Members Only Election Briefing

The Supreme Court retention race may be drawing headlines, but it’s far from the only contest shaping Pennsylvania’s future this November.

Philadelphia voters will face a full ballot this November, with contests for District Attorney, City Controller, and new Judges of the Court of Common Pleas and Municipal Court. Statewide races include Judge of the Superior Court and Judge of the Commonwealth Court, along with judicial retention elections for sitting judges across all court levels. Voters will also choose their local Judge and Inspector of Election within each ward and division.

On Wednesday, October 22 at 1:00 PM, C70’s Vice President of External Affairs, Andrew McGinley, and Program Director, Tanisha Bezue, will walk through these races and highlight a few high-profile countywide contests in the collar counties. They’ll share trusted, nonpartisan resources to help you make informed choices at the polls and will reserve time for audience questions.
