Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) announced that he has been unanimously reelected by his colleagues to serve as Co-Chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus for the 119th Congress. This decisive show of support underscores Fitzpatrick’s proven leadership and unwavering commitment to fostering bipartisan collaboration to deliver tangible results for the American people.
The 52-member Caucus, evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, continues to play an instrumental role in addressing some of the nation’s most pressing challenges. Under Fitzpatrick’s leadership, the Caucus has championed critical legislation, from delivering COVID-19 relief to laying the groundwork for the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
In the 118th Congress, the Caucus endorsed a record 30 bipartisan bills, several of which were signed into law, including:
- Social Security Fairness Act – Expanded Social Security benefits for millions of retired law enforcement officers, educators, postal workers, and other hard-working public servants by repealing the WEP and GPO.
- Fiscal Responsibility Act – Prevented an economic crisis by curbing government spending, strengthening fiscal accountability, and raising the debt ceiling to protect America’s financial future.
- Invest to Protect Act – Strengthened police departments nationwide through targeted investments in officer safety, recruitment, and mental health.
The Caucus also played a decisive role in averting government shutdowns and advancing comprehensive immigration reform through the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act, which proposes a forward-looking approach to securing our borders, streamlining asylum processes, and bolstering the economy.
Fitzpatrick’s reelection as Co-Chair solidifies his role as a unifying force in Congress, championing bipartisan solutions that prioritize people over politics and progress over partisanship.
Reflecting on his reelection, Fitzpatrick stated:
“I am deeply honored by the unanimous trust and confidence of my colleagues to continue serving as Co-Chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus. Together, we have demonstrated that breaking through partisan gridlock is not only possible but essential to delivering real results for the American people. I take immense pride in what we have achieved, proving that bipartisan cooperation is the most effective way to address the complex challenges facing our nation. As we enter the 119th Congress, we will build on this legacy with civility, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to serving our constituents and strengthening our country. Together, we are stronger, and together, we can achieve extraordinary outcomes for our communities and country.”
As Co-Chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus, Congressman Fitzpatrick will continue leading efforts to bridge divides, foster collaboration, and deliver on the issues that matter most to constituents and communities nationwide.
