From Bucks County, to the FBI, to the Halls of Congress, Brian Fitzpatrick has built his life and career around one principle: bringing people together to solve problems. Born and raised in the heart of Pennsylvania’s First Congressional District in Levittown, Brian serves the very community that shaped him—delivering results at home while building consensus in Washington.
Ranked the #1 most bipartisan Member of Congress for an unprecedented five consecutive years, and as the elected Chairman of the Bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, the only two-party caucus in Congress, Brian has become the national standard-bearer for unity, trusted on both sides of the aisle to tackle the toughest challenges facing our nation.
Before entering public office, Brian served for 15 years as an FBI Special Agent and Federal Prosecutor. Brian was embedded with U.S. Special Forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and he has led investigations into public corruption, counterterrorism, and counterintelligence threats. Brian graduated first in his class at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, went on to win the FBI Director’s Award, and was named Investigator of the Year for his role as the Lead Case Agent in Operation City Lights, the largest political corruption takedown in New York City history. Brian later served as the National Director for the FBI’s Campaign Finance and Election Crimes Enforcement Program, and as a National Supervisor for the FBI’s Public Corruption Unit at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.. The FBI has deployed Brian on counterterrorism and counterintelligence missions across the globe, to include Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. 
Brian holds both a JD and MBA from Penn State University, becoming the first student in Penn State history to complete this joint degree program. 
In the 119th Congress, Brian sits on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, as well as the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where he serves as Chairman of the Central Intelligence Agency. In his role as CIA Chairman, Congressman Fitzpatrick oversees all CIA covert and clandestine sensitive operations across the globe. Brian has also been designated by House leadership as a Congressional Representative to NATO. 
A licensed attorney, CPA, and EMT, Brian co-chairs nearly 20 caucuses and task forces—including the Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Task Force, the House Cancer Caucus, the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, and the Congressional Ukraine Caucus—leading bipartisan reforms to deliver for Pennsylvania’s First District, hold government accountable, strengthen America’s workforce, grow our local economy, expand access to care, drive critical research, safeguard our seniors and children, and reinforce America’s leadership on the world stage.

Retired U.S. Army Reserve Colonel, businesswoman, and our Commonwealth’s 78th Treasurer, Stacy Garrity has lived a life of service to her nation, her Commonwealth, and her community. In uniform, Stacy rose to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, serving three deployments in defense of our nation: Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom.     
While prisoner abuse scandals raged, it was Stacy Garrity who emerged as a national leader in managing internment camps for enemy combatants. She kept the camp secure and American troops safe without a single complaint of abuse from Iraqi soldiers interned on her watch.  Stacy was twice awarded the Bronze Star and received the Legion of Merit, being hailed as the “Angel of the Desert” for her service. 

At home, Stacy Garrity emerged as a groundbreaking Pennsylvania business leader, rising from accountant at Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. to becoming the first of two female vice presidents at the company.   
Now as our Commonwealth’s Treasurer, Stacy has focused on cutting waste, eliminating taxpayer abuse, and bringing transparency to Pennsylvania’s government. She understands first-hand the challenges hardworking Pennsylvania families face, and she brings the same commonsense that people use to manage their own finances to the Treasurer’s office. Stacy works every day to protect more than $170 billion in state assets, serving as a fiscal watchdog for programs like Pennsylvania’s 529 College & Career Savings Program, where she has saved account holders nearly $17 million.  For her leadership in spearheading the PA ABLE Savings Program for individuals with disabilities, Stacy was elected the inaugural Chair of the national ABLE Savings Plans Network by her fellow State Treasurers. 
Stacy’s work as our Treasurer has directly touched the lives of millions of Pennsylvania families, with more than $1 billion returned to its rightful owners and nearly $10 million returned to Pennsylvania taxpayers through the Treasury’s Money Match program.  Each year, the Treasury saves Pennsylvania taxpayers nearly $50 million by identifying overpayments and duplicate payments to the Commonwealth.

As a veteran, Stacy is also focused on returning the hundreds of military decorations being safeguarded in the Treasury’s vault, returning more than 450 military decorations to the veterans who earned them or their families, including 11 Purple Hearts and 3 Bronze Stars. 
Now Stacy Garrity is running for Governor to continue her service to Pennsylvania as our Commonwealth’s 49th Governor.  She will apply the lessons she’s learned and experiences she’s encountered as a successful businesswoman, soldier, and public servant to make Pennsylvania the Keystone State to grow a business and raise a family. 
For all that Stacy has accomplished, Stacy’s never forgotten where she came from.  A native of Bradford County, Stacy is a graduate of Sayre High School and Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, later receiving a certificate from the Cornell University Business Management Institute.  Stacy serves on the board of Bradford County United Way and is a trustee of Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. Stacy resides in Bradford County with her husband Dan and worships at Christian Life Church.

Mike Murphy didn’t lead an easy life growing up. He and his four siblings suffered from abuse at the hand of their father until he left them when Mike was just 11 years old. That put Mike’s family in tough financial straits, with Mom collecting welfare and food stamps to help the family survive, and Mike and his siblings working jobs to help out once they were old enough. And yet Mike soldiered on, refusing to let the situation dampen his belief that he could be more. Whatever it takes. 

Mike’s first job was at Seafood America in Bensalem. He was just 16 years old. Today, he still keeps in touch with the former owner.  From there, Mike became a truck driver for a sheet metal fabrication company – a job originally made more difficult because he didn’t know how to drive a stick shift.  But he learned and thrived in the job.  Whatever it takes.

Always looking to make a better life for him and his growing young family, Mike then went to technical school and earned an Associates Degree in electronic engineering, fixing the early IBM and Apple computers that drove today’s technological advancements. Of course, as tech changed, so did the need for people who could fix electronics boards and, once again, Mike looked to move on and up.  

Taking a job with 84 Lumber, Mike’s dedication quickly resulted in him being promoted to store management – using his personal skills to help drive sales growth and make his store more successful than ever before. Despite this success and the fact he was now able to enjoy financial independence for his family, Mike wasn’t happy because he was spending too much time away from wife, Marianne, and their two young daughters. So Mike switched careers and went to work for the U.S. Postal Service for the next decade – including as a Union Representative – and  spending time with his wife and two daughters, and even adding two more daughters to the mix!  Once again though, Mike felt the drive to do more and, especially, to give back.  So he made a big decision for a father and husband supporting his family. Whatever it takes.

With the support of his wife, Mike chose to go back to school and pursue a degree in nursing – a field that intrigued him since an early childhood accident sent him to the hospital to save a severely injured finger.  Accepted to the Episcopal School of Nursing, Mike was eventually selected Class President where he led a tough battle to ensure a quality education and faculty for him and his fellow students. Upon earning his degree, Mike chose to become a Critical Care Nurse – the same type of nurse who had helped him so many years ago.
As a Critical Care Nurse, Mike has seen and lived through the very worst… children losing their lives, horrific accidents, and so much more. But he has also seen and lived through the very best… helping families going through personal tragedy bless others with the gift of organ donation, nurses and doctors working beyond exhaustion to treat others, saving a life.  Through everything he encountered, and when things sometimes seemed darkest, Mike went back to the principle that hadn’t taken form in words but was always there: Whatever it takes.

As his nursing career advanced, Mike moved on to work for the Veterans’ Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia. Chosen for his proven leadership skills, Mike has become a deeply trusted member of the medical team there, and volunteered for some of the hardest assignments out there, including being a member of the Disaster Emergency Management Team that gets deployed across the nation when disaster strikes. In 2017, this included being one of the first emergency teams on site in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. There, Mike worked 12 hour shifts for 14 days in a row in incredibly challenging and emotionally taxing conditions to help others.  Whatever it takes.

But while Mike’s professional career was fulfilling one of his dreams – helping others – he faced different challenges at home, as one of his daughters had become ensnared in the grip of drug addiction. He and his family took on this fight as he has every other: Whatever it takes.  That means giving her the support, finding her the treatment, just being there at every hour of every day to help fight the addiction and break a horrific cycle of dependency. 

It was also during this battle that “Whatever it takes” changed from an unknown internal principle to a tattoo. 
When helping his daughter fight addiction, Mike always told her, “Whatever it takes. I am here to help you, whatever it takes.” So she asked for something special. She asked Mike to write “Whatever it takes” in his writing so she could tattoo it on her arm and always know her dad and family are with her.  Of course, that doesn’t explain how it came to be a tattoo on Mike’s arm.  
That happened because Mike himself was not immune from personal challenge either. In 2018, he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He took on that battle – with his wife, children, family and friends beside him – by again following a simple motto: Whatever it takes.  Today, Mike is cancer free.
As Mike battled cancer, he asked his daughter for what she once asked him: “Whatever it takes” in her handwriting so he could get it tattooed on his arm. Today it is there for all to see.

So “Whatever it takes” is who Mike Murphy is, and how he does things when it comes to helping others. But what does that mean if we make him our State Representative?  It means he will always work for results, no matter what.
Working across the aisle with people with different political views? Whatever it takes.

Standing up to special interests? Whatever it takes.

Saying “no” to the politicians and insiders – from either side – when they’re wrong? Whatever it takes.

Listening to everyone in our community to learn their concerns? Whatever it takes.

“Whatever it takes” is, simply, what we want: someone willing to stop the endless political games and just work for what’s right. That’s Mike Murphy.
