Pennsylvania voters are set to fill four open seats on statewide courts with candidates who could eventually help settle major cases on issues from abortion to elections.
The marquee contest in Tuesday’s election is for an open seat on Pennsylvania’s highest court. The state Supreme Court race is between Maria McLaughlin, a Democrat, and Kevin Brobson, a Republican.
Superior Court has a single opening being decided by Tuesday’s election, while Commonwealth Court has two openings.
In Philadelphia, the race for District Attorney pits republican challenger Chuck Peruto, a longtime criminal defense attorney, against incumbent Democrat Larry Krasner, seeking his second term.
Question one on the ballot for voters in Philadelphia is about marijuana.
It asks voters if the city’s home rule charter should be amended to call upon the Pennsylvania General Assembly and the governor to “pass legislation that would decriminalize, regulate, and tax the use and sale to adults, aged 21 years or older, of cannabis for non-medical purposes.”
If passed, the measure will not change any of the state’s marijuana laws, it would just let Harrisburg know how Philadelphians feel about the issue.
