| Description | Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick is an active target of Democrats in 2024, but now he’s drawn a primary challenge from the right.
First-time candidate Mark Houck is an anti-abortion activist who filed paperwork to run in Pennsylvania’s 1st congressional district on Thursday. Houck was recently acquitted of criminal charges after an altercation with an abortion clinic escort outside of a healthcare clinic, and told a local radio host last week that he doesn’t support abortion access or exceptions for rape and incest.
Fitzpatrick is a moderate in the Republican delegation and the district doesn’t have a record of supporting “hardcore pro-lifers,” veteran Republican consultant Christopher Nicholas told POLITICO. |
