Primary election day in Pennsylvania is now less than six weeks away. Consequently, many candidates for local office are busy introducing themselves to voters, or in the case of incumbents seeking re-election, highlighting their records.
Joe Gale, a Montgomery County commissioner who says he wants to roll back Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting law, announced on Tuesday that he will seek the Republican nomination for governor in 2022.
Pennsylvania’s top election official spent nearly three hours Thursday defending her handling of the 2020 presidential election and calling for an end to the ‘lies that have been proven again and again to be false.’
Among the more than 60 state representatives and state senators who last month petitioned Pennsylvania’s Congresssional delegation to reject the 20 Electoral College votes certified for Joe Biden were several elected officials from the Lehigh Valley area.
The Lehigh Valley’s representative in Congress joined other Democrats and a handful of Republicans in voting to impeach President Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection Wednesday, a week after the deadly attack by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol.
Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Franklin) was seen in social media photos outside the U.S. Capitol before insurrectionists attacked the building last week.

State lawmakers in Pennsylvania denounced violence in Washington on Wednesday after a mob of Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol to impede the official count of Electoral College votes.
Normally a formality in the lead-up to Inauguration Day, Monday’s meeting of presidential electors received far greater attention than usual, as President Donald Trump continues to deny the results of November’s election. Trump lost the race to Democrat Joe Biden, but has refused to concede.
Though likely doomed, the effort comes as GOP leaders continue to cast doubt on the integrity of Pennsylvania’s vote-by-mail process and the November election.
President Donald Trump summoned Pennsylvania state lawmakers to the White House to talk about the election, but those who went weren’t talking about it later.
