive Lamont McClure set up a find for small businesses hurt by the pandemic, enabling them to apply for up to $15,000. 

Brooks, who maintained a lawn care business, applied. The application form made clear that "knowingly making a false statement to obtain a grant" would violate federal criminal law and could result in a five-year sentence as well as a fine of up to $250,000.  

According to The Free Beacon, a conservative news outlet, Brooks lied on his application. To be specific, he denied having any judgments against him despite that $130,000 judgment. In addition, there were another two open judgments from credit card companies at the time he applied for this grant. 

Not only was Brooks awarded a COVID grant, but it was for the full $15,000.

Since the judgment from his mother-in-law was appealed to the Superior Court, it would be hard for him to plead ignorance.

Over 3,500 people have been prosecuted for COVID fraud nationwide. But Brooks thinks he should be elected to Congress



that matter was very much open when he applied for a COVID grant threough Northampton County

    This is really serious. He could end up behind bars. This could change the whole election. Now the question is: who’ll be the first to pull their endorsement?

    Intelligence is quaint amongst Brooks supporters.

    In a recent tv ad, Brooks claims he will bring an end to Congress members making insider stock market trades. Sounds good, but just 2 days ago, his Democrat Party voted NO unanimously against a measure that would do just that!

    So does this make Brooks a good potential member of Congress or just an another good LIAR? I think that liar flaw in Brooks will remain.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
