PA Primary May 21

[femmocrat]

Does anyone have any recommendations for judges for the Superior Court. We can vote for two.
The democratic candidates are McCaffery, Tarasai, and Green-Hawkins.

Thanks!

Also, don’t forget about the special election in PA12. We have a chance to pick up a new democratic congressman, Marc Friedenberg. GOTV!!!

1. Just started to research the judges this morning. Would also

like to hear from others in the group regarding their impressions.

2. After a lot of digging, I found these two were endorsed by the PADems:

Amanda Green-Hawkins and Daniel McCaffery for Superior Court judge.

It shouldn’t have to be this hard. It’s even hard to find a sample ballot!

No wonder people go into the polling place without a clue and vote by name recognition. I still can’t find anything on the candidates for Common Pleas court in our county. Our county line offices just have one candidate per office, so no-brainer there.

We also have about 10 candidates for school board and there is no way to know who the democrats are because they cross-file!

3. Usually the League of Women Voters puts out something about the candidates

4. Dan McCafferty is former PA Supreme Court Justice Seamus

McCafferty's son. Seamus McCafferty had to resign in the pornmail scandal that swept the state a few years ago. Seamus McCafferty became well-known for "Eagles Court", the court set up in the bowels of the football stadium that handled rowdy fans on the spot.

I voted for Tarasi and Green-Hawkins.

5. I thought that name sounded familiar! Thanks.

McCaffery won I think. Our local newspaper has abysmal coverage.

Did Marc Friedenberg win in PA-12?

6. No, lost 2-1, but did win State College area

by about the same margin.
