Guidance for the Upcoming Elections

On November 8th, citizens of Bucks County will be called upon to vote whether or not to retain




  • one Judge of the Supreme Court,

  • two Judges of the Superior Court,

  • three Judges of the Commonwealth Court, and

  • one Judge of the Court of Common Pleas.

In addition to those retention votes, we will be asked to choose between candidates for



  • Judge of the Superior Court,

  • Judge of the Commonwealth Court, and

  • Judge of the Court of Common Pleas.

Further, we will be asked to vote for



  • two County Commissioners,

  • a Register of Wills,

  • a County Treasurer,

  • a Clerk of Courts, and

  • a Coroner, as well as

  • various other choices in the different municipalities.

Even in this "off year" election, this is a staggering set of choices. What are the perspectives of these varied candidates on the issues of the sanctity of human life and marriage/family? Such information is so vital to our properly exercising our roles as Faithful Citizens.

While Catholics could certainly use candidate information, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference does not appear to be providing such for these elections. Fortunately, guidance on the positions of some of these candidates is available from the Pro Life PAC of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Family Institute.
