Former Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano has been nominated to be the ambassador to Slovakia by President Donald Trump.
Mastriano says he will continue serving as PA state senator until his appointment is confirmed by the senate.
Mastriano's nomination will also clear the path for PA state treasurer Stacy Garrity to oppose incumbent Governor Josh Shapiro as the Republican candidate in the general election this November.
Mastriano was defeated by Shapiro in the 2022 gubernatorial election by over 15 points.
