GOP members have tested positive, and they only tell Republicans. They refuse to wear masks, even in small committee rooms. They’ve held COVID and conspiracy super-spreader events that threaten the health of Pennsylvanians and our Democracy. This is a horrific virus, and I hope everyone who contracts it recovers quickly. Still, there are things we can do to mitigate it. Over and over again, they refuse to embrace basic science. This pandemic doesn’t care about political party or position. All of us must model good behavior and help get this thing under control — period. I wish Sen. Mastriano and anyone else impacted a speedy recovery and pray that they model behavior like mask wearing that keeps us all safe.”Two weeks ago, State Rep.
