In one of Tuesday’s less-watched elections, three Democratic Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices held onto their jobs.
Their wins marked a big victory for green groups who got involved in the normally low-key judicial retention elections in the Keystone State, where Democrats and liberal groups rallied to fight a well-funded conservative push to oust those judges.
“The people of Pennsylvania defeated the billionaires who spent big trying to convince them to remove three highly-qualified Justices from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court,” said Voters for Earthjustice Action Pennsylvania IEC Political Director Yaheiry Mora.
Last month, Voters for Earthjustice Action Pennsylvania IEC and Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania Victory Fund announced they were spending a combined total of more than $300,000 on the judicial races.
