Election Integrity Champion Doug Mastriano Formally Announces Pennsylvania Governor Bid
National File ^ | Jan 9 | By Cullen McCue

Posted on 01/09/2022 12:37:57 PM PST by RandFan

Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano formally announced his intention to seek the GOP nomination for Governor of Pennsylvania on Saturday. The longtime Army Colonel spoke to a packed Gettysburg hotel auditorium of close to 2,000 supporters and received several high-profile endorsements over the course of the day. Mastriano, a first -term state senator representing Pennsylvania’s 33rd district, rose to national prominence after spearheading election integrity efforts in Pennsylvania. Mastriano was also a leading voice in opposition to Governor Tom Wolf’s draconian lockdown measures.

On November 25, 2020, Mastriano was instrumental in organizing a hearing where numerous Pennsylvania election irregularities were laid out. The committee heard from poll watchers from both Delaware and Philadelphia counties, statistics experts and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. “I don’t even know how this happened in America,” Mastriano said after hearing from the witnesses. “We can send, 50 years ago men to the moon, but we can’t have a safe, secure election in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania? What’s going on here…… We move heaven and earth to secure elections in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we can’t secure elections in Pennsylvania?”

On Saturday, Mastriano touched on the criticism he and his colleagues received from both sides of the aisle after standing up for election integrity. “What we have in Arizona is a direct result of Pennsylvania leading,” Mastriano said of the Arizona audit. “As to these ‘baseless claims’ that the media ridiculously calls them, I reviewed my findings about a month and a half ago on the anniversary of the Gettysburg hearing and guess what? They haven’t disproven anything,” he continued. “Our election system is compromised, it needs to be addressed, it needs to be corrected, and it’s not gonna happen with the same old tired, dinosaur Republican politician that we constantly elect…… It’s time that we stop settling.”

A little rigging here. A little rigging there and the democrats and their allies in the republican party ought to easily sabotage another election.

PA needs a Senate candidate.

Electing Oprah’s friend Dr Oz in an R jersey is a losing proposition

Kathy is a true believer and does more than say the right things.

Dr Oz is a lefist plant

Isn’t Doug “Mail-In” Mastriano the guy that allowed Wolf and the democrats to steal PA to begin with?

If the GOP is stupid enough to nominate Oz for the seat then they deserve to lose to the Democrats.

I agree. Oz is a RINO.

It will be interesting to see where Trump throws his support, if any. Lou Barletta was an early and consistent support of Trump. Sadly, Mastriano did not get it done when it came to election fraud. He let that dirty bag POS Corman have his way. Failure is a big problem with me.

In early 2020 Mastriano was calling for the government to compile a database and track people who tested positive for COVID.

He has my vote if he’s nominated, but I will never trust him. These @ssholes who spend their lives working in government never change.

Yes,in 2019 Mastriano went along with changes including no excuse absentee voting.

He said he was assured that the changes were made per the PA Constitution but others say they weren’t.

Also, Mastriano seems to have been a Senate candidate before officially announcing including fundraising. If true, that’s a violation of campaign finance laws.
