These are pretty good points. It's wild to see only senator ads, which is why I'm frustrated. Everything these politicians are running on should be wide spread by now. Even with fetterman and oz, without research all ive seen is smear and "I'm you buddy, trust me"

You aren't seeing Mastriano ads because the guy is so bad he can't raise money. Even the right leaning Super PAC hit pieces against Fetterman are basically saying "Shapiro is ok but Fetterman is a far left wacko!!" because they know Shapiro will win and want to get people to "feel good" about being Shapiro/Oz voters.

Just visit their websites for their platforms and priorities.

For a guy who cant raise money he sure has spent a ton on those cheap ass signs that blow all over the place any time the wind blows more than 10 mph.

>Shapiro has reported $44 million in spending, including in-kind contributions, eclipsing the 2001-02 campaign spending record set by Democrat Ed Rendell of just under $42 million. He still has weeks left to add to that total.

>Mastriano, in turn, has reported spending of less than $3 million. Shapiro reported having $11 million still in the bank; Mastriano reported $2.6 million.

>Mastriano said Friday that he has not seen a dime of aid from the GOP’s counterpart organization, a frequent gripe of his.

You can thank Dick Uihlein for the sign money: >His biggest donor is the Midwest shipping supply magnate Dick Uihlein and his wife, who are large contributors to conservative causes and gave Mastriano $1 million.
