McCaffery (D), Carluccio (R) win Pennsylvania State Supreme Court nominations
(WHTM) – Pennsylvania voters have selected the two candidates who will face off in November’s Pennsylvania Justice of the Supreme Court election.
According to the Associated Press, Daniel McCaffery has won the Democratic primary race, while Republican Carolyn Carluccio has won the GOP nomination.
McCaffrey was endorsed by the state Democratic Party when he was elected to a 10-year term on the state Superior Court in 2019. He was endorsed as the party nominee for the supreme court seat in January 2023.
A former assistant district attorney in Philadelphia, he ran for district attorney in 2009 and lost in the primary. He also ended a brief candidacy for state attorney general in 2012 before winning a race for a Common Pleas Court judge position in Philadelphia.
McCaffrey served in the Army and received his law degree from Temple University.
Carluccio, Montgomery County’s president judge and the party-endorsed candidate, won the two-way race. She defeated Patricia McCullough, a Commonwealth Court judge who lost a primary for a high court seat in 2021, after party allies reported spending nearly $1 million to help her beat McCullough.
