Statewide appellate court races don’t grab the headlines, but their campaigns actively seek and receive endorsements from across Pennsylvania. Those endorsements can say a lot about whom these women and men are and the philosophy they will bring to the bench.

This list of organizational and coalition endorsements was compiled by PCCJR to provide voters with a useful resource as they prepare to make their voting decisions this November. For full disclosure, this list was compiled from online sources, candidate websites and other sources in the public domain. Leading up to Election Day on November 5th, the list will be periodically updated as new endorsements are announced.

Check back with us for updates and feel free to share a link to this page with colleagues, family and friends.
