Four weeks since securing the Republican nomination for governor, Doug Mastriano hasn’t planned a unity event to bring his former rivals together.
He hasn’t unfurled a laundry list of endorsements from GOP elected officials, as is fairly customary for a newly minted nominee who emerged from a competitive primary with a handful of opponents.
His campaign is largely ignoring national media requests. (Spokespeople declined to respond to questions for this story.) And the candidate himself has been slow to connect with people who want to be helpful, according to those who have tried to reach him…
Since cruising to a 24-point victory a month ago, the Mastriano campaign has shunned national media outlets seeking profiles and answers to rudimentary questions. Unlike his Democratic opponent, Attorney General Josh Shapiro, he hasn’t delivered a public speech to frame the general election. He hasn’t embarked on a statewide tour to portray party unity or asked high-profile Republicans to vouch for him.
Instead, he’s spent a bulk of his time online, doing Facebook Lives with supporters and sympathetic conservative media personalities.
