Fitzpatrick’s career includes succeeding Mike Fitzpatrick as representative for Pennsylvania’s 1st district in 2017. Born in Philadelphia in 1973 and currently residing in Levittown at age 49, he holds degrees from La Salle University and Pennsylvania State University.
The Restore Trust in Congress Act comes amid ongoing debates over ethical standards for lawmakers regarding financial activities while serving. Fitzpatrick’s collaboration with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez highlights bipartisan efforts to address these concerns.
