THE BEST OF THE REST
KENNETH MASH Kenneth Mash is returning to the helm of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties, the union representing faculty at state-owned universities. Mash will replace Jamie Martin, who chose not to run for reelection to receive medical treatment. Martin said there is “no better person to guide us through our next, challenging negotiations – especially with consolidations, the threat of retrenchment and funding issues at the forefront.” JOSH SHAPIRO As the presumptive Democratic nominee for governor, we knew Josh Shapiro would have a built-in advantage as far as fundraising is concerned, given that he doesn’t have to spend any money beating primary opponents. But Shapiro ended March with more than $16 million in the bank – more than all of the Republican gubernatorial candidates combined.
BILL MCSWAIN GOP gubernatorial candidates have been jockeying for the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. McSwain got the opposite, with Trump criticizing the former U.S. attorney for not pursuing debunked claims of widespread voter fraud following the 2020 election. Instead of an imprimatur, McSwain got this: “Do not vote for Bill McSwain, a coward, who let our Country down.” THE REST OF THE WORST FRANK SNYDER
The newly elected president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO didn’t have much time to celebrate his victory, with multiple accusations of harassment surfacing after Frank Snyder was elected in March. The national AFL-CIO is reportedly hiring a third party to investigate, and Bloomberg reported that there are more than a dozen current and former AFL-CIO staffers who are claiming to have witnessed Snyder allegedly subject women to “humiliation, bullying and degrading language.” THOMAS RICHARD GLAZEWSKI Odds are you’re not overjoyed by prices at the pump – but Thomas Richard Glazewski took it to whole ’nother level. The Manor Township man was arrested and charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief after putting stickers of Joe Biden on gas pumps. Glazewski reportedly yelled “I did that!” just before he was tackled by police. Talk about sticker shock.

FRIENDS OF ENID SANTIAGO; US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
LOSERS ENID SANTIAGO We’re in for a rematch in the Lehigh Valley. This Democratic candidate for the 134th House District seat will be on the ballot after a judge threw out a challenge to his nominating petitions. Santiago lost to four-term incumbent Peter Schweyer by just 55 votes in 2020. The court decision may be appealed, but as of now, it’s game on in Allentown.
