Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas

Candidate Video Gallery

In the Allegheny County Common Pleas race, there will be 12 Candidates running for 8 open seats. Voters in this race will be asked to vote for up to 8 candidates. The League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh is providing this Candidate Video Gallery to allow you to hear from the candidates in their own words before making your selections.

We asked each candidate to submit a short video answering 2 questions:

1. How much courtroom experience have you had either as a lawyer or a judge, and what types of cases have you handled?

2. What types of alternative sentencing, if any, might you impose, and why?

There's a lot to keep track of in this race. Would a "scorecard" help?
