On November 3rd we'll be electing three members of the PA Supreme Court, almost half the Court. That means after the election the Court could wind up split anywhere from 5-2 Democratic to 5-2 Republican.
If the Court is controlled by Republicans, we'll probably lose a wide range of cases involving:
- full funding for public schools
- gerrymandering
- fracking
- prisoner rights
- the right of Philadelphia to enact a minimum wage
- regulate guns
And whether Democrats win these races will depend almost entirely on turnout in Philly because that's where the Democratic voters are. Yet, most people in Philly don't know this election is even taking place. (Neighborhood Network)
Not often that we get three open seats in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. I've been calling people to get them involved with this very important election. Most are on board but some did not know about the election or who is running. Important for us to get this election information out to as many registered voters as possible, for we must win!!
n addition to being one of Philadelphia’s most reputable photographers – with a career spanning over 20 years – Dominic Episcopo has created perhaps one of our most awe-inspiring, and creative signs.
