Vulnerable incumbent says one thing at home and votes another way in DC
According to a new Fox News report Congressman Cartwright claims to be a “moderate”, but in reality, he is a member of the far-left Congressional Progressive Caucus and has voted with “Squad” members over 95% of the time and supported their radical agenda items such as the Green New Deal.
The article reads “I am a moderate, so don’t be worried about me running off with Nancy Pelosi,” Pennsylvania Rep. Matt Cartwright said in 2014 during a debate in the lead up to his first re-election. Nearly a decade later, voting records show Cartwright overwhelmingly voted in line with Nancy Pelosi when she served as House Speaker, and has continued his membership with the left-wing Congressional Progressive Caucus as a handful of other left-wing Democrats left the group following the war in Israel or over cost of membership.”

Rob Bresnahan added the following comment in response to this report:
“Every election year Matt Cartwright proclaims ‘I work for you’ to the working-class voters of the 8th District. How could that be true as a member of the radical Progressive Caucus? It’s not. Matt Cartwright represents the radical left, and they own his vote.”
