Pa. Supreme Court election is right around the corner
Pennsylvania is one of those places where politics never sleeps. The commonwealth has elections every year. This year will be no exception, of course, with the 2023 Municipal Primary Election taking place on Tuesday, May 16.
While these off-year elections are primarily known for county races, there are some statewide judge contests that are worthy of our attention. First and foremost is the race to fill the State Supreme Court vacancy created by the Sept. 30 death of Justice Max Baer, a Democrat.
So far, two Democrats and one Republican have said they are running to fill the vacancy, Republican Carolyn Carluccio, the president judge of the Montgomery County Court; and Democrats Deborah Kunselman and Daniel McCaffery, both Pennsylvania Superior Court judges.
Each will run in their respective parties to determine who will face off in the general election on Nov. 7. There may be more candidates. The Supreme Court race is very important, especially to Republicans, who if successful in winning in November, will cut the Democrats' court majority down to 4-3.
