As a Pennsylvania Republican voter, I know that you care about your Second Amendment rights. That’s why Pennsylvania must elect a pro-gun Governor in 2022.
I am delighted to announce Gun Owners of America’s (GOA) endorsement of Senator Doug Mastriano for Governor of Pennsylvania.
Among gun owners, Senator Mastriano needs no introduction. That's because he's been a champion of your Second Amendment rights ever since he took office as a PA state senator.
Senator Mastriano’s legislative record is impeccable and speaks for itself. He is the prime sponsor of SB 624, the Right to Bear Arms Protection Act, a bill that would stop Pennsylvania officials from cooperating with the illegal gun grab coming from Joe Biden's Executive Actions.
As a state senator, Doug Mastriano has a 100% pro-gun voting record and provided unconditional support on the Senate floor in favor of Constitutional Carry (SB 565). He was also a co-sponsor of every PA Senate bill GOA prioritized for the 2021-2022 session.
Here is what Senator Mastriano has to say in his own words regarding your Second Amendment rights:
I am 100% in support of 2nd Amendment rights as guaranteed by the Constitution. I believe wholeheartedly that the government "shall not infringe" on that right. I'll fight for preemption and reciprocity and will never support any legislation that seeks to restrict or limit this right for law-abiding citizens. I also support Constitutional Carry and the Right to Bear Arms Protection Act, protecting gun rights from federal encroachment.
Senator Mastriano's efforts with other matters, important to Pennsylvania gun owners, are legendary. You have seen Senator Mastriano on TV, radio, and social media defending the personal freedoms of all Pennsylvanians during the COVID-19 shutdown in PA. Many of these restrictions closed gun stores and ranges, all of which are essential businesses that should have NEVER been closed.
Senator Mastriano took the lead on ensuring election integrity with a Forensic Audit before being wrongfully stripped from that role and having his Harrisburg staff removed by Senate President Jake Corman in a move to bolster his own gubernatorial hopes through discrediting Senator Mastriano.
The stakes are high in 2022. Pennsylvania gun owners are facing one of the worst enemies of freedom ever with anti-gun Attorney General Josh Shapiro as the Democratic frontrunner for Governor.
Senator Mastriano is the only candidate who can beat Shapiro in the general election, so please support his campaign and vote for him in the May 17th Republican primary.
But I need your help today to ensure that Pennsylvania GOA’s Independent Expenditure Committee has the means to support candidates like Doug Mastriano throughout Pennsylvania.
So, please take a minute to send a contribution to our Independent Expenditure Committee to help elect pro-gun candidates across the Commonwealth.
I do not either support or reject him. I am merely sharing this for the good FReepers of Pennsylvania to see, discuss and debate.
Calling you to this post so that you may share it via the PA Ping List.
This isn’t good. I planned on voting for Lou Barletta.
Yep, he’s the choice for sure.
Is the NRA even a thing anymore?
Good guy. I’ve met him and talked with him at length.
MI Colonel, not sure if light or not, served in the 82d, Germany, etc.
Down to earth guy. I even contributed to his campaign after I met him and I don’t live in PA!
He and Lou Barletta are at the top of my list but it’s way too early to settle on anyone.
The NRA is a self-serving organization that accepts donations to pay for lawsuits that are filed against it.
How are Barletta & Mastriano different on the issues?
Oh, and he is VERY Pro-Trump.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Lou Barletta is my choice....Doug is a close second.
Both are conservative. Mastriano is a supporter of Trump that was at the protest march in DC on Jan. 6th. His biography is everything you would want in a conservative. Retired Lt. Colonel with a PhD. I did not see a thing I did not like!

Here is his website for his campaign.
Barletta is a long-time politician who is conservative on all the issues.

But when putting this together I did come across a story of a daughter with a DUI and other issues.
I’ve met Lou several times when in DC doing work for my veterans’ organization, Keystone Paralyzed Veterans of America ( www.kpva.org ) and he has always helped promote veterans issues. Big guy with a big smile.
Yeah, awesome guy. His stupidity and weakness is the reason PA went to mail in ballots causing Trump to lose the election. Totally awesome, dude.
Daughter with a DUI? After Hunter, his kid could likely be a serial killer and not get pub.
Are you being sarcastic? He was the main reason PA went Biden.
I like Lou Barletta and and the weak, stupid guy who was tricked into letting the democrats do their mail in ballot scheme, too! Cool!
Ohm, yeah. SOOOOOOO Trump that Kelly Ann Conway called mastriano a phony. VERY pro trump.
Mastriano did that? I got to start paying attention to this upcoming primary.
Fixed that for you.
