Outspent, underestimated, written off, and victorious. Proud to be part of the team that is sending @Ryan_Mackenzie to Congress. Great working alongside @Andres__Weller & @sarabarann

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

While I’ve been fighting fraud in Washington, Bob Brooks has been committing it here at home.

Since taking office last year, I’ve led the charge to crack down on congressional stock trading, halt payments to fraudulent providers, and deliver commonsense government reform. At the same time, Bob Brooks has been stealing from his family, falsifying documents, and scamming his own workers.

Congress doesn’t need another con man.

Thank you to @davidwebbshow for having us on.

🚨 Fraudster Bob Brooks in BIG Trouble 🚨

A Northampton County judge just rejected Bob Brooks' attempts to dismiss the fraud lawsuit against him. Brooks is being sued by his former mother-in-law for hiding assets and defrauding her of over $162,000.

This isn't the only time we've seen Brooks run up against the law: he also illegally withheld insurance from his workers, an offense punishable by a $2,500 fine and one year in prison for every single day of lapsed coverage.

If his employees can't trust him, and not even his own mother-in-law can trust him, why in the world would the working families of the Lehigh Valley trust him in Congress?

What kind of person tries to defraud their family TWICE?
The answer: Bob Brooks

This fraudster stole from his in-laws, refused to pay it back (even after being ordered to by the courts), and then doubled-down on the fraud with what a lawyer for the plaintiffs calls an “outrageous” and “malicious” act of “subterfuge.”

Congress doesn’t need another conman.

Welp, I think voters in PA-7 need to know: @VoteBobBrooks list of scandals is officially too many characters for one tweet.

Today, more news comes out about how he took over $100,000 from his own family, and still won’t pay them back. We deserve better

If Bob Brooks will steal from his own family, what will he do to you?

Bob Brooks is a proven conman and fraudster — stealing from his family, scamming his employees, trashing first responders, lying on his finance reports, and more. Washington doesn’t need another scam artist.

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

Bob Brooks’ entire career has been one big cash-grab.

While Bob sells himself as a champion for workers, he illegally skipped out on providing workers’ compensation coverage for his own employees and raided the pockets of the union workers he was supposed to represent. Bob’s campaign is just his latest con job — this time targeting the people of the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos.

[Andres Weller @Andres__Weller]

Bob Brooks called volunteer firefighters “sh*tbags” and “scabs,” raised union dues while taking a raise and cutting members’ benefits, and stole more than $100,000 from his own family.

Yea…The people of the Lehigh Valley aren’t buying this fraud

Just the latest Bob Brooks scandal…

Bob had his wife donate the maximum allowed to his campaign twice during the Primary, but they used her maiden name the one time and her married name the next, circumventing campaign finance limits.

From the article:

"A review of Brooks' FEC filings shows a pair of suspicious donations. Last year, Brooks' campaign received a $3,500 primary individual donation from a 'Jennifer Crook' and another $3,500 primary individual donation from 'Jennifer Brooks,' with both contributions coming from the same address…

The maximum amount individuals can donate for an election cycle is $7,000; $3,500 for the primary election and an additional $3,500 for the general election. Both of these donations were made for the primary election, a violation of campaign finance laws.

Jennifer Brooks is Bob Brooks' wife, and her maiden name is Crook. On July 13, Politico reported that the Brooks campaign confirmed the donations were made by Jennifer Brooks...

These questionable campaign donations are not a one-off incident.

Brooks is currently involved in ongoing litigation that alleges he transferred property to his current wife to avoid having to pay his former in-laws a $130,000 debt. According to the Lehigh Valley Ramblings, a lawsuit was filed on February 17 alleging that Brooks and his current wife engaged in a 'fraudulent conveyance' to avoid a judgment owed to Brooks' former mother-in-law. In 2008, Brooks' former in-laws transferred residential property to Brooks and his first wife, including fronting the cost of subdividing the property for $55,000. Brooks and his first wife reportedly signed a promissory note for what they owed on the property but never paid. He was sued, and a judgment for $130,000 was entered against him in 2020. Brooks filed an appeal and lost in a unanimous Pennsylvania Superior Court ruling. In 2022, a judgment for $130,000 was filed against Brooks.

Brooks and his first wife divorced in 2018. Here's where things get even shadier. Brooks' first wife is named Jennifer Lynne Brooks and his current wife is named Jennifer Lynn Brooks (nee Crook). The current lawsuit against Brooks alleges he sought to obscure the identity of his second wife by using a quitclaim deed and the similar names to avoid paying the $130,000 judgment. The current lawsuit, in which the plaintiff says the signature on the original promissory note, signed by Brooks' first wife, is substantially different from the signature on the quitclaim deed. The lawsuit seeks $160,000 from Brooks and his current wife as well as punitive damages for 'outrageous and malicious subterfuge that shock the conscience.'"

Bob claims to have spent ‘his entire life fighting for working families,’ but apparently that doesn’t include his own workers. While Deadbeat Bob paints himself as a champion of working people, he's actually a scumbag boss who illegally skips out on workers’ comp coverage.

Bob’s entire story is one big con job, brought to you by the same carnival barkers who served up Graham Platner. Bob Brooks has stolen from his family, scammed his employees, lied on public misclosures, sold out his union, denigrated first responders, and misrepresented his finances. Now, this career fraudster is peddling his snake oil to the voters of the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos. Our communities will kick this deceitful dumpster fire of a candidate to the curb.

[PA GOP @PAGOP]

Bob Brooks has made his lawn care company a centerpiece of his campaign for Congress.

Too bad he didn't have workers' compensation insurance for over four years.

PA law states that workers' comp is "mandatory for all employers who have one or more employees." If they don't comply, they face a $2,500 fine and up to one year in prison for each day the employer doesn't have coverage. But apparently, Bob Brooks thinks he is above the law.

Well, by our account, Brooks didn't have a policy for 1,489 days. That's either 1,489 years in jail or a $3,722,500 fine.

Your call, Bob! 🤔

When did you become aware that @VoteBobBrooks defrauded his in-laws, called volunteer firefighters "scabs" and "shitbags," illegally skipped out on workers comp coverage, and only pretended to be working class while owning as much as $3.9 million in stocks?

[Morris Katz @katz_morris]

As soon as the team became aware of the rape allegations against Graham Platner we advised he suspend his candidacy, and in the following days worked to wind down the campaign.

Like so many of his supporters, I’m deeply disappointed.

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

I stand with our volunteer firefighters 100%. Bob “Crooksy” Brooks calls them sh**bags. What a jerk.

P.S. Follow the court order and pay back your in-laws the $100,000+ you stole from them.

Bob Brooks attacked No Tax on Overtime when Ryan Mackenzie supports it.

Now he’s pretending to support it.

The only thing @VoteBobBrooks is consistent on is saying whatever is politically convenient.

https://t.co/F4fO9RidYv

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

Bob Brooks' latest flip-flop proves once again that he's a conman no one can trust.

Instead of standing with the over 29 million Americans who saw record refunds from tax relief on overtime, Bob Brooks supported repealing these tax cuts and advocating for massive tax increases on everyone.

Now he is now trying to trick voters by changing his unpopular position and hoping no one will notice.

[Reilly Richardson @Reilly_R23]

Bernie Bro @VoteBobBrooks called no taxes on overtime "garbage" and disparaged a Marine veteran, police officer, and volunteer firefighter who joined @POTUS on stage.

The kicker? Brooks' union heavily backs the provision.

Brooks doesn't give a shit about Pennsylvania workers.

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

Correction: The Democratic establishment had to bail you out with $2 million of dark money just to get you through a Primary. Apparently they weren’t convinced the guy who stole over $100,000 from his in-laws could win on his own.

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

The D.C. establishment hand-picked a proven conman and fraudster @BobBrooks during the Democratic primary. Now they’re doing a “unity event” in the hopes that everyone will just forget about when his opponents were rightly calling him out for his atrocious behavior.

Still waiting on you to fix that falsified financial disclosure by the way.

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

Hey Bob, you need to look in a mirror...

Accountability: Why haven’t you been able to answer YES or NO to the question: did you commit mortgage fraud?

Healthcare: Did you ever commit fraud over money intended for people in a healthcare crisis situation?

Workers: Did you ever commit fraud related to your business?

I’ll wait…

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

The Democrat political machine in Washington D.C. has nominated con man and fraudster Bob Brooks to be their puppet here in the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos. Here’s the real Bob Brooks:

💰 Stole tens of thousands of dollars from his own family
🤝 Admits to being hand-picked by party bosses in “back rooms”
🧐 Registered lobbyist
🤑 Millionaire and stock trader who calls himself “working-class”
👑 Sold out his union to party bosses

Bob Brooks won’t fix Washington — he’ll fit right in.

[Ryan Mackenzie @Ryan_Mackenzie]

Two years ago, the people of the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos sent me to Washington with the mission of ending business as usual and delivering results for our community. Since then, we have worked every day to do just that — working with both sides to crack down on congressional stock trading, support working families, and bring over $160 million home to our region. In the months ahead, we’ll be taking that message of bipartisan results to every corner of the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos, and stacking it up against our opponents’ commitment to obstruction and gridlock.
