*Statewide judicial races determine our
human rights, political districting (which
affects who wins congressional and
presidential elections) and all other
aspects of life in the commonwealth.
PA Supreme Court: we did not
connect with the Woodruff campaign
until a day before the vote. Based on
good faith, dashed-off answers, we can
almost endorse--but we’re unclear on
one or two significant issues. Given that
his opponent is bad on a range of our
issues, we nevertheless strongly suggest
you vote Dwayne Woodruff (Honorable Mention). We re-endorse
Justice Debra Todd for retention.
**Commonwealth Court: we have two
non-standard endorsements.
Ellen Ciesler’s history and responses
to other groups confirm that she’s good
on all our issues. Due to our error, we did not get her questionnaire. We
nevertheless endorse her. Technical
problems on our end also prevented
Irene McLaughlin Clark from
answering half the questions. Given the
importance of these seats, Clark’s
excellent answers to the bulk of the
questions and her strong background,
we also endorse her.
VOTE Tuesday November 7, 2017!
