Although Mastriano was considered a likely Republican candidate, he decided that he could be most effective in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pennsylvania-state-sen-doug-mastriano-not-running-for-us-senate\/\" title=\"PA State Sen. Mastriano won't run for US Senate.\">current state senate position<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump endorsed Mastriano and held a rally in Pennsylvania days before the election for governor. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also visited Pennsylvania in 2022 in support of Mastriano\u2019s campaign. Despite the lack of funding from the state and national GOP, Mastriano\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oakland-city-council-votes-to-reallocate-police-funding-despite-spike-in-violent-crime\/\" title=\"Oakland City Council Votes To Reallocate Police Funding Despite Spike In Violent Crime\">solid base<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-state-student-pauses-education-after-finding-four-month-old-baby-in-trash-in-haiti\/\" title=\"Texas State Student Pauses Education After Finding Four-Month-Old Baby In Trash In Haiti\">supporters donated<\/a> as individuals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I have decided not to run, someone else will decide to run, and someone else will win the primary next year and be the nominee,\u201d Mastriano said. \u201cAnd whoever is that nominee, Rebbie and I will support them, and we hope you will too because I don\u2019t want any other Republican candidates to go through what we went through last year when our own party betrayed us.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Walk as Free People Movement<\/h3>\n<p>Although Mastriano is not running for the U.S. Senate seat, he is still committed to the \u201cWalk as Free People\u201d movement. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, he went live nightly on Facebook, updating the public on what the Pennsylvania General Assembly was doing in response to the pandemic. He encouraged viewers to walk as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-legislature-introduces-first-in-nation-resolution-to-protect-against-democrat-court-packing\/\" title=\"Arizona Legislature Introduces First-In-Nation Resolution To Protect Against Democrat 'Court Packing'\">free people<\/a> and not give up their rights. He hopes to expand the movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to continue to grow our statewide network across the state in every county. We\u2019re going to continue to be relevant and active,\u201d said Mastriano, adding that this is part one of a two-part plan to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>The second part of their plan is to hold an annual Freedom Conference where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-are-no-friends-of-freedom-the-american-spectator-usa-news-and-politicsthe-american-spectator-usa-news-and-politics\/\" title=\"Democrats Are No Friends of Freedom\">ordinary people<\/a> can connect, encourage one another, and equip themselves through grassroots education about the workings of local government.<\/p>\n<h3>The Field So Far<\/h3>\n<p>Senator Bob Casey announced his plan to seek another term in April. At 62, Casey was treated this year for prostate cancer. He took minimal time off for treatment and posted photos of himself working from home while he recovered.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pennsylvania state Sen.
