PA-08: Bognet Says He is “United” with Doug Mastriano

Many wondered where PA-08 GOP candidate Jim Bognet stood on Doug Mastriano’s dangerous campaign for Pennsylvania governor.

We finally got an answer.

Last night, Bognet made clear he was “united” with Doug Mastriano and Mehmet Oz:

BOGNET (reading question 16:32) : “Will you stand by Doug Mastriano in this election and when he is governor?

BOGNET:  Republicans in Pennsylvania are united. We are all going to be campaigning together this fall. I was with Doug on Thursday!

A reminder of Mastriano’s agenda and history:

• Opposes abortion rights with no exceptions.

• Spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and was outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection risks alienating moderate party members. He’s also “rubbed elbows” with QAnon supporters.

• Opposes gay marriage and ridicules climate change as “fake science.”

• One of his consultants said Jews and other non-Christians could not be American

James Singer, DCCC spokesperson:
“Jim Bognet is a desperate, weak candidate aligning himself with the most dangerous GOP candidate in America in Doug Mastriano. Northeastern Pennsylvania will reject both of these radical candidates this November.”
