Republican @RepBrianFitz has cut a moderate brand for himself. He's both someone that Democrats are desperate to knock off (using his Ways and Means committee work as a liability for the GOP tax law) and someone they'd love to work with if he survives. @maconatkinson spent some time in Fitz's district, and he told her in September he believes in “bringing back the top bracket” for higher earners. Bob Harvie, the Dem running against him, might be the best shot they have to knock Fitz out. He's been elected county-wide in Bucks twice. READ MORE: news.bgov.com/bloomberg-gove…
