“I got into this for the people I’ve worked alongside my whole life,” says Brooks, “There are not enough working-class people in Congress.”
Brooks joined the Bethlehem Fire Department in 2005 and spent more than 20 years serving his Eastern Pennsylvania community. He became deeply involved in IAFF Local 735 early on in his career, having held the positions of roster duty chairman, trustee, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and ultimately, president.
“I’ve spent decades running into burning buildings and sitting across the table from management fighting for fair contracts. I know what it’s like to have your safety on the line, to work a few jobs to cover the bills, and to have someone try to tell you your work isn’t worth what you know it is,” said Brooks.
“Washington needs more leaders like Brother Brooks, and the IAFF is proud to support his campaign.”
IAFF General President Ed Kelly
Brooks is running on a platform centered on lowering costs for families, ensuring access to universal healthcare, and prioritizing the needs of workers.
In addition to the IAFF’s support, Brooks is entering the primary with endorsements from Pennsylvania Lt. Governor Austin Davis, longtime Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Pennsylvania Congressman Chris Deluzio, SEIU’s Pennsylvania State Council, and other leaders from across the Commonwealth.
