Vote Blue This November !!! 

Joint Statement from the Democratic Committees of PA State House District 28

 

On Nov. 20, Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17), a combat veteran, was subjected to a shocking call for execution by the President of the United States for upholding his oath to the Constitution.

This attack on a sitting representative is an attack on democracy itself.

 

Even more alarming is the absolute silence of our own State House Representative, Jeremy Shaffer. In the face of an explicit, violent threat against a colleague and veteran, Shaffer’s refusal to condemn this is a profound moral and political failure. His silence speaks volumes. It suggests a tolerance, or worse, an endorsement of political violence.

 

Decency requires a stand. 

Denouncing a call for execution should not be a partisan decision—it is a basic test of leadership. The residents of PA-28 deserve a representative who will unequivocally stand against threats of violence.

 

We demand that Representative Jeremy Shaffer immediately issue a clear, public statement denouncing the call for execution of Congressman Deluzio.

Matt Goss for Borough Council

I grew up just outside the borough, spending my grade school years at BWE, and realizing at a young age how unique this community is. After moving away for over two decades, I chose to return eight years ago to build a family in Bradfordwoods, because there is no place I would rather call home. I’ve seen both the strengths of our community and the challenges we must face together. I’m running for Borough Council because I believe in building a future that reflects our shared values.

As your representative, I will work to strengthen local services, support small businesses, protect our environment, and ensure every resident has a voice in shaping our future. I also know that progress requires collaboration. That’s why I am committed to working with council members across the aisle, finding common ground, and focusing on practical solutions that benefit everyone in our community. By bringing people together, we can ensure our borough continues to thrive for generations to come.

Theodore Andrianos
Write-In Candidate for Borough Council

My family and I moved to Bradford Woods in 2022. We instantly fell in love with the borough, sense of community, and all of our wonderful neighbors! If elected to Borough Council, my primary focus would be ensuring the safety and serenity of borough residents, addressing (and improving) our local infrastructure, and promoting community engagement to further strengthen the bond we hold as proud residents of Bradford Woods!

Pennsylvania State Supreme Court
VOTE “YES” to retain PA Supreme Court Justices:
Christine Donohue
Kevin Dougherty

David Wecht

In Pennsylvania, judges serve for a 10-year term after which they are on the ballot for a “retention”. election. In 2015, Pennsylvania elected democrats Kevin Daugherty, Christine Donohue, and David Wecht to the State Supreme Court.

There are currently 5 democrats and 2 republicans serving on the State Supreme Court.

If the 3 Justices are not retained, that majority will go away and our rights will be in jeopardy with voting rights and health care rights being at the top of the list.

It’s imperative we retain DONOHUE, DOUGHERTY, and WECHT by voting YES!

Pennsylvania Superior Court

VOTE “YES” to retain PA Superior Court Judge Alice Beck Dubow
And, ELECT Brandon Neuman to the PA Superior Court

The PA Superior Court is one of Pennsylvania’s two statewide intermediate appellate courts. The Superior Court is often the final arbiter of legal disputes. The Supreme Court may grant a petition to review a decision of the Superior Court, but most petitions are denied and the ruling of the Superior Court stands. Cases are usually heard by panels of three judges sitting in Philadelphia, Harrisburg or Pittsburgh, but may also be heard en banc by nine judges. The Superior Court often travels to locations throughout Pennsylvania to hear cases.

PA Commonwealth Court

VOTE “YES” to retain PA Commonwealth Court Judge Michael Wojcik
And, ELECT Stella Tsai to Commonwealth Court

The PA Commonwealth Court is one of Pennsylvania’s two statewide intermediate appellate courts. The Commonwealth Court is primarily responsible for matters involving state and local governments and regulatory agencies. It also acts as a trial court when lawsuits are filed by or against the Commonwealth. Cases are generally heard by panels of three judges in Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, although, on occasion, they may choose to hold court in other locations. Cases may also be heard by a single judge or by en banc panels of seven judges.

Allegheny County Common Pleas Court

Vote “YES” to retain Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas Judges seeking retention:
Hon. Edward Borkowski Hon. Alan Hertzberg
Hon. Beth Lazzara Hon. Jennifer McCrady
Hon. Hugh McGough Hon. Dan Regan
Hon. Dwayne Woodruff

The Courts of Common Pleas are the general trial courts of Pennsylvania. They are responsible for appeals from the minor courts, appeals not exclusively assigned to another court, and matters involving children and families.
