Brian Fitzpatrick Campaign Releases First General Election TV Ad

Brian Fitzpatrick, the Republican running for congress, has released his first general election season TV ad this week.

The 30-second spot rolled out on TV this week as part of the campaign’s “six-figure TV buy,” according to campaign spokesman Aaron Clark.

The commercial was filmed outside Fitzpatrick’s parents home in the Levittown section of Middletown. It’s the home where Fitzpatrick and his congressman brother grew up with five siblings.

Fitzpatrick, a retired FBI agent, said his parents taught him the “importance of family and watching out for the neighborhood.”  He added that it’s a lesson he will be taking to congress if he is elected.

“Brian Fitzpatrick is a political outsider, not a career politician more interested in putting politics before people. Brian is running for Congress because he wants to take the lessons he learned growing up in Bucks County to Washington, D.C. and work to provide security and opportunity for all,” Clark said.

Clark’s comments take a shot at efforts by the campaign of Democratic congressional candidate Steve Santarsiero, a state representative from Lower Makefield, to make the case that Fitzpatrick was an outsider due to time he lived outside of the Eight Congressional District while serving with the FBI.

Santasiero last week unveiled a television commercial. At the time, his campaign also said the ad buy was a “six-figure range.”
