Last week, C70, League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts hosted the Behind the Ballot: Fireside Chat on the PA Supreme Court Retention Election this November 4th.

This is the only time voters have been able to hear from the PA Supreme Court Justices up for retention election - Justice Christine Donohue, Justice Kevin Dougherty, and Justice David Wecht. We are proud to have hosted this event and allowed voters to gain a better perspective on what a retention elections is and where the Justices stand.
