Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick has expressed support for the recent Supreme Court decision regarding tariffs, stating that it affirms his stance against broad tariffs that are not specifically targeted and do not help lower costs for American consumers. Fitzpatrick noted that the ruling also supports his recent vote to remove tariff authority that does not meet these standards.
“Congressman Fitzpatrick applauds today’s Supreme’s Court decision, which validates the Congressman’s opposition to blanket and indiscriminate tarriffs that are not narrowly tailored, and that do not lower costs for the American consumer. Moreover, this decision validates the Congressman’s vote last week to strike down any tariff authority that does not meet this standard.”
Fitzpatrick addressed ongoing economic concerns facing families, attributing them in part to long-standing partisan actions by both major political parties. He emphasized a commitment to fair trade practices and accountability.
“Families are already stretched thin due to an ongoing affordability crisis that has been caused by hyper-partisan politicians from both political parties for decades. Congressman Fitzpatrick fully supports the enforcement of our trade laws, fixing inequities and injustices, and holding bad actors accountable. This should always be done in a collaborative manner with a bipartisan, bicameral majority in Congress,” said Casey-Lee Waldron, spokeswoman for Fitzpatrick.
He reiterated his position against broad tariffs, emphasizing their impact on household expenses.
“However, the Congressman has always, and will always, oppose any broad tariffs that raise costs on the American consumer. His focus is, and will always remain, on reducing the financial burden on our working families.”
Brian Fitzpatrick has represented Pennsylvania’s 1st district in Congress since 2017 after succeeding Mike Fitzpatrick. He was born in Philadelphia in 1973 and currently resides in Levittown. Fitzpatrick graduated from La Salle University with a bachelor’s degree in 1996 and earned a law degree from Pennsylvania State University at Carlisle in 2001.
