Ranked the #1 most bipartisan Member of Congress by the The Lugar Center and McCourt School at Georgetown University for an unprecedented five consecutive years, and as the elected Chairman of the Bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, the only two-party caucus in Congress, Brian has become the national standard-bearer for unity, trusted on both sides of the aisle to tackle the toughest challenges facing our nation.
Before entering public office, Brian served for 15 years as an FBI Special Agent and Federal Prosecutor. Brian was embedded with U.S. Special Forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and he has led investigations into public corruption, counterterrorism, and counterintelligence threats. Brian graduated first in his class at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, went on to win the FBI Director’s Award, and was named Investigator of the Year for his role as the Lead Case Agent in Operation City Lights, the largest political corruption takedown in New York City history. Brian later served as the National Director for the FBI’s Campaign Finance and Election Crimes Enforcement Program, and as a National Supervisor for the FBI’s Public Corruption Unit at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.. The FBI has deployed Brian on counterterrorism and counterintelligence missions across the globe, to include Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
In the 119th Congress, Brian sits on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, as well as the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where he serves as Chairman of the Central Intelligence Agency. In his role as CIA Chairman, Congressman Fitzpatrick oversees all CIA covert and clandestine sensitive operations across the globe. Brian has also been designated by House leadership as a Congressional Representative to NATO.
A licensed attorney, CPA, and EMT, Brian co-chairs nearly 20 caucuses and task forces—including the Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Task Force, the House Cancer Caucus, the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, and the Congressional Ukraine Caucus—leading bipartisan reforms to deliver for Pennsylvania’s First District, hold government accountable, strengthen America’s workforce, grow our local economy, expand access to care, drive critical research, safeguard our seniors and children, and reinforce America’s leadership on the world stage.
Earlier this year, Rep. Fitzpatrick married Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich in an Americana-themed ceremony.
