I like this part of his platform: > [@](#): > > A retired Army colonel who enjoyed a rapid political ascent since his election to a south-central Pennsylvania state Senate seat in 2019, Mastriano has proposed [banning abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy with no exceptions](https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/abortion-pennsylvania-race-governor-republicans-20220503.html). He has called for eliminating property taxes, expanding charter schools, and banning “critical race theory” in schools. [**SOURCE**](https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/doug-mastriano-wins-pa-republican-primary-governor-20220517.html) Never forget that Pennsylvania, demographically, was once referred to as “Pittsburgh at one end, Philly at the other, and Alabama in the middle.” I’m not worried about our crumbling infrastructure, lack of universal health care, skyrocketing housing (and food, and …) prices, the persistent pandemic, the war in Ukraine … as long as I’ve got a politician who’s vigilant about not letting Sharia Law become doctrine in the USA. /s We get the politicians we deserve … sadly. ---

Amusingly, just before election day I saw one of his signs with a Dr. Oz one taped over the top of of. “Let them fight!” ---

in an interview carried on msnbc while chuck todd was in pa last week; characterized the primary on the republican side as: “god, guns, gynecology”. that is what is important in the middle of pa. pa is an odd bird with west side rust belt, east side business/commercial, and middle farm and coal. ---
