Pennsylvania State Sen. Doug Mastriano expected to make announcement about possible US Senate run

Pennsylvania State Sen. Doug Mastriano expected to make announcement about possible US Senate run
I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you, I hear you guys announced it this week. I'm not going to ask you to spoil that. But why consider getting back into another statewide race? Well, so Thursday night, probably around eight o'clock on Facebook, we'll do our live and my wife and I will be on there and we're going to lay out our vision for the future. You know, I'm kind of an odd critter here. I didn't get into politics. So I was 55 or so roughly around then. And so part of this new generation of leadership was *** retired army colonel. Had *** sweet federal job lined up to ride off into the sunset. Like Macarthur said in 52 you know, old soldiers never die, they fade away, we can't fade away anymore. So instead of taking that sweet job, I was offered to ride off in the sunset making *** lot more than *** senator makes. I got into politics to try to make *** difference for the next generation. So, what am I going to do on Thursday? It's going to be based on where I believe I can be most effective am I more effective in Harrisburg or can I be more effective in DC at this moment in time? I mean, things can change, things change constantly, but we'll have our announcement on Thursday and I think people will be excited to hear what we have laid out for our vision for Pennsylvania.
