Pennsylvania Republican governor nominee Doug Mastriano, a state politician who has been connected to a CMC (formerly Conservative Mennonite Conference) congregation, lost his bid for election to the state’s highest office Nov. 8.
​

His embrace of Christian nationalism, lack of faith in electoral systems and support from former President Donald Trump helped him win the primary with 44% of the vote but proved to be challenging baggage when courting general-election voters. Mastriano received 42% of the vote in a race that had been viewed a toss-up in early April before the primary determined the two main political parties’ candidates.

Donald Trump 
lost Pennsylvania in 2020 by just around 80,000 votes out of more than 6.9 million cast for president.

​This year, in the background of the state’s governor’s race — in which Attorney General Josh Shapiro is

The Amish vote and what it means for 2020

Via Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A political action committee building support for President Donald Trump’s re-election bid is gearing up in southeastern Pennsylvania to once again reach out to an often overlooked group of conservative voters — the Amish.

With its rolling fields and farms, most people don’t think of Lancaster County, home to one of the largest Amish settlements in the U.S., as a political hub. But it quietly hosts a number of politically active Amish — an invisible part of the voting population that helped turn the state red in the 2016 presidential election.

A conservative group that frustrates Republicans

The Amish are members of a devoutly religious community with Swiss-German roots who rely on themselves. They do not pay Social Security taxes and lack health insurance. When somebody falls badly ill, the community chips in to pay for care. “They are the original Tea Party,” says Donald Kraybill of Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania.
