Mastriano campaigns in Butler County
PENN TWP — If elected, Doug Mastriano said he would get Pennsylvania out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, responsibly roll back other environmental regulations, and take action to keep boys out of girls’ bathrooms and off their athletic teams on his first day as governor.
Mastriano, the Republican gubernatorial candidate and a state senator, made a number of “day one” promises, criticized the Democratic Party and Democrats, including his opponent Attorney General Josh Shapiro and Gov. Tom Wolf, during a campaign stop Wednesday, Oct. 12 in Butler County.
“I’ll smoke Josh Shapiro like a bad cigar,” he said.
About 200 people attended the rally at the Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport, where Mastriano spoke for about 40 minutes inside a hangar.
Mastriano is a retired Army colonel with a doctorate in history who has been representing the 33rd District since 2019. The district includes Adams County, most of Franklin County and parts of Cumberland and York counties.
