Beyond the Supreme Court: How Appellate & Lower Courts Shape Justice

Webinar Series: Navigating Pennsylvania’s 2025 Judicial Elections

Part 2: Beyond the Supreme Court: How Appellate & Lower Courts Shape Justice

Judges don’t just decide cases—they influence the fairness of elections, the safety of our communities, and the strength of our democracy. As Pennsylvanians prepare for 2025’s judicial elections, knowing how to navigate these races is essential.

In Part Two of Navigating Pennsylvania’s 2025 Judicial Elections, C70’s Andrew McGinley and Tanisha Bezue will turn the spotlight on Pennsylvania’s appellate and lower courts. They’ll break down the judicial retention process and share how voters can cut through the noise to make confident, informed choices. 

Together, they’ll explore:

  • The impact of appellate and lower courts on Pennsylvania’s justice system.
  • What retention elections mean and how they work.
  • Trusted, nonpartisan resources to guide your vote.

They’ll also reflect on key takeaways from our recent event – Candidate Forum: Judges for Pennsylvania Commonwealth & Superior Court – giving you context straight from the candidates and justices themselves.

Each part of this webinar series aims to leave you with a deeper understanding of Pennsylvania’s courts and the power voters hold in shaping their future.
