Meet the Candidates for the Court of Common Pleas

All 22 Candidates for the Court of Common Pleas submitted short video "selfies" speaking directly to voters.

We asked each candidate to answer 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?

Hear from the candidates in their own words on our Common Pleas Video Gallery page at www.lwvpgh.org/common-pleas

LWV Advocacy

LWVPGH sign at Hands Off Rally in Pittsburgh

Call to Action:

Oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. LWVUS, LWVPA, and LWVPGH ask all League members and the public to contact their US Senators and ask them to vote “NO” on the SAVE Act. The US House of Representatives passed this bill on April 10, 2025. Now it is in the Senate for consideration.

The SAVE Act

would require in-person citizenship documentation to register to vote, putting an unfunded burden on all county elections offices
would exclude millions of eligible citizens from registering to vote if they don't have passports, access to their birth certificates, or if those documents do not reflect their name following a name change if their married name does not match their birth certificate name.
would effectively end online voter registration and mail-in voting
would limit voter registration efforts by nonprofits like the LWV
would require military voters, and any other voter who moves, to present documentation every time they re-register to vote due to a move

See You in Court: LULAC vs the Executive Office of the President

On April 1, 2025, the League of Women Voters Education Fund, LWVUS, LWV of Arizona, NAACP, Hispanic Federation, OCA—Asian Pacific American Advocates, and Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, asserting Executive Order #14248 violated the constitutional separation of powers and federal law. This Executive Order would curtail mail-in voting, allow DOGE to access voter lists, and require proof of citizenship to register to vote using the federal registration form. Read about the case here.
