[constituency_baseline] District summary: Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District encompasses the Lehigh Valley region, including all of Lehigh, Northampton, and Carbon Counties, plus parts of Monroe County. With approximately 775,601 residents, it is a highly competitive seat (Cook PVI R+1, R shift +3) that Mackenzie flipped from Democrat Susan Wild in 2024 with 50.5% of the vote. The district has a median household income of $82,392 — more than double the national median — and a poverty rate of 7.1% (ACS) to 10.5% (Data USA). The population is 69.8% White (Non-Hispanic) and 20.8% Hispanic, with 95.2% U.S. citizenship and 11% foreign-born (84,900 people). Median home values are $292,600 with a 69.2% homeownership rate. 32.8% hold bachelor's degrees, roughly at the national average. The economy is anchored by healthcare (Lehigh Valley Health Network, St. Luke's University Health Network — both among the largest employers), manufacturing (Mack Trucks, B. Braun Medical, Lutron Electronics), logistics/warehousing (Amazon, FedEx Ground hubs along I-78/81 corridors), and education (Lehigh University, Moravian University, Penn State Lehigh Valley). The district is car-dependent: 74% drive alone to work with a 26.6-minute average commute. The Spanish-speaking population is significant (101,287 households), along with Arabic and Chinese-speaking communities. Key local concerns include healthcare access, Medicaid/SNAP (85% of Allentown children rely on at least one program), manufacturing job retention, and affordability. Mackenzie serves on the House Committees on Homeland Security, Foreign Affairs, and Education and Workforce.

Voted yea on H.R. 7147 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 — On Passage and DHS Funding Resolution) on 2026-03-27: Mackenzie was one of the most prominent House advocates for fully funding DHS during the 76-day partial shutdown. He introduced a resolution thanking DHS staff and calling for full funding, and spoke on the House floor in support. When Lehigh County officials attempted to 'evict' ICE from county buildings, he fired back on Fox News, calling it an attack on law enforcement. As a Homeland Security Committee member representing a district with TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA employees, his advocacy was both institutional and constituent-facing. The vote aligned with his pro-ICE enforcement messaging and Laken Riley Act support.

Voted yea on H.R. 7567 (Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (Farm Bill) — On Passage) on 2026-04-30: Mackenzie voted Yea (224-200) and supported an amendment to eliminate pesticide manufacturer handouts, which he touted. The bill preserved SNAP cuts from the OBBB — directly affecting food-insecure families in his 10.5% poverty-rate district where an estimated 40,000 households rely on SNAP. The NRCC celebrated his support for farmers; AffordablePA criticized him for voting for a Farm Bill that 'does not address the drastic cuts to SNAP.' Only 3 Republicans voted Nay. As a member of the Education and Workforce Committee (not Agriculture), his Farm Bill vote reflected conference loyalty.

His district is 95.2% citizens — the ID requirements create minimal barriers for constituents. Only 4 Democrats joined. The Heritage Action scorecard gave him a 58% rating, noting his support for 'both legal documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote and for individuals to present an eligible photo identification document to cast their vote.'

Voted nay on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($60.8 billion)) on 2024-04-20: Mackenzie opposed Ukraine aid, earning an 'F' grade from Republicans for Ukraine. His Italian Wikipedia entry notes he 'si oppose all'invio di ulteriori aiuti all'Ucraina' (opposed sending further aid to Ukraine). The vote aligned with his America First positioning but placed him at odds with the 101 Republicans who supported aid. As a Foreign Affairs Committee member, his position carried institutional weight. Constituents waving Ukrainian flags at protests outside his office signaled local disagreement with his isolationist stance.

Voted yea on H.Con.Res.14 (House Budget Resolution FY2025 — Initiating Reconciliation for OBBB) on 2025-02-25: Mackenzie voted Yea (217-215) on the budget resolution that directed the Energy and Commerce Committee to cut $880 billion. When constituents confronted him, he disputed that he voted for Medicaid cuts, calling it a 'framework.' The CBO confirmed the cuts were impossible without touching Medicaid or Medicare. The DCCC reported 72,000 constituents and 40,000 households in PA-07 rely on Medicaid and SNAP. This procedural vote was the gateway to the OBBB, and Mackenzie's subsequent denial that he had voted for Medicaid cuts became a central controversy of his first term.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment and Final Passage) on 2025-07-03: Mackenzie's Yea vote (218-214) was the defining vote of his freshman term. He was one of the last Republicans to commit, telling CNN in April 2025 he was 'still weighing his options,' then casting an 'essential vote' that allowed the bill to pass by a single vote. The CBO projected the bill would cut ~$930 billion from Medicaid and add $3-4 trillion to the deficit. His district's 10.5% poverty rate, 85% of Allentown children relying on Medicaid or SNAP, and 72,000 Medicaid recipients in PA-07 made the cuts directly harmful to his constituents. He touted the bill as delivering 'tax relief' and 'securing the border.' The AFL-CIO and CWA scored him 0% on all key 2025 votes. His vote drew weekly protests outside his office ('Mondays with Mackenzie') and was opposed by all three Democratic candidates seeking to challenge him in 2026.

His district is 95.2% citizens with 11% foreign-born — immigration enforcement has limited direct impact. The vote aligned with his Homeland Security Committee membership and his subsequent high-profile confrontation with Lehigh County officials attempting to 'evict' ICE from county buildings. As a freshman in a competitive R+1 district, the vote signaled border-security orthodoxy.
