In the lead-up to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention race this November, a Republican-aligned group that is bankrolled by conservative billionaires is now sending out misleading mailers about the Pennsylvania Congressional map.
The ad falsely claims the state Supreme Court gerrymandered Pennsylvania's congressional map and uses a map that the court actually struck down, blaming the three justices up for retention in November.
While conservatives try to lie and cheat, the DNC is all hands on deck to ensure the people of Pennsylvania choose their justices, not right-wing billionaires like Jeff Yass - including through our new six-figure investment to support the Pennsylvania Democratic Party in their on-the-ground voter contact efforts, including to retain Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht.
DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
"MAGA billionaires are trying to buy the Pennsylvania Supreme Court by any means necessary, even if it means deceiving voters. As the DNC works to ensure Justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht are retained this November, we'll continue fighting to make sure it's Pennsylvanians who choose their leaders and not GOP billionaires who only fight for themselves and Donald Trump. Republican lies and deception are once again at the forefront. Pennsylvanians will see right through this and vote to retain their Supreme Court justices in November."
Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Eugene DePasquale issued the following statement:
"Much like we saw in Wisconsin, MAGA billionaires are lying and trying to buy this election so they can install a Pennsylvania Supreme Court that will put the needs of the wealthy ahead of the rest of us. We can't allow our elections to be bought, and we must fight to protect a fair Supreme Court that will stand up for fair elections, reproductive rights, and working families across the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania needs to vote 'Yes' this November."
