A spokesperson for Shapiro, a Democrat from Abington in his second term as state attorney general, said Mastriano had not contacted the governor-elect directly to concede.if Mastriano had called to concede. “He doesn’t get to pick the winner. The people pick the winner.” Shapiro raised more than $65 million for his campaign this year, including $1.6 million from the Democratic Governors Association in the closing weeks of the campaign.
