HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Pennsylvania Republican nominee for governor Doug Mastriano has appointed former President Donald Trump’s former campaign lawyer as a senior legal adviser to his campaign. Lawyer Jenna Ellis has endorsed Mastriano in Pennsylvania’s Republican primary, she has campaigned with Mastriano and has hosted Mastriano on her podcast to discuss election fraud. Mastriano said Monday that Ellis brings the “talent, experience and legal expertise” to help defeat Democrat Josh Shapiro in the November election. If Mastriano were to win in the fall, he’d shape how elections are conducted in Pennsylvania where the governor appoints the secretary of state, who oversees elections.
