Corrupt Harvie’s Horrific Record Exposed
A brutal new report is exposing the horrible record of corrupt Bob Harvie, the subject of an FBI investigation, as Bucks County Commissioner.
Whether it’s funding services for illegal immigrants with taxpayer dollars, transporting teenagers to gender transition seminars using money from the Bucks County Opioid Settlement Fund, or raising families’ cost of living, corrupt Harvie’s time in office has been nothing short of a disaster.
What did Harvie have to say for his years of terrible decision-making? Nothing. Per usual.
“Corrupt Bob Harvie, the subject of an FBI investigation, has spent his time in office serially misusing taxpayer resources and raising Bucks County families’ cost of living. Voters know Harvie belongs nowhere near Congress.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson

Bucks County Commissioner Bob Harvie Jr., who is running against Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-01), won a May 19 Democratic primary, beating avowed progressive Lucia Simonelli.
Will the former Falls Township supervisor stumble over his record as a county commissioner when he tries to pivot toward the center for the general election?
For example, Harvie voted to give $3,000 in county funds to a leftist organization that aided illegal immigrants.
In 2022, Harvie twice voted to award county dollars to Immigrant Rights Action, a group that provided “access to food, shelter, and clothing” and legal help to “migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees in Bucks County.”
Immigrant Rights Action merged with The Welcome Project PA, or El Proyecto de Bienvenida PA, last year.
Immigrant Rights Action’s former director, Heidi Roux, is now listed on The Welcome Project PA’s website as its director of immigrant justice.
Both Harvie and his fellow Democratic commissioner, Diane Ellis-Marseglia, also voted to stop former Sheriff Fred Harran from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to remove criminals from the county.
The ACLU and the Community Justice Project sued Harran, saying he needed the commissioners’ approval for an agreement with ICE. Although a judge ruled against them, Harran lost his reelection race to Danny Ceisler, who reversed the agreement with ICE.
During his tenure as county commissioner, Harvie has given Bucks County taxpayers’ money for other controversial causes.
Harvie used money from the Bucks County Opioid Settlement Fund to fund woke programming at the Rainbow Room, which aims to educate children on transitioning to a different gender.
And during the Covid-19 pandemic, Harvie used taxpayer funds to purchase over $100,000 in gift cards for county employees who had received the vaccine, despite vaccination being required to keep their jobs.
It was also in the wake of COVID shutdowns that Harvie and Ellis-Marselia sued two Bucks County mothers, Megan Brock and Jamie Walker, who had won right-to-know requests, to prevent them from obtaining emails regarding how the county decided to keep schools from opening, superseding advice from County Health Director Dr. David Damsker.
Brock and Walker eventually prevailed after several years of angst and litigation.
“Harvie cannot be trusted to be a congressman,” Walker said. “While being a county commissioner, he approved suing myself and my friend Megan Brock to hide emails for his Democratic colleague, Diane Marseglia. He made the decision that it was better to use taxpayer dollars to withhold public records than to release them like the Office of Open Records. He took the case to court and asked a common pleas judge to rule in his favor and make the entire state of Pennsylvania less transparent for constituents…. If he thought this was OK to do while being commissioner, imagine what he will do to average people as a congressman.”
While Democrats are betting on Harvie to win, some observers believe he won’t be able to unseat the incumbent.
“PA-01 continues to be the Democrats’ white whale… always trying, and losing, races there to Fitzpatrick, who is as politically resilient as they come,” said Republican consultant Christoper Nicholas.
