With only one state Superior Court judgeship up for election in this off-election year, political observers said that this sort of election cycle tends to favor Republicans rather than Democrats.
Earlier this month, the Republican Party unanimously endorsed Victor P. Stabile, the managing partner of Dilworth Paxson’s Harrisburg office, after Robert C. Wyda, a district court judge from Allegheny County, withdrew his name for endorsement while saying he would remain in the race, according to news reports.
