Related: About this forumR state treasurer Stacy Garrity will run for gov
Per a Post-Gazette story today.
Garrity is every bit as nutty as Mastriano. She did not go to the Capitol on Jan 6th, but she did attend and speak at a rally in Harrisburg in front of the state capitol disputing the results of the 2020 election. She called results "tarnished forever".

(9,251 posts)1. She's got no chance. No name recognition. Shapiro would beat her by 10+ points.

if you asked Pennsylvanians on the street who is governor they'd say Shapiro, then who is state treasurer, they probably couldn't name Garrity.

Let's face it, Pennsylvania is an expensive state to run for office. Shapiro doesn't even have to run in the primary race. In the general election next year, he has all the Dems, most of the independents, and even some of the Repukes who are voting for him. How can he lose?
