WASHINGTON, Pennsylvania — For the first time in years, one Democrat running for statewide office came close to winning this southwestern Pennsylvania county — 900 votes separated Josh Shapiro from Republican Doug Mastriano in the gubernatorial race. That’s a big deal if you are a Democrat running for statewide office here in Pennsylvania.
In our first interview after he won his primary election last May, Shapiro told me he was running to represent the people of Washington County and not the people running Washington, D.C. It was an ethos he never strayed from during his entire run for office but also an ethos he adopted in both of his runs for statewide office as attorney general.
Philadelphia-based public affairs professional and political observer Larry Ceisler is a native of this county and a supporter of Shapiro. He has long said that if Shapiro won this state by more than 8 percentage points, he would take Fetterman with him into the winner's circle. He wasn’t wrong.
