John,

The phrase “judicial retention election” evokes the image of a boring parochial municipal election.

Unfortunately for Democrats the stakes of the upcoming 2025 Pennsylvania Supreme Court Judicial Retention election couldn’t be higher and no one is talking about it.

“Unusually aggressive” is an understatement. The GOP is preparing to spend presidential type election money, in the tens if not hundreds of millions, in this often overlooked judicial election.

MAGA is laser focused on this election, but Democrats, rightfully focused on flipping the House, have sadly forgotten about this race and we are sleepwalking into disaster. If the GOP takes the PA supreme court majority it will spell doom for Dems in PA and across the nation.

A red PA Supreme Court will help the GOP to grow their House majority by engineering safe blue House into new red ones through gerrymandering. It will also ensure that there is no judicial oversight body to challenge MAGA election rigging schemes in the 2026 midterms and in the 2028 presidential election.

We are screaming from the rooftops that we cannot sleep on this race. Democrats can win here and retain our supreme court majority but only if we get the word out.

Most Pennsylvania Democratic voters don't know there is a critical election this year and that's where Defend our Courts comes in. We are one of the only organizations ringing an alarm bell about this race, we’re doing everything we can (ads, mail, canvassing, etc) to get out the vote and avoid a catastrophic defeat for democrats here.

Can we count on you to chip in anything to help Democrats defend our courts from the massive red wave that is about to descend on Pennsylvania? We can’t afford to let MAGA steal this critical court.
