The release advocates for legislation requiring documentation of Russian religious persecution in Ukraine and authorizing presidential sanctions against perpetrators, framing religious freedom protection as a core U.S. foreign policy objective.
The statement advocates for legislation documenting Russian religious persecution in Ukraine and authorizing presidential sanctions against perpetrators. The bill provides supplemental appropriations for Ukraine support, including military aid, economic assistance, and State Department funding. While the bill does not specifically address religious persecution documentation or sanctions for religious abuses, it funds the State Department and broader Ukraine support mechanisms through which such policies could be implemented. The rep's yes vote on Ukraine security funding is generally consistent with supporting accountability for Russian abuses in Ukraine, though the bill does not directly take up the specific religious freedom enforcement question the statement emphasizes.
The release advocates for legislation requiring documentation of Russian religious persecution in Ukraine and authorizing presidential sanctions against perpetrators, framing religious freedom protection as a core U.S. foreign policy objective.
The statement advocates documenting and sanctioning Russian religious persecution in Ukraine and frames this as accountability for Russia's war, and the Ukraine Support Act includes sanctions on Russian individuals and mechanisms for prosecuting Russian war crimes, so the yes vote is directionally aligned. However, the bill is a broad package covering lend-lease, loans, reconstruction, and NATO commitments, and it does not specifically address religious persecution documentation, so the rep's yes vote may reflect support for provisions the statement did not address.

The statement advocates for legislation documenting Russian religious persecution in Ukraine and authorizing presidential sanctions against perpetrators. The bill provides military assistance to Ukraine and establishes oversight mechanisms for that assistance. Both address U.S. support for Ukraine against Russian aggression, and the rep's yes vote on military aid is directionally consistent with supporting Ukraine. However, the statement focuses on a specific accountability mechanism (religious persecution documentation and targeted sanctions), while the bill addresses military funding and general oversight—different specific policy tools within the shared broad category of Ukraine support.

Fitzpatrick Secures $5 Million for New Edgely Bridge Project in Bristol Township
Position: The release announces $5 million in federal Community Project Funding for planning and engineering of a long-term bridge and transportation solution in Bristol Township, including evaluation of a proposed Haines Road Bridge and potential Randall Avenue Bridge improvements.
Funding advances long-term transportation solution to improve public safety, strengthen emergency access, and ease commercial traffic through residential neighborhoods
Bristol Township, PA — Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) announced he has secured $5 million in federal Community Project Funding to advance planning and engineering for a long-term bridge and transportation solution in Bristol Township. The investment will help address the infrastructure and traffic challenges highlighted by the nearly two-year closure of the Randall Avenue Bridge, which strained local roads, disrupted emergency access, and diverted heavy commercial traffic through residential neighborhoods.
The funding will support the evaluation and development of potential infrastructure improvements to provide safer, more reliable transportation connections for residents, businesses, and emergency responders. Potential approaches include a proposed Haines Road Bridge connecting Haines Road across the railway corridor to North Radcliffe Street, as well as potential improvements to the Randall Avenue Bridge. Fitzpatrick has worked closely with Bristol Township leaders to help restore access to the Randall Avenue Bridge, which reopened in January 2026, while continuing to support efforts to identify a lasting solution to the community's transportation challenges.
"The closure of the Randall Avenue Bridge highlighted just how critical reliable infrastructure is to our residents, businesses, and emergency services. While reopening the bridge was an important accomplishment, our focus has always been on finding a permanent, long-term solution that improves public safety, accommodates commercial traffic, and reduces the impact of heavy vehicles traveling through our residential neighborhoods. Congressman Fitzpatrick has been an invaluable partner throughout this process, from his direct involvement in helping restore access to the Randall Avenue Bridge to securing this significant $5 million federal investment. His continued commitment to Bristol Township is helping us move forward with the planning and engineering necessary to evaluate the proposed Haines Road Bridge and develop a transportation solution that will benefit our community for generations to come. We sincerely appreciate his partnership and continued advocacy on behalf of Bristol Township," said Randee J. Mazur, Township Manager, Bristol Township.
"Reopening the Randall Avenue Bridge was essential, but it was never the finish line. The closure exposed a larger challenge for Bristol Township: strained local roads, heavy commercial traffic moving through residential neighborhoods, and concerns about reliable access for our first responders. From day one, we worked alongside Township leaders to restore access and pursue a permanent solution. This $5 million investment is an important step in bringing us closer to advancing the planning and engineering for a safer, more reliable crossing that will protect our neighborhoods, support local businesses, and strengthen critical transportation connections for generations to come. My sincere thanks to the entire Township Leadership team, Randee Mazur, and the residents of Bristol Township for their continued partnership—I look forward to carrying this momentum forward as we work to build safer, stronger, better-connected Bristol Township." said Fitzpatrick.
Delivering For Pennsylvania's First District

Fitzpatrick Secures $1 Million to Revitalize Downtown Quakertown and Strengthen Critical Infrastructure
Position: The release announces $1 million in federal Community Project Funding for the Quakertown Borough Streetscape Improvement Project to modernize infrastructure and revitalize downtown. It describes the funding as supporting local businesses and economic growth.
Major investment will modernize essential infrastructure, enhance public spaces, and support long-term economic growth in the heart of Quakertown Borough.
Quakertown, PA — Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) announced a major victory for Quakertown Borough, securing $1 million in federal Community Project Funding for a comprehensive revitalization of its downtown district—modernizing critical infrastructure, improving accessibility and public safety, and strengthening the foundation for long-term economic growth and community development.
Building on Quakertown's ongoing downtown revitalization efforts, this investment will help strengthen the heart of the Borough as a center of commerce, connection, and community life. By enhancing public spaces, improving essential infrastructure, and creating a more accessible and welcoming downtown, the project will support local businesses, enhance quality of life for residents, and create new opportunities for the community's continued growth.
"Across Bucks and Montgomery Counties, our Main Streets are the pulse of our communities—supporting local businesses, creating jobs, and giving each of our towns its distinct character. For years, I've worked alongside business owners and community leaders to ensure our historic downtowns are not simply preserved, but positioned to prosper. In Quakertown, Borough leaders, local businesses, and residents have demonstrated tremendous initiative in revitalizing their downtown and laying the groundwork for future growth. Together, we identified the infrastructure improvements needed to build on that momentum, attract new investment, and expand economic opportunity, and I was proud to secure $1 million to help advance those efforts. I'm grateful for their partnership, and look forward to building on this progress together as Quakertown continues to thrive," said Fitzpatrick.
Remarking on the significant of the funding, Doug Propst, Quakertown Borough Director of Finance, stated: "The Borough of Quakertown is extremely grateful to receive this $1 million investment from the federal government. These funds will be used in the Borough's continued efforts to improve the downtown for residents, business, and visitors to Quakertown. We are especially grateful to Congressman Fitzpatrick for his efforts in obtaining this funding and commitment to the continued improvement of the community."

Fitzpatrick Introduces Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act to Block Russian Oil Imports and Defend Ukraine
Position: The release supports legislation to nullify Treasury's General License 135, which authorized transactions involving Russian diesel imports, and to reinforce the 2022 federal prohibition on Russian energy imports. It also supports continued U.S. intelligence support for Ukraine.
Bipartisan legislation would nullify Treasury's Russian oil waiver, reinforce federal law, and safeguard critical intelligence support for Ukraine
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1), Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus and Chair of the House Intelligence Committee's CIA Subcommittee, introduced the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act of 2026, alongside Representatives Don Bacon (NE-2) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-3), to uphold the federal prohibition on Russian energy imports and protect critical U.S. intelligence support for Ukraine.
The legislation follows the Treasury Department's October 9th issuance of General License 135, authorizing transactions involving Russian diesel fuel, including imports into the United States, despite a bipartisan federal law enacted in 2022 prohibiting Russian energy imports. The decision threatens to undermine congressional efforts to cut off the revenue streams sustaining Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine.
"Russia chose this war. Ukraine did not. The United States must leave no doubt about where it stands. We must not import a single drop of Russian oil. Congress made that decision with overwhelming bipartisan support in 2022, and that law remains in force. It is not a suggestion, nor should its intent be undermined through administrative waivers. We cannot demand accountability from Putin while opening American markets to the Russian energy that helps finance his war. Every exception sends Moscow the wrong message: that American resolve can be outlasted," said Fitzpatrick. "President Reagan understood that strength is not the obstacle to peace. It is what makes a just peace possible. Our responsibility is to stand firmly behind Ukraine's sovereignty and ensure America's commitments are reflected in America's actions. Peace becomes possible when aggression carries a cost greater than its reward. On that, there can be no ambiguity."
"For years, President Trump criticized Europe for buying Russian energy and propping up Putin's war economy. Further, Congress overwhelmingly voted to impose tough sanctions on Russia. Now, Trump wants to make it easier for Putin to sell diesel fuel. He is wrong," said Bacon. "Americans overwhelmingly support Ukraine and oppose Putin's aggression and war crimes. The Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act nullifies the Russian diesel waiver, prohibits Treasury spending that violates the 2022 Russian oil import ban and provides intelligence support to Ukraine." Congress must step up and force the President to support freedom and oppose the war criminal. America must stand with the Free World."
"The President's dirty deal to import Russian oil is running roughshod over our national interests and the bipartisan will of Congress and a bipartisan 2022 law explicitly banning the import of Russian oil. We won't turn a blind eye to that," said Gluesenkamp Perez. "This bill will rein in this reckless deal and make clear that my community doesn't want any part of funding Putin's fascist war in Ukraine and the ongoing attacks terrorizing families in the Donbas. If the President is serious about bringing down gas prices, he should end the war in Iran, not send our tax dollars to Putin."
"The Administration's decision to import Russian diesel is illegal, and Congress must move decisively to ensure the law is followed," Daniel Balson, Director of Advocacy and Razom for Ukraine said. "Razom for Ukraine endorses Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick's Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act and applauds the bipartisan effort to block the unlawful and immoral importation of Russian diesel. Only by projecting strength can we force Russia to come to the negotiating table. Weakness and deference will only prolong Putin's war."
"FDD Action applauds the introduction of the bipartisan legislation. The timely Congressional action represents a strategic and moral intervention on behalf of the bipartisan majority of American's who support Ukraine in its fight for freedom. We urge members of Congress to support this crucial legislation and urge the Trump Administration to reconsider its diesel deal with the Kremlin," said Daniel Vaynshteyn, Associate Director of Government Relations, FDD Action.
The Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act would:
As Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus and Chair of the House Intelligence Committee's CIA Subcommittee, Fitzpatrick has been at the forefront of bipartisan efforts to confront Russian aggression, strengthen Ukraine's defenses, and advance an American strategy rooted in peace through strength. His leadership has been informed by firsthand visits to Ukraine, including areas near the front lines, working closely with President Zelenskyy, Ukrainian military leaders, servicemembers, and civilians defending their nation against Russia's brutal and unprovoked invasion.
In Congress, Fitzpatrick has helped lead efforts to provide Ukraine with critical security assistance, expand sanctions against Russia, and hold the Kremlin accountable for its atrocities. His work includes helping advance the Ukraine Support Act through the House, championing the Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act, introducing the Countering Russia's War on Faith Act to address the persecution of religious communities, and leading bipartisan legislation demanding the return of abducted Ukrainian children. Most recently, he helped lead the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 through Congress and into law, establishing sweeping measures targeting the financial institutions, energy revenues, and sanctions-evasion networks sustaining Putin's war.
The Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act builds on that record by reinforcing the existing prohibition on Russian energy imports, closing the door to administrative waivers, and protecting the intelligence support essential to Ukraine's defense. Together, these efforts reflect Fitzpatrick's longstanding commitment to a clear American objective: equip Ukraine to defend its freedom, deny Putin the resources to sustain his aggression, and secure a just and lasting peace that preserves Ukraine's sovereignty and independence.

Fitzpatrick Secures $4 Million for New Bensalem Fire Station to Modernize Emergency Response and Strengthen Public Safety
Position: The release announces $4 million in federal Community Project Funding for construction of a new Bensalem Township fire station and expresses support for modernizing local fire and emergency services infrastructure.
Major federal investment will replace nearly 50-year-old facilities, strengthen coordination between career and volunteer firefighters, and enhance emergency protection across Bensalem Township.
LANGHORNE, PA — Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) announced a major victory securing $4 million in federal Community Project Funding to advance construction of Bensalem Township's new Department of Public Safety Fire Station, a major step toward modernizing emergency response and strengthening public safety across the township.
The project will replace two nearly 50-year-old volunteer fire stations with a modern, centrally located facility uniting career and volunteer firefighters under one roof. Designed to improve response times, expand emergency coverage, and integrate fire, rescue, EMS, and command operations, the new station will give Bensalem's first responders the infrastructure and operational capabilities they need to protect its residents and meet future public safety challenges.
"On behalf of the Bensalem Township Department of Public Safety and the firefighters who serve the community of Bensalem, we would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick for providing necessary funding to assist the Township with the development of a new fire station. The construction of a new firehouse, along with improvements to existing infrastructure, remains a priority for Bensalem Township to ensure the continued delivery of safe, efficient, and reliable fire services to the community," said William McVey, Director of Public Safety for Bensalem Township.
"This historic investment is a major step forward for public safety in Bensalem. The new facility will strengthen our emergency response capabilities, improve coordination between our career and volunteer firefighters, and provide our first responders with the resources and facilities they need to protect our community. We thank Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick for his support and commitment to bringing federal resources back to our community!" said Mark Antozzeski, Fire Chief of Bensalem Township.
"Our first responders are the foundation of public safety, and ensuring they have the resources their mission demands has long been one of my highest priorities as Co-Chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus," said Fitzpatrick. "We are fortunate to have some of the finest right here in PA-1. Through years of working alongside Bensalem's firefighters and public safety leaders, I've witnessed their extraordinary dedication, skill, and selfless service as they've adapted to the evolving needs of our community. Working closely with Mayor DiGirolamo, Director McVey, Chief Antozzeski, township leaders, and the firefighters themselves, we recognized the need for a modern, centralized facility that would strengthen their ability to protect our neighbors. So, I got to work and fought to secure $4 million to bring this vision to life. I'm grateful for their steadfast service and partnership, and look forward to continuing our work together to ensure they have the support, resources, and capabilities they need to continue safely and successfully protecting our community."
Strengthening Emergency Response and First Responder Readiness
The new Department of Public Safety Fire Station will provide a centralized, purpose-built facility designed to meet Bensalem Township's current operational needs while preparing its emergency services for future demands.
Key project improvements include:
Beyond replacing aging infrastructure, the project will establish a more coordinated, efficient, and resilient emergency response system—strengthening the township's long-term preparedness while supporting the safety of both residents and the first responders who serve them.
Delivering For Pennsylvania's First District
The Bensalem fire station is part of Fitzpatrick's broader commitment to strengthening public safety, supporting first responders, and modernizing critical infrastructure throughout Pennsylvania's First Congressional District.
Through the FY2026 Community Project Funding process, Fitzpatrick successfully championed more than $27.5 million for 11 community projects addressing critical local needs across Pennsylvania's First District.
With this latest round of funding, Fitzpatrick has brought more than $80 million in federal Community Project Funding to PA-01 since FY2022, translating priorities identified by local communities into lasting investments in the people, services, and infrastructure that strengthen the region.
Together, these investments reflect Fitzpatrick's community-first leadership, empowering local organizations, responding to community needs, and ensuring federal resources translate into meaningful, measurable, and lasting benefits for Bucks and Montgomery counties.

Fitzpatrick Announces Additional $1.25 Million for United Way’s HELP Center, Building on $4.15 Million Commitment to Bucks County Families
Position: The release announces $1.25 million in federal Community Project Funding for United Way of Bucks County's permanent headquarters and HELP Center, bringing the total federal investment to $4.15 million, and states support for the project's expansion of emergency and stability services.
Levittown, PA – Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) announced a major victory for Pennsylvania's First District, securing an additional $1.25 million in federal Community Project Funding for United Way of Bucks County's new permanent headquarters and HELP Center in Levittown, bringing the total federal investment he has championed for the project to $4.15 million.
Building on the $2.9 million Fitzpatrick previously advanced through the FY24 appropriations process, this latest investment marks another major milestone in a years-long partnership to transform how Bucks County families access essential services, emergency assistance, and opportunities for long-term stability.
Since opening, the new HELP Center has served more than 3,200 unique neighbors, with United Way reporting a 60% increase in neighbors served compared to the previous quarter at its former location.
Remarking on the impact, Marissa Christie, President & CEO of United Way of Bucks County stated: "United Way of Bucks County's new headquarters and HELP Center represents an extraordinary opportunity for Bucks County. Thanks to Congressman Fitzpatrick's leadership and his commitment to this work, we can make it easier for more people to get the help they need, connect families with opportunities for greater financial stability, and build a stronger future for our neighbors. His support helped turn an ambitious vision into a reality that will benefit Bucks County for generations to come."
"I've had the honor of working alongside Marissa Christie and the extraordinary United Way team for many years, and I've seen firsthand the difference their dedication makes in the lives of our neighbors. When Marissa shared her vision for a permanent home that could fundamentally improve how we serve families across Bucks County, I got to work. I made this project a priority and fought for $4.15 million in federal investment to help turn that vision into reality. Today, that vision is making a measurable difference—reaching more neighbors, connecting families with critical resources, and creating new pathways to stability and opportunity. That is the true measure of this investment: not simply the dollars committed, but the lives changed and the opportunities created. I'm grateful for United Way's unwavering commitment to our community, and I look forward to building on our partnership to ensure more families have the support and opportunities they need to thrive," said Fitzpatrick.
A Lasting Investment in Bucks County
The new HELP Center represents a significant expansion of United Way's ability to meet both immediate needs and long-term challenges facing Bucks County families. The permanent facility will:

Fitzpatrick Introduces Bipartisan Measure to Bar Members of Congress from Profiting Off Earmarks
Position: The release supports a bipartisan resolution to strengthen House ethics rules by prohibiting Members of Congress from benefiting financially, directly or indirectly, from earmarks they request. It would require certification that neither the Member, their family, nor entities in which they hold a material financial interest would gain from such funding.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), alongside Representatives Young Kim (CA-40) and Jared Golden (ME-02), introduced the bipartisan Stop Congressional Self-Enrichment Resolution, which would strengthen House ethics rules governing Community Project Funding and prohibit Members of Congress from using taxpayer-funded projects to create direct or indirect financial benefits for themselves, their families, or entities in which they hold a financial interest.
Under Rule XXIII, clause 17 of the House Rules, Members requesting Community Project Funding, commonly known as earmarks, must certify that they and their spouses have no financial interest in the request. Current rules, however, do not explicitly address certain indirect financial benefits—including circumstances in which a federally funded project could increase the value of a nearby business or other asset in which a Member or their family has a financial interest.
The Stop Congressional Self-Enrichment Resolution would close that gap by requiring Members to certify that neither they, their spouse, their immediate family members, nor any entity in which they hold a material financial interest would benefit financially—directly or indirectly—from an earmark they request.
"Public service is a public trust, and there can be no ambiguity about whose interests we are here to serve," said Congressman Fitzpatrick. "Taxpayer dollars should never be used to create a private financial benefit for the people entrusted with spending them. If a Member of Congress requests federal funding, the public deserves confidence that the decision is being made in the public interest—not for the Member's own financial gain. I have spent years working across the aisle to eliminate conflicts of interest and strengthen accountability in Congress. This resolution continues that work by establishing a clearer standard and stronger safeguards around the use of public funds."
"When politicians are busy lining their own pockets, how can they ever understand or focus on the pocketbook issues Americans face every single day? Californians are struggling to afford groceries, gas, healthcare, and housing while paying some of the highest taxes in the nation. The least they deserve is representation focused on making their lives better," said Congresswoman Kim. "I'm proud to lead this commonsense resolution with Congressmen Jared Golden and Brian Fitzpatrick to hold Members of Congress to a stronger standard when bringing federal dollars back home. Members of Congress should be concerned with building a better future for Americans, not filling their own coffers."
"Americans deserve certainty that when a member of Congress secures funding for their district, it's for the good of their constituents—not themselves, their families or any entity in which they have a financial interest," said Congressman Golden. "This resolution will strengthen the anti-corruption guardrails around Community Project Funds to ensure federal dollars are used responsibly. I'm proud to co-sponsor this commonsense change to preserve the integrity of the House."
Fitzpatrick's Continued Work on Congressional Ethics and Accountability
The Stop Congressional Self-Enrichment Resolution builds on Fitzpatrick's previous bipartisan proposals addressing financial conflicts of interest, congressional ethics, and accountability in public office, including:
Together, these proposals center on a consistent standard: decisions made through public office should be separated from private financial interests and subject to clear rules, transparency, and enforceable safeguards.

Fitzpatrick Helps Secure Final Passage of Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act
Position: The release supports final passage of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, which establishes a sanctions framework targeting networks sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine and sets conditions under which Russia-related sanctions could be terminated.
WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1), Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, helped secure final House passage of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, clearing the legislation through Congress and sending it to the President's desk to be signed into law.
Click here to watch his Floor Speech.
Named in honor of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, the legislation represents the culmination of more than a year of bipartisan work to cut off the resources sustaining Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine, hold accountable those enabling his aggression, and strengthen the economic and diplomatic leverage necessary to bring the war to an end.
"Peace becomes possible when aggression carries a cost greater than its reward. For too long, Putin has relied on energy revenues, financial networks, and willing enablers to sustain his war against Ukraine.
This legislation goes directly at those lifelines. It uses America's economic strength to raise the cost of continued aggression, increase the pressure on Moscow, and strengthen the prospects for a just and lasting peace—one that preserves a free and sovereign Ukraine.
With this bill headed to the President's desk, we are making clear to allies and adversaries alike that America will not treat aggression as consequence-free—and that our strength will remain firmly behind the pursuit of a just peace.
That is ultimately what this effort is about: standing against aggression, defending the principle of sovereignty, and using American strength to help create the conditions for peace. Lindsey was an extraordinary partner in that work, and I was honored to build this effort alongside him and help see it through," said Fitzpatrick.
The legislation establishes a comprehensive sanctions framework targeting the political, financial, energy, and commercial networks sustaining Russia's war. Among its provisions, the bill:
The legislation also establishes conditions for permanently terminating Russia-related sanctions. Under the bill, the President may terminate those sanctions after certifying to Congress that Russia has signed a peace agreement accepted by the free and independent Government of Ukraine and has ceased military hostilities and efforts to overthrow, dismantle, or subvert the Ukrainian government. The termination is subject to congressional review.
The Senate previously approved the legislation 86–11 on August 7.
The Administration formally supported passage of the legislation, citing its ability to increase pressure on Russia, strengthen the tools available to pursue a negotiated resolution, and preserve critical sanctions authorities against Iran. The President's advisers have said they would recommend he sign the measure into law.
As Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, Fitzpatrick has helped lead bipartisan efforts to hold Russia accountable and advance a Ukraine policy rooted in peace through strength: sustaining Ukraine's ability to defend itself, increasing pressure on Putin and those enabling his war, and ensuring that any path to peace protects Ukraine's sovereignty and is accepted by the free and independent Government of Ukraine.
Fitzpatrick's work has been informed by his firsthand visits to Ukraine and meetings with Ukrainian leaders, servicemembers, and civilians confronting Russia's aggression. His efforts have included the Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act, the Countering Russia's War on Faith Act, the Ukraine Support Act, and bipartisan initiatives addressing Russia's attacks on civilians and the abduction of Ukrainian children.
The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act carries that strategy forward by targeting the financial and energy networks sustaining Putin's war machine, imposing consequences on those enabling his aggression, and strengthening Ukraine's position in pursuit of a just and lasting peace.

Fitzpatrick-Led Effort to Shield Ratepayers from Data Center Costs Passes House
Position: Supports the Ratepayer Protection Act (H.R. 9340), which would require state public utility commissions to consider standards ensuring large-load data centers cover the incremental costs of the generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure needed to serve them, while preserving state authority over electricity markets.
Bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act Passes 417–3, advancing Fitzpatrick's broader push to make data center growth accountable to families and communities
WASHINGTON, D.C. — After months of pushing for stronger protections around rapidly expanding data center development, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) marked a major bipartisan breakthrough in that effort as the House passed the Ratepayer Protection Act (H.R. 9340) by an overwhelming 417–3 vote.
The legislation, cosponsored by Fitzpatrick, would help ensure that the extraordinary energy infrastructure costs driven by large-scale data center development are borne by the companies creating that demand—not shifted onto families and small businesses through higher utility bills.
The Ratepayer Protection Act would require state public utility commissions to consider standards ensuring large-load data centers cover the incremental costs of the generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure needed to serve them, while preserving states' authority over their electricity markets.
"For months, I've been working with residents, local leaders, and colleagues on both sides of the aisle to put communities back at the center of this conversation," said Fitzpatrick. "Families across Bucks and Montgomery Counties should not be asked to pay higher electric bills to cover the massive infrastructure costs created by some of the largest companies in the world. Today's vote moves us closer to putting that principle into practice. America can lead in innovation without shifting the cost of that growth onto working families, seniors, and small businesses. Growth should strengthen our communities, not come at their expense. Protect our families, respect our communities, and make sure development happens responsibly—that is the standard we are fighting for."
House passage of the Ratepayer Protection Act advances Fitzpatrick's broader bipartisan effort to establish clear rules for responsible data center growth—protecting families and small businesses, preserving local control, and strengthening transparency and accountability.
As development accelerates across Pennsylvania and the country, Fitzpatrick has worked with residents and local leaders across Bucks and Montgomery Counties to address concerns surrounding utility costs, grid reliability, water and energy use, infrastructure, environmental impacts, and quality of life.
That effort is grounded in three principles: local control, state guardrails, and federal accountability. Communities should have a meaningful voice over what is built and where. States should maintain strong consumer and environmental protections. And the federal government should address challenges that cross local boundaries, including grid reliability, energy markets, ratepayer protections, and national transparency standards.
Fitzpatrick is advancing that framework on several fronts. The Ratepayer Protection Act addresses who pays, helping ensure families and small businesses are not forced to subsidize the extraordinary infrastructure demands of large-scale data centers. The bipartisan Data Center Transparency Act (H.R. 6984) would bring greater scrutiny to energy and water use, environmental impacts, and effects on utility systems and household costs. And the Data Center Bill of Rights (H.Res. 1471) would strengthen local authority, expand transparency, and give communities a meaningful voice before major projects move forward.
Fitzpatrick is also pressing developers to meet clear standards on labor, worker safety, environmental protection, resource use, infrastructure demands, and project costs—so communities have the information and protections they need from the outset.
Taken together, these efforts are aimed at ensuring innovation moves forward without asking families and communities to bear the costs or surrender their voice in the process.

Fitzpatrick Takes Edgely Fight to Congress with Bipartisan Community Protection Bill
Position: Introduces bipartisan legislation, the Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act, that would require federal environmental review of major infrastructure projects to clearly disclose how each alternative could affect residential property and homes. The release states the bill is intended to protect Edgely residents in Bristol Township from potential acquisition of homes tied to the Delaware River Turnpike Bridge project.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), joined by Congressman Don Davis (NC-01), introduced the bipartisan Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act, legislation shaped directly by the concerns and experiences of residents in Bristol Township's historic Edgely riverfront community.
The bill would strengthen transparency and accountability in the federal environmental review process when major infrastructure projects could result in the acquisition of homes or other residential property.
For months, Fitzpatrick has led a sustained effort alongside Edgely residents and Bristol Township leaders to protect the community as the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and New Jersey Turnpike Authority plan the future of the Delaware River Turnpike Bridge. After residents raised serious concerns about the potential consequences for their homes, property rights, and neighborhood, Fitzpatrick moved quickly to bring those concerns directly to the agencies responsible, convene with residents and local leaders, assess potential impacts, and press for every feasible alternative capable of avoiding or minimizing harm to the community to be fully examined.
That work exposed a clear gap in federal law. Agencies can weigh multiple alternatives for a major infrastructure project without being specifically required to tell residents, in plain terms, how each option could affect their homes and property.
The Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act would close that gap—turning what Edgely residents uncovered through this fight into a stronger federal standard for transparency, property rights, and community voice nationwide.
"This legislation belongs first and foremost to the people of Edgely. Their willingness to speak up, stay engaged, and fight for the neighborhood they love is what brought us to this moment," said Fitzpatrick. "When residents first came to me, I understood immediately that this was about far more than an infrastructure proposal. It was about whether families could remain in their homes, whether private property rights would be respected, and whether a historic community would have a real say in its own future. So we went to work. We brought Edgely's case directly to the agencies making these decisions, challenged them to consider every viable path forward, and kept pressing for answers wherever the process fell short. In doing so, we found something Congress has the power—and responsibility—to fix: communities facing the potential loss of residential property are not guaranteed a clear comparison of how the alternatives before the government would affect them. This bill changes that. We should never accept a false choice between building the infrastructure our communities need and protecting the communities themselves. We can do both and must do both. I'm grateful to Congressman Don Davis for joining me in this bipartisan effort and helping turn a fight that began in Edgely into meaningful protection for communities nationwide."
"Families and landowners across eastern North Carolina deserve clear information when federal projects could affect their property or livelihoods. The Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act would provide greater transparency around potential property acquisitions and ensure affected communities have an opportunity to be heard before federal agencies move forward. No one should be kept in the dark about decisions that could affect their homes, farms, businesses, and way of life," said Davis.
"Bristol Township Council is grateful to Congressman Fitzpatrick for listening to our residents and taking their concerns directly to Washington," said Bristol Township Council President Craig Bowen. "The families of Edgely deserve to know that every reasonable alternative has been fully considered before decisions are made that could forever change their neighborhood or force residents from their homes. This community has stood together, asked important questions, and made it clear that progress should never come at the expense of transparency or a meaningful public voice. The Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act takes what our residents have experienced here in Bristol Township and turns it into stronger protections for communities across the country. We appreciate Congressman Fitzpatrick's continued partnership and his commitment to making sure the people of Edgely are heard throughout this process."
The Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act would:
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and New Jersey Turnpike Authority, with guidance from the Federal Highway Administration, are evaluating the future of the Delaware River Bridge. Nine replacement alternatives were initially considered before two—the North Partial Impact Alternative and North Staged Alternative—were advanced for further evaluation. In June 2026, the agencies announced the North Partial Impact Alternative as their preferred option while continuing to evaluate the North Staged Alternative.
Reviews found that the preferred alternative could impact multiple residential properties. Under current law, however, agencies are not specifically required to disclose and compare the property-acquisition impacts associated with every alternative analyzed in an Environmental Impact Statement—a gap the Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act is designed to address.
The agencies are expected to publish a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement examining the engineering and transportation needs and the social, economic, cultural, and environmental impacts of the remaining alternatives. Following public comment and completion of the Final SEIS, the Federal Highway Administration will issue the final Record of Decision
The legislation marks the latest step in Fitzpatrick's ongoing work with Edgely residents to protect their homes and property rights, demand transparency and accountability from the agencies involved, and ensure the community has a meaningful voice throughout the process.

House Passes Fitzpatrick-Led Bipartisan Ukraine Support Act
Position: The representatives express support for continued military aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, characterizing U.S. support as essential to Ukrainian sovereignty, American security, and deterrence of aggression.
Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1), Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, along with Representatives Gregory W. Meeks, Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05); Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus; Bill Keating (MA-09), Ranking Member of the Europe Subcommittee; Don Bacon (NE-02); and Kevin Kiley (CA-03) issued the following statement on the passage of the bipartisan Ukraine Support Act, the first comprehensive legislation to support Ukraine and impose sanctions on Russia to pass the House in the 119th Congress.
"Putin is counting on America to grow tired, divided, and distracted. Today, with a historic bipartisan vote, the House sent the opposite message," said Fitzpatrick, Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. "Ukraine is fighting for its sovereignty and survival, but the stakes do not stop at Ukraine's borders. Standing with Ukraine is a matter of American security, allied strength, and moral clarity—and it tells the world that aggression will not be met with hesitation or retreat. From the start of Russia's illegal war of terror, I have worked to ensure America's policy is rooted in peace through strength: equipping Ukraine to win, holding Putin accountable, and ensuring brutality never becomes leverage. This legislation gives force to that principle, and I am grateful to my colleagues in the House who stood with us on the side of freedom. Now, the Senate must do the same."
"Inaction on Ukraine ends now. Today's bipartisan vote to pass the Ukraine Support Act demonstrates that the House stands with the Ukrainian people and that we will hold the criminal Russian regime accountable for its illegal war. I thank my Democratic colleagues and my Republican colleagues who've co-sponsored this bill, without whom this vote would not have been possible. And I especially thank the Ukrainian American community and all those Americans standing with Ukraine, for their tireless efforts to see this bill move forward. Now the Senate must follow suit, and work with our bipartisan group in the House to deliver the most comprehensive package possible to the President's desk for his immediate signature" said Ranking Member Meeks.
"Today's vote was a victory for Ukraine, for the United States, for freedom, and for international law. It was made possible because Democrats and Republicans came together behind an effort that is bigger than partisan politics – it's about whether our nation will hold firm to its ideals and stand up for democracy, and I thank my Republican colleagues who joined us. The people of Ukraine are demonstrating that they have what it takes to win this war and outlast what Vladimir Putin can throw at them. But they cannot do it alone. Europe has stepped up, and America has been a critical partner – but we have not approved a major Ukraine-assistance package since 2024. It's time for the Senate to follow the House and act quickly on this $8 billion in security assistance and broad, sweeping sanctions so Ukrainians can continue to push ahead toward victory," said Hoyer.
"The Ukraine Support Act which the House passed today with Democratic, Republican, and Independent support was a choice between Liberty and Tyranny. Our Free World must stand tall against tyrants, not mollycoddle them. Liberty is not negotiable, It is fundamental," said Kaptur. "The war-torn people of Ukraine are not asking for charity, they're asking for US partnership with that of our closest allies in the European Union. Today we said loud and clear: we stand with Ukraine, we need sanctions on Russia, and we will always stand by our allies. I urge the Senate to take up this legislation with haste and help us reassure our allies around the world of American's unwavering commitment to Liberty loving people everywhere. If we do not, the next strategic reality we will face is defending our interests against an emboldened armed, expansionist Russia at a much, much higher cost."
"The importance of Ukraine's success against Russia's war of aggression cannot be overstated. We should be assisting them because it is the right thing to do, but at the very least, we are obligated to do it in accordance with the Budapest Memorandum. Passage of the Ukraine Support Act would demonstrate the House's continued support for Ukraine and condemnation of Russia. Critically, this bill includes billions in additional military assistance and comprehensive Russia sanctions," said Ranking Member Keating. "I am proud to have co-led the introduction of this legislation and greatly appreciate the strong bipartisan support this bill received from Democratic and Republican members of the House. I urge the Senate to take it up so the United States can continue to support our ally Ukraine in their defense against Russian aggression."
"Tonight, the House faced a Churchill vs. Chamberlain moment. Stand on the side of freedom and democracy, or show weakness to an invading thug who wants to restore Russian domination over a free people. Tonight, we chose Churchill," said Bacon. "In 2024, I visited Ukraine and witnessed firsthand the devastation and cruelty that Russia has inflicted on the Ukrainian people. That trip and the courage of the Ukrainians have bolstered my belief that America must continue to support Ukraine's fight against Russia's brutal invasion, and the bipartisan vote this evening proves that support still exists here in Congress. I strongly urge the Senate to take up and pass this legislation without delay to provide Ukraine the military aid it needs to win and impose tough sanctions that further isolate and punish Putin."
"I provided the decisive signature to force a vote on the Ukraine Support Act because the time for Congress to act is now. Today, in a bipartisan way, we made it clear that the United States will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people and provide the material support necessary for their self-defense. We made it equally clear that Russia will pay a severe price for its unprovoked aggression and ongoing violence. This is the leverage needed for constructive negations to end this conflict. This is what is required for peace," said Kiley.
Today's vote builds on Fitzpatrick's broader work to advance a Ukraine policy rooted in peace through strength: sustaining critical security assistance, increasing pressure on Putin's war machine, and ensuring any path to peace protects Ukraine's sovereignty and is accepted by the free and independent Government of Ukraine.
As Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, Fitzpatrick has helped lead bipartisan efforts to hold Russia accountable and confront the full scope of Putin's aggression, from battlefield brutality to attacks on civilians, religious communities, and abducted Ukrainian children. He has seen the stakes firsthand on the front lines of Ukraine, meeting directly with Ukrainian leaders, servicemembers, and civilians defending their country and their freedom.
His leadership on the Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act, the Countering Russia's War on Faith Act, and the bipartisan discharge petition reflects a clear and consistent principle: America must equip Ukraine to win, impose consequences on Russia, and never allow authoritarian aggression to be rewarded.
