The two candidates for PA governor sure are making waves in the spending department, and one candidate's running up a record-breaking bill. Candidates Josh Shapiro (D) and Doug Mastriano (R) are in a final boss battle, and we have the receipts.🧾

Here’s Five Fast Facts on the price tag of the PA governor's race:

‍

1. 👛 Nickels and Dimes - Shapiro has reportedly received over $5.5 million so far from the Democratic Governors Association. Mastriano claims he hasn't received a dime from the GOP.
