Upcoming May primary Dem candidates

Just a friendly reminder we have primary elections coming up in May (May 17th, iirc). If you can't get to the polls, absentee ballot applications are now being sent out.

The Nov elections are local municipal elections and also statewide judicial elections. Electing Democratic judges is critical to stopping the GOP. However, it can sometimes be hard to know if a judge is actually a Democrat or Republican because candidates can cross-file and appear on both the D and R primary ballots (PA is a closed primary state). Here's a list of PA Dem party endorsed judicial candidates running statewide: http://www.padems.com/candidates/

You'll have to check your local Dem party for endorsed candidates specific to your municipality.
