Twenty candidates seeking seats on three statewide courts faced off May 16. With seven statewide seats available, a total of 14 candidates won their party’s nomination. Although the top vote-getters in the three statewide races had all received their party’s endorsement in the lead-up to the primary, two candidates rated as “not recommended” by the Pennsylvania Bar Association won enough votes May 16 to head on to the general election in November.
Superior Court
The Superior Court race was a very tight contest, with five candidates on both the Republican and Democratic tickets vying for four open seats.
