Mastriano, a career Army officer, wrote in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/doug-mastriano-pennsylvania-vote-midterm-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opinion piece<\/a> for Fox News that his opponent, Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro, is a replica of state and federal left-wing establishment politicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis agenda is simple: he wants to raise taxes, expand our bloated government bureaucracy, expand harmful economic regulations, and keep our energy sector \u2014 which has the potential to be among the most productive in the nation \u2014 on its knees,\u201d Mastriano asserted. \u201cBecause of his failure to do his job, violent criminals are taking over our cities, drug dealers are making record profits on the streets, and car thieves are jacking vehicles in broad daylight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mastriano has given few media interviews and received <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrat-governor-candidate-breaks-pennsylvanias-campaign-spending-record-republican-spends-less-than-10-as-much\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">little support<\/a> from establishment Republicans, even as Shapiro broke the commonwealth\u2019s gubernatorial campaign spending record. The former candidate has trended below his opponent by double-digit margins in most polls, although some surveys give him slightly better odds. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trafalgar-founder-on-poll-indicating-pa-senate-race-tightening-people-starting-to-pay-attention\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> from The Daily Wire and Trafalgar Group found that 52.8% of voters support the former, while 43.5% favor the latter.<\/p>\n<p>One of Mastriano\u2019s few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/not-on-my-watch-pennsylvania-governor-candidates-graphic-new-ad-torches-gender-ideology-in-schools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaign advertisements<\/a> centered upon radical gender theory in government school curriculum. He vowed in the opinion piece to implement a statewide parental rights law meant to \u201cempower Pennsylvania parents\u201d as well as \u201cprotect female students\u201d by banning biological males from competing on women\u2019s sports teams or using women\u2019s locker rooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShapiro would not lift a finger to stop \u2018progressive\u2019 extremists who are indoctrinating our children with obscene propaganda in our classrooms,\u201d Mastriano added. \u201cOn day one, I will restore common sense to our education system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roughly 74% of registered voters support school choice, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/poll-more-parents-now-support-funding-students-not-systems-after-year-of-covid-lockdowns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> from RealClear Opinion Research, while search engine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/restoring-america\/community-family\/midterms-2022-here-are-the-issues-pennsylvania-voters-care-about-the-most\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data<\/a> analyzed by the Washington Examiner appears to show that education is a particularly salient issue for voters in Pennsylvania. Shapiro, who is supported by the commonwealth\u2019s largest teachers union, added language to his campaign website in support of \u201cadding choices for parents and educational opportunity for students and funding lifeline scholarships like those approved in other states and introduced in Pennsylvania.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania voters, especially in the southwestern portion of the commonwealth, are consistently focused on the issue of fracking. Mastriano promised to \u201cunleash our energy sector\u201d and \u201cpromote investment in the natural gas and coal industries\u201d while pulling the state from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a program among states on the eastern seaboard meant to cap carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector. \u201cMy administration will greatly simplify the permitting process and incentivize energy production across the state,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is competing against Democratic Lt. Governor John Fetterman for a seat in the U.S. Senate, emphasized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ozs-closing-statement-to-pittsburgh-voters-less-crime-more-energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">similar issues<\/a> in his appeal to voters. The race for Pennsylvania\u2019s open slot in the upper chamber is a tossup heading into election day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican State Senator and Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano emphasized education reform, public safety, and the economy in one of his final appeals to voters in the Keystone State.
