Mastriano has held leadership roles as chairman of both the Senate Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee and the Senate Local Government Committee.

His posts reflect ongoing engagement with historical reflection during America’s upcoming 250th anniversary commemoration, commentary on current military changes based on his background as a retired U.S. Army colonel, and continued advocacy for Pennsylvanians including working families and small businesses.
