Combat Veteran, Apache helicopter pilot, and Democratic candidate for Congress running against anti-choice Republican Brian Fitzpatrick to flip PA-01 blue.
I’m Ashley Ehasz and I’m running for Congress again in Pennsylvania’s 1st District to defend our democracy, restore reproductive rights, tackle corporate greed, advocate for bold gun safety measures & fight for working families like mine.
Join me >>
I flew Apaches over Baghdad, ready to die for our country.
In the wake of the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, I will not standby while Americans’ right to have an abortion is ripped away.
So for the love of God, vote this November.

“I did not see combat overseas to come back home, have my reproductive rights taken away, and be made a 2nd class citizen for the country I risked my life to protect. I have one thing to say my opponent Brian Fitzpatrick-I’m coming for your seat, and I will win.”
#BansOffOurBody
I’m Ashley Ehasz. I’m a Democratic U.S. Army veteran running for Congress in PA-01 to replace Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and give Bucks and Montgomery Counties a leader with courage and compassion to make real change.
Pitch in to join me!
It was an honor to welcome my friend,
@JohnFetterman
to Bucks today - I am proud to have his endorsement and to stand with him for the working families of this district.
Together, we are going to fight like hell in Washington!
Today President Biden signed an order moving the handling of sexual assault cases out of the military chain of command. As a former commander myself, this is a long overdue step - and I share my thoughts, as well as my own experience as a military sexual assault survivor, here.
BREAKING: A new poll in PA-01 shows Democrat Ashley Ehasz beating Republican incumbent Brian Fitzpatrick by 10 points when voters are informed of his anti-abortion record.
Enough is enough. We need universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and real leadership in our community.
My thoughts this morning on the senseless violence in Roxborough last night:
“Our veterans deserve a VA that is 100% focused on ensuring they receive timely and quality care, not on implementing [President] Joe Biden’s abortion-on-demand-agenda,” Tuberville said in a statement.
Terrorists stormed our capitol on
#Jan6
The police who stood up to that mob did so to protect our democracy. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick has done nothing, and in doing so, he breaks his oath of office. Our freedom is under threat, I'm running for Congress to save it.
Here in Newtown with
@JoshShapiroPA
and
@JohnFetterman
in the final push.
When I needed her most, my country saved me.
And now, our country needs me, you, all of us, to save her. This Tuesday, November 8, stand up for her and vote.
Marjorie Taylor Greene said that joining the military is “throwing your life away”. I joined the Army at 17 to break away from the hardship I was born into. I’m a West Point grad now running for Congress to help others in hardship. What’s that tell you?
When
@JohnFetterman
came to Bucks, I saw a candidate with genuine empathy for the challenges faced by the working people of my community. I saw a man who spoke with clear conviction, ready to fight for us. I'm proud that he is our nominee, and I can't wait to serve alongside him.
As a combat veteran, I have profound respect for our law enforcement and security forces.
Just a reminder: Brian Fitzpatrick, a former FBI agent, has just stood by while Elise Stefanik and the GOP deride his former colleagues.
Vote him out.
I’m honored to be endorsed by EMILYs List! PA-01 voters are overwhelmingly pro-choice and I'm the only pro-choice candidate in this race. I look forward to representing our community’s priorities for access to reproductive healthcare in Congress.
I-95 is back open!! In less than two weeks!!! WOOHOOO🎉
We owe a debt of gratitude to the union workers who worked non-stop to accomplish this. Thank you.
On Jan 6, 2021, I was no longer in the military, but I knew my fight to protect our country was not over, and so I decided to run for office. Last night,
@POTUS
once again reminded us that this midterm election is a part of our “battle for the soul of the nation.” (1/3)
When I needed her most, my country saved me. Joining the Army at 17 yrs old forever changed my life.
This Veterans Day, I am more proud than ever to have served my country in combat and command, and I cannot wait to continue to serve my community here in Bucks and Montgomery.
I am so proud of what we accomplished here, and I hope you are too.
Without taking a dime of corporate PAC money or outside institutional support, we turned out more Midterm voters than ever before in PA01.
I look forward to keeping this momentum going, and to what comes next.
HUGE NEWS:
@PhillyInquirer
has endorsed my campaign, the first time since 2016 they haven't endorsed my opponent.
They know what's at stake in this election: reproductive freedom, protecting democracy, and our health. l'm proud to have their endorsement.
Why does Brian Fitzpatrick lack the political courage to vote against an election-denying anti-choice extremist, while other members of the GOP are standing on the right side of justice?
My statement on Fitzpatrick’s vote for Jim Jordan.
Brian Fitzpatrick’s vote for Johnson shows you exactly who he is: a spineless creature of Washington, who caves to MAGA extremists. We can’t trust him to protect the right to abortion or the right to love who we love when he votes alongside Matt Gaetz and MTG. We must flip
#PA01
As a West Point graduate and combat veteran, I am proud to see bipartisan veteran leadership guiding tonight’s hearings.
The Constitution comes first. Always.
#January6thHearing
21 years ago, I was a thirteen year old girl who suddenly became aware of the dangers of the world. Four years after that, I would join the Army and fight to defend the United States.
I wanted to share a brief reflection with you all on the anniversary of
#September11
Next time
@giselefetterman
cuts your head out of the photo, John, remember that you and your entire face are always welcome here in PA-01...
Just as long as you bring Gisele.
Thanks again for coming to Bucks!
As a U.S. Army veteran and Apache pilot, to have the endorsement of
@votevets
is the greatest honor of my campaign thus far. I’ve served my country, and I can’t wait to serve
#PA01
Last night, the Senate GOP voted on SB 106, a dangerous piece of legislation adding a constitutional amendment declaring Pennsylvanians have no right to abortions.
This was a dirty move pulled in the dark of night.
More than ever, we need a pro-choice majority in Pennsylvania.
PA-01 is an overwhelmingly
#ProChoice
district. And the last time I checked, Dr. Oz and his anti-choice views are completely out of touch here. My thoughts on Brian Fitzpatrick's endorsement here:
My anti-choice opponent has millions in the bank. With Roe overturned, we have to keep a Dem majority in the House.
This race is going to be expensive. I need your support if this is going to work.
Donate today, right now, we have no time to lose:
Tonight, Trump was in Wilkes-Barre, coming to Mastriano and Oz’s rescue in a desperate attempt to save their failing campaigns. In 2020, Pennsylvanians turned out in record numbers to elect Joe Biden and Democrats at every level of government. In 2022, we can win again.
When I joined
@ReedGalen
on the
@ProjectLincoln
podcast recently, we talked about the dangerous normalization of extremism in America.
Trump’s statement that he’d abuse his position of power on “day one” is a perfect example of this danger.
Don’t let this become normal.
I am disappointed, but not surprised, that Brian Fitzpatrick voted to impeach Sec. Mayorkas, in a blatantly partisan power grab without any intention to address border and immigration policies.
Yet another example of the chaos of a Republican House majority.
Brian Fitzpatrick voted twice for a MAGA extremist who wants to ban abortion and gut Social Security & Medicare. Now after severe blowback he is trying to save face. Pennsylvanians deserve real representation, not someone whose first instinct is to kowtow to Donald Trump.
My opponent Brian Fitzpatrick just said that Dr. Oz, who’s called abortion murder, would “make a phenomenal Senator”.
Brian Fitzpatrick and his extreme anti-choice views cannot serve us in Congress.
Young people join the military to defend their country, and for those in families like mine, achieve the American dream.
Maybe our recruitment is low because guys in power like Tom Cotton are more interested in attacking democracy from within than defending it.
Brian Fitzpatrick just voted against Liz Cheney's Presidential Election Reform Act, which will help stop another
#Jan6
and protect our electoral process.
Why would he do that? Why didn't he join nine other Republicans in protecting our democracy? We must defeat him in November.
BREAKING: The House just passed H.R. 8873, the Presidential Election Reform Act — Reps. Cheney and Lofgren's bill to reform the Electoral Count Act — 229-203.
Just nine Republicans joined all Democrats to support legislation that would prevent future coups.
In PA-01, a 13 y/o girl and two others were killed in a shooting which included an assault weapon.
GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick personally blocked an assault weapons ban from the House floor last summer.
Vote this November like your kids’ lives depend on it. Because they do.
I just voted, and you should, too!
It’s Primary Election Day in Pennsylvania. If you don’t have a plan to vote yet - go make one - and then get on out there to the polls!
We’re all counting on you to help make a difference 🇺🇸
Last night’s attack on Beth Israel synagogue is yet another example of escalating anti-semitism in America and is part of the rising tide of extremism in our country. To do this on the Shabbat, on MLK weekend, in a house of worship, goes against everything our country stands for.
I am disappointed, but not surprised, that Brian Fitzpatrick voted to impeach Sec. Mayorkas, in a blatantly partisan power grab without any intention to address border and immigration policies.
Yet another example of the chaos of a Republican House majority.
Today we mark the 51st anniversary of Roe v Wade in a world where the GOP majority is hell-bent on passing a national abortion ban.
That’s why I’m running for Congress in PA-01: to make sure we all are free to make our own choices for our health, our families, and our futures.
"As a combat veteran, one of the things that scares me the most is how normalized the dysfunction and chaos has become."
I joined
@reedgalen
and the
@ProjectLincoln
team this week for a great conversation on patriotism and winning back our democracy from the GOP. Listen here!
The
@GOP
is an entity that governs strictly through chaos and fear. Our unifying message must be to not allow the Republicans and their perverse autocratic actions to take our nation away from us.
@Ashley_Ehasz
discusses with
@ReedGalen
on the new pod:
I'm so excited to welcome our next Senator and my friend
@JohnFetterman
to Bucks County next Sunday. Together, we are going to fight like hell in Washington for working families.
The first report has come in from HD-140 and with nearly 3,700 absentee and mail-in ballots counted:
Jim Prokopiak (D) 3,143 (85.4%)
Candace Cabanas (R) 518 (14.1%)
Write-In: 21 (0.6%)
@AP
has called the race for Prokopiak, boosting Dems' majority in the State House to 102-100
While it breaks my heart to hear what he’s going through, I am so proud of my friend
@JohnFetterman
. I’ve seen too many of my soldiers succumb to depression to not understand how important it is to seek help.
If you ever need to know what real leadership looks like, this is it.
After what he’s been through in the past year, there’s probably no one who wanted to talk about his own health less than John. I’m so proud of him for asking for help and getting the care he needs.
Don't be fooled by my opponent, Brian Fitzpatrick. He is not pro-choice. H.R. 36 is not a “compromise” as he calls it, and it’s not safe for women. It’s an abortion ban.
Watch as I break down his lie.
Proud to be on strike with UAW Local 2177
@UAWregion9
! We’re out here today fighting for a decent standard of living, and against the gross disparity between CEOs and workers paychecks.
The Big 3 have record profits, so let’s get record contracts now!
#UAWSolidarity
#UAWStrike
How to turn the 5 words it takes to say “I’m voting for Jim Jordan” into a 750 character word salad.
This man writes political statements like Willy Wonka trying to explain his factory’s employment policies.
I have fought for and served my country, facing combat overseas and commanding soldiers at home and abroad, and now I am ready to step into the arena for
#PA01
and fight for our families and future here in Bucks and Montgomery Counties.
Let's go.
Donald Trump is coming to Bucks County next weekend for a fundraiser.
PA-01 deserves to know if
@RepBrianFitz
is going to endorse Trump, and if Fitzpatrick is going to attend this fundraiser for Trump.
So far he’s run away from the reporters asking him.
Tomorrow, just days after a shooting killed a 14 year old at school, Doug Mastriano will speak at an event auctioning off an AR-15 in Bucks.
@BrianFitzUSA
- you say you support gun reform.
Why are you silent about this? It's happening right here in our community. Where are you?
When given the chance to be on the right side of history today, ‘moderate’ PA Republican Sen. Toomey voted against the first Black woman on the Supreme Court. Funny how all these ‘moderates’ become right-wing real quick when McConnell and McCarthy are watching 👀.
I’m proud to have joined
@IndivisibleBUX
yesterday to kick off the anti-Trump, anti-Fitzpatrick caravan in Newtown!
We made it clear that PA-01 wants only pro-choice and pro-democracy leaders.
And these guys ain’t it.
Bristol, PA and on a football Sunday. 😭 Also got a chance to spend time with the incredible
@ashley_ehasz
- please throw some love and support her way too. ❤️
I am stoked to have Senator
@JohnFetterman
as the newest member of Team Ehasz!
Together, we will make sure the people of Pennsylvania’s First District have the leadership in Congress they deserve.
.
@Ashley_Ehasz
secured a massive W in her primary!
Very proud to endorse Ashley—an honorable veteran and a staunch patriot.
Chip in whatever you can to help Ashley's campaign👇
I was honored to welcome my friends
@DouglasEmhoff
and
@JoshShapiroPA
to Bucks today at our canvass kickoff with
@AllIn_PA
!
I’m proud to have their endorsement, and to stand with them to protect our Commonwealth and our Democracy.
In the Army, I was stationed in Alabama, Texas, and Kansas. I didn’t get to choose where I lived.
If I had been in uniform when Roe was overturned, like my sisters-in-arms are now, I would have had little or no legal access to abortions.
Our service members deserve better.
Mike Flynn and his cronies do not represent the military I served in.
To see a former 4-star general, who swore the same oath I did to defend the constitution, refuse to answer when asked if he believed in the peaceful transfer of power is absolutely devastating.
#Jan6Hearings
There are times when even the Army and Navy can get along, and this is one of them 😉
It’s always great to see another veteran join the fight here in PA!
As a Marine & TOPGUN Fighter Pilot, I spent 20 years defending democracy overseas.
We need more of that at home, right now.
That’s why I’m running for Congress in
#PA10
. To defeat Jan 6th ringleader Scott Perry & deliver for hard-working PA families like the one I grew up in.
My opponent Brian Fitzpatrick is so busy making friends with New Jersey’s own Dr. Oz that he’s not paying attention to the people here in Bucks and Montco who are overcharged at the gas pump and afraid of losing essential family planning services.
Less than 24 hours after first voting for election-denying, anti-abortion extremist Jim Jordan, Fitzpatrick doubles down and votes for him AGAIN.
Fitzpatrick, consider yourself on notice: We’re coming for your seat in 2024.
Why does Brian Fitzpatrick lack the political courage to vote against an election-denying anti-choice extremist, while other members of the GOP are standing on the right side of justice?
My statement on Fitzpatrick’s vote for Jim Jordan.
Just a reminder that Fitzpatrick has voted against Roe twice, vowed to defund Planned Parenthood, and has supported extreme legislation limiting abortion access. Your reproductive rights are on the line this November, and Fitzpatrick will NOT be the one protecting them.
#VoteBlue
Thank you to everyone who participated in the electoral process and put their trust in me to be their nominee this November!
It is an honor to have earned your vote and I am grateful to have the opportunity to flip PA-01 and fight for our fundamental freedoms in Congress.
My opponent Brian Fitzpatrick is playing political games with peoples lives.
Last night he voted against the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022, legislation aimed at combating violent extremism by white nationalists, a bill that he….co-sponsored?🤔🤨🤯 1/3
Where are you running to
@RepBrianFitz
? Your corporate donors? They are clearly all you care about since you’re voting down programs that help struggling families eat.
Side note: Only Serena van der Woodsen can get away with the “I have to go, I have a phone call” move…
“So now, all of a sudden, [Fitzpatrick] wants to ‘get to the truth’, after he voted against the Jan. 6th Committee and voted against impeaching Trump twice?" .
@RepBrianFitz
, why are you talking about “unimpeachable integrity” when it's clear that you're not on justice's side?
Let me get this straight: Brian Fitzpatrick and the rest of his GOP cronies know that our border desperately needs more protection, and yet they are refusing to do anything about it because they don’t want to work across the aisle?
So much for being “Mr. Bipartisan”, right?
I was proud to stand by powerful humans dedicated to fighting for reproductive justice yesterday at rallies in Middletown and Doylestown.
Our country, and millions of young Americans, are counting on us to get angry, get organized, and get out the vote in November.
My opponent, Brian Fitzpatrick, is stumping for Oz tonight. Oz, who said an abortion was a decision that should include local political leaders.
We cannot let anti-choice politicians like Oz, Fitzpatrick, and Doug Mastriano make decisions over women’s bodies in Pennsylvania.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick spoke at Oz’s rally tonight in Bucks County. He hasn’t been a frequent presence on the trail w/ Oz so notable he’s on stage. Generating strong GOP turnout in the suburbs here will be key for Oz, esp since abortion rights has galvanized many Ds in region.
On Nov 7, 2020, my opponent Rep. Fitzpatrick sent a letter to the PA GOV demanding an investigation into election fraud, despite a complete lack of evidence.
Election officials across the country received death threats because of partisan grandstanding like this.
#Jan6Hearings
If anyone doubted that this year would be different, they underestimated the women of Pennsylvania. Since the Dobbs decision, 62% of newly registered women voters are Democrats.
#WomenVote
Thousands of women across Pa. have registered to vote since the Dobbs vs. Jackson decision that overturned the federal right to an abortion in the U.S.
Of the women who have registered since the decision, there are four Democrats for every Republican.
As we hear it confirmed that Trump delighted in hearing chants to hang his own Vice President, let us remind you that GOP Rep. Fitzpatrick voted against:
❌impeachment (twice)
❌formation of the Jan 6 committee
❌holding Mark Meadows in contempt
#January6thHearing
It’s official: Team Ehasz filed for the ballot yesterday with over 3.5x the number of signatures we needed!
I can’t thank our incredible volunteers enough for this outpouring of support and show of momentum.
Let’s do this!!! 🤩
As a former military commander, I know the importance of female leadership and the power of women as decision-makers. I will support initiatives for pay equity, universal preschool, and affordable child care to ensure women from all backgrounds can have their voices heard.
So, let me get this straight: On Day 1, supposedly “Pro-Union” GOP Rep. Fitzpatrick voted against his own staff’s right to unionize and voted to triple how long it’ll take your tax return $ to get back to you?
There’s a word for this. Oh, right. Weak.
I am humbled to have the endorsement of
@votevets
. As those of us who wore the uniform say, ‘I’ve got your six’. Let this endorsement send a message to GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and his far-right cronies that when you pick a fight with veterans, we fight back for one another.
Has anyone heard from anti-choice GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick in the wake of the abortion pill ruling?
PA01 is a pro-choice district, but he cares more about Washington politics than women’s reproductive rights being stripped away.
#WhereIsBrian
🕵🏻♀️
I caught up with my friend
@FPWellman
on the
@MeidasTouch
podcast to call out Brian Fitzpatrick’s hypocrisy. Watch our interview, and footage of Brian as he flees from reporters asking him if he will support Trump!
I joined the Army at 17, just a scrawny kid fresh out of my braces. But, I knew I wanted to serve my country.
And on my very first day, I knew I was surrounded by others who wanted the same.
Happy
#VeteransDay
to all who answered the call. And thank you.
The path to taking back the U.S. House majority runs right through Pennsylvania.
Let’s get
@ashley_ehasz
to D.C. this November.
There 👏 are 👏no 👏moderate 👏Republicans!
The House just passed the Inflation Reduction Act! This isn’t just the biggest climate action bill in history—it’s catching wealthy tax cheats and making billion dollar corporations pay their fair share.
I’ll take this moment to remind folks that as Bucks County experienced a tragic level of flooding last week, and now the hottest month on record: GOP Rep. Fitzpatrick voted to give tax cuts to Big Oil companies just last month.
Vote him out if you want a better future.
Tonight I gave public comment opposing Newtown Athletic Club owner Jim Worthington’s proposed gun show. As a veteran I support the 2nd Amendment, but Worthington’s support for Stop the Steal, which endangered law enforcement, shows he cannot be trusted to host an event like this.
To mark 1 year since Roe fell, let’s not forget that GOP Rep. Fitzpatrick:
❌Voted against the Women’s Health Protection Act - twice
❌Voted to criminalize doctors who perform abortions
❌Voted against abortions even when the mother’s health is threatened
Vote. Him. Out.
Biden’s BBB plan will tax rich earners and multinational corporations, making universal pre-k, housing costs, and drug prices like insulin affordable. This plan is based on corporations and the rich paying their fair share so the rest of us can live with dignity and prosper.
As a combat veteran, I will always support fully funding our troops and our national defense.
However, today I would have voted no to this version of the NDAA. This bill, and
@RepBrianFitz
who voted for it, just ended abortion healthcare for women in uniform.
House Republicans extreme defense bill is an affront to women servicemembers and their families, and undermines our national security.
We strongly oppose this dangerous, far right bill.
READ FULL RELEASE:
🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨
Brian Fitzpatrick votes lockstep with Matt Gaetz & MTG to deny American women their reproductive rights. Fitzpatrick and the GOP chaos party will not stop their war against women & healthcare providers until Democrats flip PA-01 blue and win back the House
📣 We’re endorsing
@ashley_ehasz
to represent PA-01 in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Ashley will take action to protect reproductive freedom nationwide, while her opponent has continuously opposed abortion access,.
