Below you can view the individual responses from the statewide Supreme Court, Superior Court, and Commonwealth Court candidates as well as local County Courts of Common Pleas. Not all counties have judicial seats open, so your county may not be listed.

There are also retention candidates in statewide and county judicial positions. You are simply voting Yes or No on retaining these judges for another ten years. We did not question these candidates.

This voter guide is a nonpartisan educational resource provided as a public service. This guide is factual, impartial, and nonpartisan. Each candidate in the races covered was treated equally and had the same opportunity to respond to the questions. Concerned Pennsylvanians dedicated to responsible citizenship have donated to make this resource available. No candidate or political party paid for any part of the guide. No candidates are endorsed.
