PA Judicial Elections Are Now Through November 4, 2025

Voting has started! Every Vote Counts! Time is of the essence!

The upcoming election on November 4, 2025 is extremely important for Pennsylvanians that support democratic principles, and both a rational and sane approach to the rule of law.

At stake are majority positions on Pennsylvania’s Supreme, Superior and Commonwealth Courts. These are ten-year terms that will affect judicial outcomes in Pennsylvania for decades. All of these Judicial candidates support Women's Rights, Workers Rights, Equity for All, Education, Voting Rights and in all likelihood many other things you feel should be protected.

The Judiciary can be one of the best ways of reigning in the worst excesses of the Legislative and Executive branches of government. Something that is sorely lacking at the National level.

The PA Supreme is the highest Court in Pennsylvania and is directly elected by the people of Pennsylvania. The Supreme Court currently has a 5-2 Democratic majority. This election there are three Democratic Supreme Court Justices up for retention

If even one fails to be retained … we can see the outcome in whats going on with the US Supreme court.

The PA Superior Court, is the court that hears appeals in both Criminal and Civil cases for Individuals and Businesses and Non-Profits. The Pennsylvania Superior Court currently consists of 15 judges, with 8 Democrats and 6 Republicans, plus one vacant seat as of October, 2025.

Judge Brandon Neuman, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Neuman , is running for the vacant Superior Court seat.

Judge Alice Beck Dubow, https://www.pacourts.us/courts/superior-court/superior-court-judges/judge-alice-beck-dubow, is running for retention.

The PA Commonwealth Court has jurisdiction over administrative and civil public law. This includes things like regulations related to environmental issues.

Judge Tsai, https://stellaforjudge.com/about/ , is running for a vacant Commonwealth Court seat.

Judge Mike Wojcik, https://www.pacourts.us/courts/commonwealth-court-judges/judge-michael-h-wojcik, is running for retention.

This nine-judge court currently has a 5-3 Republicans majority. A win for both would change that to 5-4
