Why You Should Vote in 2024

Our Rights and Our Democracy Are On the Ballot

The Key Races

Every Democrat on the ballot in Bucks County is prepared to defend our rights and our democracy from threats by increasingly extreme, far-right candidates.

President Kamala Harris and Vice President Tim Walz

This Presidential election is about two starkly different choices:

One in which we choose a new generation of leadership in Vice President Kamala Harris and Govenor Tim Walz, strong, forward-looking leaders who will:

  • Continue to rebuild the middle class by ensuring billionaires and corporations pay their fair share and will launch innovative programs that will lower the cost of goods, make housing more affordable, and ease the childcare and elderly care burden for families
  • Protect women’s bodies and their rights from extremist ideologues by working to codify a right to abortion into law
  • Expand access to affordable healthcare and stop Republican efforts to defund Social Security

OR one in which we go backwards to a much darker time and an increasingly diminished and spiteful Donald Trump:

  • Nearly half of Trump’s previous cabinet including his own Vice President will not support him. Many say he is unfit to serve because he is too extreme and dangerously incompetent
  • Trump continues to brag about his successful effort to overturn Roe v Wade and he has openly mused about enacting a national abortion ban
  • Trump has already tried to take the healthcare of millions and will do so again by ending the affordable care act with absolutely no alternative plan
  • Trump has recently threatened to use the American military on American citizens that don’t support him, has plans to deport legal immigrants, will initiate tariffs that will enrich his billionaire buddies while raising taxes on the middle class, is an adjudicated rapist, has 34 felony convictions, dozens of other pending felony counts against him in multiple trials, Project 2025,  the list goes on…

U.S. Senator Bob Casey

Bob Casey has represented Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate since 2006 and has built a reputation as a staunch advocate for healthcare, education, and workers’ rights. Throughout his tenure, Casey has focused on issues such as expanding access to affordable healthcare, protecting Social Security, and promoting economic growth through job creation. Known for his bipartisan approach, he strives to foster cooperation among lawmakers to address the needs of Pennsylvanians and the nation as a whole.

U.S. Representative to Congress Ashley Ehasz

Democrat and combat veteran Ashley Ehasz will always vote to protect women’s reproductive rights. Ashley’s opponent Brian Fitzpatrick, has worked hard to hide his extreme positions against abortion access. Fitzpatrick has voted to ban abortion even in some cases of rape and incest, and he voted against codifying the right to an abortion just weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. When voters in Bucks were made aware of Fitzpatrick’s anti-choice vote, they preferred Ashley by ten points.

Your State Representative

Democrats currently hold the majority of the State House in Pennsylvania by a single member. In Bucks County, we have ten state rep races that could decide whether or not we expand the majority or turn control back over to a regressive Republican house that wants to limit abortion access, defund public schools, and repeal voting rights. Every Democratic candidate on the ballot will defend a woman’s right to control her own body, will stand up for public education, and will work to ensure all eligible voters can vote in Pennsylvania

PA Attorney General, Treasurer, Auditor General

Democrat Eugene DePasquale for Attorney General will continue Josh Shapiro’s work of holding corporations and special interests accountable.

Democrats Erin McLelland for Treasurer and Malcolm Kenyatta for Auditor General look to unseat Republicans and bring back fiscal responsibility and accountability to their respective offices.

The Democratic Sample Ballot

In 2024 the only difference among ballots in Bucks County is your State Representative candidate. This example shows House District 144 candidate Brian Munroe who represents Ivyland, New Britain (part), Upper Southampton, Warrington and Warminster

If you lost your ballot or do not have the ballot or return envelope that came with your Mail Ballot, you can still vote at the polls using a provisional ballot. If at all possible though, we recommend going to the Board of Elections and voting On Demand. See the Vote On Demand section for more info. If going to the polls is your only option, tell the Judge of Elections you’d like to fill out a provisional ballot. These ballots will be reviewed by the Board of Elections within a week of Election Day. Provided the Board of Elections did not receive a Mail Ballot from you and there are no other issues prohibiting you from voting, your vote will count.
