Fellow activist,
It is being reported that Republicans are starting to pour money into the state ahead of the critical PA Supreme Court retention elections.
The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), which, according to Spotlight PA, helps to fund state-level GOP candidates, has spent nearly $100k on social media digital ads since September 8 to ask voters to vote “No in November.”
As we’ve sounded the alarm on in the past, a GOP political consultant has stated that “This is a political consultant's dream, because your message is just one thing, and that's ‘No.”
Greedy corporations and billionaires like Jeff Yass and Elon Musk have rigged the economy to exploit working people, and now they want to rig Pennsylvania’s highest court. This fall, we won’t let the ultrarich buy our courts to protect their own power and profits.
As a reminder, three PA Supreme Court justices (elected as Democrats) are seeking to retain their seats after their ten-year term. PA has non-partisan judicial retention elections. On Election Day in PA, voters will vote “yes” or “no” to decide whether to keep these justices on the bench. If MAGA is successful with their anti-retention campaign, the PA Supreme Court could have three vacancies until the Governor can appoint and confirm their replacements (which is unlikely, as this would require support from Republicans in the PA Senate) or until the next judicial election
in 2027.
Republicans see this as their best chance to reverse a Democratic majority on the PA Supreme Court and establish a MAGA-controlled court. Join us as we work to ensure voters understand what’s on their ballot and turn out to vote by rushing $25 immediately.

Thank you,
