2022 PA Governor's race: on Crime


Doug Mastriano: Use $100 million in federal funds for law enforcement

Senators Doug Mastriano and Devlin Robinson announced a plan to introduce legislation that will use $100 million in federal funds to establish the "Law Enforcement Recovery Grant." "There is a growing bipartisan chorus to adequately fund our law enforcement agencies in the aftermath of COVID-19", said Mastriano. "The law enforcement recovery grant will ensure that agencies across the commonwealth have the resources needed to properly serve their communities and save lives."

Joe Gale: Appalling to criticize insurrection but not other protests

[On Jan. 6 riot] "I have consistently been a voice for law and order and spoken out against protests that devolve into riots, violence, and destruction," said Gale. "For doing so, I've been smeared, censured, and physically targeted. Now politicians and the media are suddenly outraged, after having spent the last year justifying, excusing, and often ignoring the unrest and lawlessness that destroyed nearly every major city in the nation. This double standard is purposeful and appalling."
