In Pennsylvania Judicial & Local Elections Just Days Away!



From Pennsylvania Catholic Conference

On Tuesday, May 19 Pennsylvanians will elect candidates to represent their political parties in contests for mayor, city council, county commissioner, township supervisor, school board, and many other municipal positions. We will also vote for judicial candidates: Justice of the PA Supreme Court, Judge of the Superior Court, Judge of the Commonwealth Court, and Judges of Common Pleas Courts.

Electing qualified, capable local officials and value minded judges is just as important as electing the right governor or lawmakers.

Local officials are responsible for corrections and law enforcement, resources to educate our children, public health and safety, human services for people in need, and more. Judges make decisions that affect everyone, including who has a right to life, what is marriage, when should religion be protected, who can adopt children, and many other important questions.

The challenge with municipal and judicial elections is finding information about the candidates on which to base your voting decision.
