09/20/2022

This episode we are joined by Senator Doug Mastriano and his wife, Rebbie. I am very grateful that the Senator and Rebbie found the time to sit down and have a discussion with us during this critical time in Pennsylvania.

Living a life of service with a 30 year career as a United States Army Colonel, ending his career as a faculty instructor in the Department Of Strategy at the US Army War College. Doug was then elected by the people to represent the 33rd District in the Pennsylvania Senate with 70% of the vote.

After seeing what has transpired over the last 2.5 years, Doug and Rebbie are in the thick of campaign season and running for Governor of Pennsylvania against opponent Josh Shapiro.

Senator Mastriano has a really good shot at winning the Governorship and it would be nice for the citizens of Lackawanna County to hear from him and Rebbie.

We hope this conversation does that.

Thank you for listening
