HARRISBURG (AP) – PA’s Democrat gubernatorial nominee has smashed the state’s 2-decades-old campaign spending record. Josh Shapiro is competing against Republican Doug Mastriano, who was on track to spend barely a tenth as much. Shapiro still has weeks left to add to his total as he leads polls. Mastriano still predicts victory and touts his campaign as an unrivaled grassroots operation, but acknowledges he’s being hammered in the race for donations. Campaign finance filings show Shapiro has outspent Mastriano by 16 to 1 in the 2021-22 campaign cycle.
